The reviews
Game-Changing Concepts – Way Beyond Just Moves
The insight Gordon provides in this one is incredibly valuable. It’s one thing to memorize a bunch of isolated techniques, but this instructional actually breaks down the bigger macro outlook of the sport. Understanding the overarching strategy and why you should be doing things proved to be way more valuable to my game than just drilling another random submission or sweep. If you're trying to tie everything together and see the whole board instead of just the individual pieces, this is exactly what you need. Highly recommend.
Great training insights from one of the best of all-time
A must-have for mindsets, thought processes, and actionable ways to constantly and consistently improve your game for both hobbyists and competitors. I will be revisiting this constantly. It's basically an audiobook!

I learned so much from this video and was really impressed with how thorough and well organized the material was. This was the first G. Ryan video I purchased and I was floored by the depth of the info and how much he really puts into being the best.

Haven’t finished it all the way through yet but all the information so far looks to be extremely crucial for anyone who wants to be the best athlete (or hobbyist) they can be. Thank you for creating this Gordon can’t wait to compete with you one day 😀 👍�

Great advice. Now go put in the work.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Love it
Learning Gordon’s approach on this was extremely helpful
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Need a Pt. 2 when he does MMA
Great product. As always, Gordon goes in-depth on every topic and provides insight from his experience. A lot of guys can tell you the same things--****, they probably have--but having it all in one place is incredibly convenient.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great mentality
The overall mentality is great for competitors and hobbiest. It gives great mental advice, but it’s up to you to apply the advice given.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great mindset
Helped my mindset a ton all around
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Learn from the king
Awesome tips by the king of no gi. I read this all the time. Any training by Gordon is great!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Very informative and interesting
Really interesting information and insight on how an elite level practitioner approaches training and competing. As a hobbyist I found it useful in helping me to understand how I can maximise and improve my training.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Good watch
Good to see what makes the king tick. If you’ve been training a while and are competitive there’s nothing here that you don’t already know. I’d suggest buying one of the instructional’s instead.
Memes aside, good information
I was hesitant to purchase this instructional, but with a daily deal and coupon code I spent $29. Here are my impressions. First, ALMOST ALL of the information in this instructional has actually already been explained by Danaher and Gordon across various podcasts, interviews, etc. If you're diligent, you can find most of this information for free on youtube. Second, if you have limited money and time, YOU WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER OFF BUYING ONE OF HIS TECHNIQUE FOCUSED INSTRUCTIONALS. That being said, this instructional is a general guide to doing BJJ that I think will be very helpful for serious competitors. Gordon goes into detail on the nature and purpose of his specific training methodologies, approaches to competitions / unique rulesets, goal setting and general improvement, as well as his own experiences in getting to where he is now. There's really not any useless information here (that you might expect from a "mindset" instructional). You get roughly four hours of content, as well as a 20-page ebook that summarizes what he's saying. I would buy this on sale.
RYAN GORDON
The mindset you need in life just not BJJ. You can apply this mindset in business, bjj, etc. I love it watch it numerous times and answered many questions I had.
Response from BJJ Fanatics😉🤗Great info about Mindset
There are a lot of different training approaches both physically and mentally. It was nice to hear how Gordon approaches his training regarding both aspects. He explains several important concepts that can be used by all competitors.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great product that will make you think about the best ways to progress
This was super interesting. I especially loved the segments on the ways he practices. Gordon Ryan is very wise for his age. I highly recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻As Always, Gordon has the
As Always, Gordon has the best instructionals. As he stated on the Systematically attacking the guard he aims to be a second sensei to you.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻best instructional i know
not sure why this isnt more popular! it's amazing.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Game Changing
I feel like this is Gordon’s most useful instructional. I feel like the mental aspect of training is never talked about and seeing what the best in the sport does both mentally and physically in training, I feel, has more impact than his physical techniques. Plus this dvd is half the cost of all his others so it’s a steal.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗😎Amazing!
Amazing, I recommend this to anybody looking to learn from the world's best King Ryan.
