Systematically Attacking From Closed Guard by Gordon Ryan

Totally levelled up my guard game.

Totally levelled up my close guard game. There’s a lot of information here but it is all very effective if anything just these starting hand positions alone with side scissor, pitch head lock, et cetera are super dominant and effective.

I haven’t seen every JJ instructional in the world but Gordon’s vids are probably the best videos I have watched. The pacing is good, the details are good. There’s plenty of little nuggets that you can immediately plug into your game and there’s broader stroke concepts and techniques that you can work and digest over time. What can’t be overstated is the value of a true system to deal with various guard concepts. Lots of great information here!

Great value for the content. In my opinion the portions where Ryan explains how he incorporates Danaher's methodology to finish his triangle chokes are the most valuable. They had a big, noticeable effects on my submission attempts and finishes.
