Understanding The Closed Guard by Gordon Ryan

[@Stumpasm123]

"When in a live roll, most of the time that you spend is going to be in a neutral position" Speak for yourself I spend 80% of my rolls under side control

Thank you Jon Danaher. Your hair looks lovely today.

By Ryan's teaching style, you could tell he's trained by Danaher!

[@ridikrossbitch]

Yeah, you can tell who he spends most of his time with okmm :D :D

[@ashmoore2927]

soon as he started talking he sounded just like Danaher

100% right

OMG do not tell me XD

[@bannercarlos637]

One of the best counter to the closed guard is a fat belly

[@MrSinusu]

Banner Carlos That's quite true.

[@F.G.30.4.91]

I've worked on this one for many years

[@jongrappler287]

and that's why there is half guard

[@zikmel2372]

It might sound funny but it's absolutely true by experience, u simply can't close the guard

[@Leitefsj]

It’s also a great counter to the mount.

[@4Timesdafunky]

Damn. Danaher's influence on Gordon is astonishing. I click on this to learn some techniques. Instead I was treat to the best John Danaher impression I've ever seen. Even their mannerisms are extremely similar.

[@JumpToChorus]

Hearing Gordon’s muffled voice “an angular advantage 🤓” while being in that goofy position at 3:37 cracked me up 😂 with all due respect of course he’s a beast and I’m a fan

[@Madmac79]

I can see, of course, the good influence of JD in the way Gordon teaches. I'm sure he's already an outstanding teacher.

[@tomiibarrientos9440]

I was also thinking the same, the way he aproachs and the way he talks is similar

[@patphilloccap]

Awesome technique. GR is really a gifted grappler. Sounding a lot like his teacher, Coach John Danaher, sans the accent, when he teaches. Thanks for sharing @Bernardo!

[@Shanesxperiments]

Thank you! Not a lot of No gi closed guard videos out there.

[@brodiehalbfoster3403]

Check out Neil Melanson's stuff

[@2008israelramos]

Love Gordon's game. He's probably the best ever nogi submission fighter of all time. I would love to see him do some MMA before he's done.

[@lemmegetone]

We can all agree this was a good lesson on closed guard. Thank u

[@michelpapineau8868]

Awesome video! I really like the systematic, strategic breakdown! I'll be looking for more videos from Gordon! Thanks for this!

[@whoozworldizthis4221]

Wow picked up so much from this and understand tot more. Great comments about pulling the long end of the lever I wish my instructor spoke about that stuff not just the technique

[@jasonrosati2487]

Gordon's jiujitsu is on another level.

[@jorgeherrera1074]

Who else hears Gordon as a Danaher who just speaks slightly faster?

[@joesloan2207]

Thanks for the Intel Gordon and Bernardo

[@TheLoobis]

Gordon does a good job explaining things.

[@Akrabut]

Great video, adding some video examples from actual fights can really upgrade it. Osss

[@alexcs3104]

Gordon blinked 50 times in the first 10 seconds

[@Rujewitblood]

He was definitely nervous in the beginning then relaxed a little bit, doing things like this especially in front of the camera is fucking hard

Gordon doesn't only talk like Danaher, but if you follow his insta you'll know he writes like him too. I've mistaken his jujitsu posts for Danaher's many times, lol.

Looked like he found it a bit overwhelming. He’ll be kicking himself now no doubt. Also danaher went to university before ever training. He started bjj at 28 or something. Gordon’s maxed out his head with ‘mat talk’ since 15. Hes doing well though 👍

EXCELLENT JOB! Thank you so much. I really love those tricks in order to get an advantage position. It is amazing, 👌👌

[@PolarBearon]

I feel I'm in an advantageous position if I just have someone in my closed guard. Not neutral. But I'm just a blue belt so wtf do I know. But good video.

[@christianfairfaxpk]

I've heard it described as closed guard with their posture broken is slightly advantageous to you while closed guard without their posture broken is slightly advantageous to them. They are still "on top" and if there were strikes allowed it could still be super dangerous if they have posture.

[@PolarBearon]

@@christianfairfaxpk That makes sense. I really started feeling that my closed guard was a great position for me after I studied posture breaking and posture control a lot. So I'm good at hand fighting and posture control now in my guard now.
