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.

[@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

[@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

[@michelpapineau8868]

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

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!

Gordon blinked 50 times in the first 10 seconds

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 👍

[@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.
