Half guard is one of the most difficult guards to completely shut down—but Gordon Ryan has spent years developing a systematic approach to dismantling it. Now, that system has evolved.
In Systematically Attacking The Half Guard 2.0, Gordon “The King” Ryan returns with an updated approach to one of the most important passing situations in modern no-gi grappling.
Half guard passing isn't simply about freeing your trapped leg. Against experienced grapplers, you have to defeat layers of defense involving frames, knee shields, underhooks, inside position, upper-body connections, and constant attempts to recover guard or come up into wrestling exchanges.
Gordon shows you how to solve those problems systematically.
Learn how to establish the positional advantages you need before committing to the pass, win the battles for head and inside position, control your opponent's upper body, neutralize their strongest defensive structures, and progressively remove their ability to move.
Instead of teaching one pass and hoping it works, Gordon gives you an interconnected system for dealing with the reactions you're actually going to encounter.
When your opponent frames, you have an answer. When they build a knee shield, you have an answer. When they fight for an underhook, you have an answer. When they change their half guard configuration, Gordon shows you how to change with them and continue progressing toward the pass.
That's what makes Gordon's approach so effective.
You aren't forcing techniques—you are systematically eliminating options.
As arguably the greatest no-gi grappler of his generation and one of BJJ Fanatics' best-selling instructors, Gordon has built his career around turning complicated positions into understandable systems that can be studied, repeated, and applied against resisting opponents.
Systematically Attacking The Half Guard 2.0 brings that approach back to half guard passing with Gordon's newest details, refinements, and strategies for controlling and passing one of grappling's most important positions.
Upgrade your passing, eliminate the half guard player's strongest weapons, and learn how to turn one of grappling's most frustrating positions into a pathway toward dominant top control.
