Systematically Attacking the Scrimmage Submission Offense by Gordon Ryan
The scrimmage is where matches are won.
It's the chaotic space between established positions—where elite grapplers create openings, force reactions, and find submissions long before their opponents realize they're in danger.
No one understands this better than Gordon Ryan.
Widely regarded as the greatest No-Gi grappler of all time, Gordon has built his career on systematically dismantling the world's best athletes through superior positional understanding and relentless submission offense. In the latest installment of his acclaimed Systematically Attacking the Scrimmage series, Gordon reveals how to transform transitional exchanges into one of the most dangerous parts of your game.
This isn't a collection of submissions.
It's a complete offensive framework for identifying opportunities in the scrimmage, creating dilemmas your opponent can't solve, and flowing seamlessly from one attack to the next until the finish is inevitable.
Whether you're attacking guillotines, front headlocks, arm locks, triangles, leg locks, or back takes, Gordon explains the concepts that connect every submission together. Rather than relying on speed or athleticism, you'll learn how to use positioning, leverage, timing, and intelligent decision-making to stay several moves ahead of your opponent.
What makes Gordon's instruction so valuable is his ability to simplify incredibly complex situations. He breaks every exchange into a logical system, showing not only what to do, but why each decision creates the next opportunity. The result is a submission game that feels fluid, calculated, and impossible to stop.
If you've ever found yourself winning the positional battle but struggling to finish... or if you've watched Gordon effortlessly transition from scramble to submission against the world's best competitors and wondered how he makes it look so easy, this instructional provides the blueprint.
