Check Out The Trailer!
What Will You Learn?
Gordon “The King” Ryan, the greatest no-gi grappler on Earth, is back with BJJ Fanatics to show all of the most effective ways to escape from all of the most effective and common strangles in jiu-jitsu. Across 8-volumes, learn how you can master early and late defenses that will help you escape from triangles, guillotines, darces, and more strangles you will encounter on the mat.
In step-by-step fashion, you will get a guide on how you can get out of these holds and counter your way into better positions. Gordon shows you how to use techniques with maximum leverage, explaining not just what to do but why you are doing it, as he goes through each of the major strangles - broken down by upper body strangles (like a guillotine) and lower body strangles (like a triangle).
Learn why you can only consider yourself a true master of a move once you understand the defense as Gordon explains how the escapes of each move influences the offense (and vice verse).
Watch these systems in action as Gordon rolls live in the gym and then breaks down each roll - for you to see what he’s doing and hear why he’s doing it. With 8 volumes full of material for you to study, this offers you a full encyclopedia of all the major strangles that you’ll need to escape from, with full explanations from Gordon Ryan on how you should be building your way out from any of them.
