“Gordon Ryan They Shall Not Pass. The live narrated rolling sections are incredible. Finally understood how to frame properly.”
“Watch Gordon's They Shall Not Pass or Danaher's GFF Guard Retention. Both are excellent. Gordon's is more advanced.”

Guard retention finally made sense
I used to just grab legs and pray when someone passed. After this instructional, I actually understand frames, hip escapes, and the positional hierarchy of guard recovery. The live rolling footage where Gordon narrates what he's doing against 5 training partners is incredible.
Essential for anyone who gets passed a lot
I'm 48 and my guard was getting passed constantly by younger guys. This instructional gave me a framework for retention that doesn't rely on athleticism. It's about positioning and understanding where to put your body. My guard retention has improved dramatically.
