Gordon Ryan's performance at ADCC 2022 was incredible. Gordon Ryan beat Andre Galvao and his former teammate Nick Rodriguez on his way to winning double gold. The question that everyone is asking and the question that Lex Fridman asked John Danaher in their recent conversation is "Why is Gordon Ryan so good?" John Danaher has many students but only one Gordon Ryan. Why is this the case. In this video we look at his ADCC performance as well as Gordon Ryan vs Felipe Pena and do an analysis of Gordon's jiu jitsu and discuss how his BJJ is so much better than the rest of the competition. We also compare Gordon Ryan to Rickson Gracie and analyze the match between Floyd Mayweather vs Conor Mcgregor to see what similarities we can draw.

I have spent the past few months focused on passing half guard and am happy to announce that I have compiled all of my findings to create my first instructional course! My goal is to give you a clear game plan and training methods to transform your guard passing

This is outstanding work. I've been doing jiu jitsu for almost 27 years now. The best guys I've ever trained with were incredibly predictable. I could write out step-by-step what they were going to do. I just couldn't stop it. The longer I train the more I'm convinced this is the type of jiu jitsu I want. In many ways Gordon has old man jiu jitsu. His style should age very effectively.

I love that boxing analogy, it's very accurate. It's like Lomachenko applying constant defensively minded pressure to make his opponent work and figure out their tendencies, and then by the fifth or sixth round when they're starting to tire and he has them figured out he puts it together and starts picking them apart. He will do constant feints and level changes and keep his opponent working and thinking so they can't rest while never putting himself in danger.

Brilliant. I refer to this as “cooking”. But marinating is great too. I have been getting to this idea of interim stages while progressing from one position to another, but as always, you articulated it brilliantly. When you have such interim checkpoints, oftentimes the opponent, upon some valiant effort, is only able to bring you back one step - but to the previous checkpoint, rather than the previous position. So we are in a better spot to restart forward movement. Thank you!

When I watch Gordon Ryan one word comes to mind "Systematic". He slowly, and systemically breaks you down, until you wilt under his pressure

This channel man - top content, honestly. The cerebral take on things is refreshing, informative and thought provoking. Thank you for your work 🙏🏼

Zero pointing (as Rickson calls it) is such a beautiful concept, it something I'm always trying to get better at. Great breakdown!

@death0hand0 3 years ago

love the checkpoint concept. Gordon talks allot about backtracking in his instructionals, where you let them think they're recovering but you only let them recover to a position with shitty positioning or grips

Still a great video

@jiujitsuismyoutlet 3 years ago

This is a fantastic video. Our head coach is James Krause and he always emphasizes “cooking” the opponent. This is an essential part of our team’s style. Cook the opponent until they give up an opening… at his last seminar, James was saying that he likes for us to hangout in top half guard and make the opponent miserable instead of trying to pass or go for the finish …. Cook them in that position for awhile (especially if you can strike) and don’t overcommit on a big attempt to knock them out or go for a submission. Just chill and don’t lose the position. Wear them out and then wait for the back exposure and finish. Beautiful !

This is such an impressive observation
I have been doing it unconsciously in MMA for a lot of time, I had been always going forward establishing the jab ,entering the pocket and again resetting which amounts to nothing,but when I corrected it.
I started getting success ,after I established a proper setup to for combo ,I go only forward into the combo not letting my opponent press the reset button.
So now I basically go for the jab ,and go for a combo and continue with a takedown , once get into the pocket , I don’t reset
But now I learnt a new way ,where I can purposely pressure him and let my opponent press the reset button as many times as possible,until I get the right moment to progress further in the pyramid
Great video ,fabulous job!

Gordon plays dilemma based games. His movement is based on the opponents reactions.

Boxing fan here with almost no knowledge about BJJ. Was just trying to get what the Gordon Ryan brilliance is all about. This video is engaging and easy to understand, and gave me a lot of insights. Thank you!
