Systematically Attacking From Top Pins: Mount
By Gordon Ryan
Systematically Attacking From Top Pins: Mount by Gordon Ryan covers reaching mount, retaining it and attacking from it. Escape responses and remounting sit alongside arm isolation and submission combinations.
Six instructional volumes are followed by sparring footage and commentary. The combination suits no-gi top players who want positional detail as well as examples of how Ryan applies it in live exchanges.
Is this for you?
- You reach mount but lose control during bridges, knee-elbow recoveries or submission attempts.
- You want mount-maintenance instruction alongside arm-isolation and finishing options.
Also consider
Craig Jones: Riding Control with Power Ride — For lower- and upper-body riding tools across several top positions.
Gordon Ryan: Side Control and North-South — For side-control and north-south maintenance and attacks rather than a mount-focused course.
Coverage and limits
- Mount entries, maintenance and remounting from three-quarter mount.
- Bridge and knee-elbow escape responses, cross-wrist controls, underhooks, high mount and S mount.
- Armbar, triangle and arm-triangle attacks, plus separate rolling and commentary volumes.
Limits
- Mount organizes the course; it is not a comprehensive treatment of side-control, north-south or turtle riding.
