FlowChart - Systematically Attacking The Guard 3.0 by Gordon Ryan

GORDON'S INSIDE CAMPING ON ONE PAGE

This FlowChart is not a substitute for the DVD. It's a study aid to help you learn Gordon Ryan's instructional Systematically Attacking the Guard 3.0: Inside Camping from BJJ Fanatics: you watch the DVD, the FlowChart helps you understand and remember it. The DVD is sold separately on BJJFanatics.com.

Made by BJJFlowCharts. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Gordon Ryan or BJJ Fanatics.

Let me ask you a question. You've made it to Inside Camping, and he holds you off with long-range frames. What's your plan? And when his frames are short-range? Same plan? It shouldn't be.

If you're like all of us, after 81 chapters and almost four and a half hours of video, the answers blur together. You need a map to connect all the dots.

(Gordon's answer, by the way: against long-range frames, Low Head; against short-range frames, High Head. It's right there on the chart.)

WHAT YOU GET

One PDF FlowChart of the 8-volume instructional (81 chapters, almost four and a half hours of video):

• 2 STARTs: Seated Guard and Supine Guard, and every way in leads to Inside Camping and its two styles, High Head and Low Head
• 49 technique cards (12 of them Key Points), 24 reactions and 6 positions, linked by arrows: what he does, what you do next
• A theory card with 10 short sections, like Purpose of Camping and When to Use Camping, plus a one-line summary of the whole system
• The volume and time on every technique card and theory section, like "DVD 2 - 11:35", from Volumes 1 to 7 (Volume 8 is rolling)
• A color code for Entries, Inside Camping, Inside Camping Key Points and Passes, plus Reactions / Conditions, Positions and Links
• One target: Chest to Chest Half Guard, the green box at the end of branch after branch in High Head and Low Head

It's for you if you have the instructional (or plan to get it) and want to pass by making the guard player carry your weight until he's tired. Not for you if you want to learn without the videos: there's no video inside.

FROM ENTRY TO PASS

From Seated Guard or Supine Guard to Inside Camping, then High Head or Low Head: each card's color tells you its job.

Entries
Volume 2 gets you in, and every way in ends with the same instruction: "Move to Inside Camping." Cards include Hand Fighting to Inside Step (DVD 2 - 00:38) and Camping from a Trapped Ankle (DVD 2 - 08:46).

Inside Camping
Once you're in, one line on the chart sums up the whole system: "Set up camp and make them carry your body weight in a way that they can’t off-balance you." Then he fights back with an underhook, a butterfly hook, a double shoulder post or his foot on your hip, and each one has its answer. Cards include Keeping the Bottom Foot Trapped (DVD 3 - 11:25) and Clearing Double Shoulder Post (DVD 6 - 09:24).

Inside Camping Key Points
Your body position, your balance and how you beat his knees. The Staying Balanced card puts it simply: "Float over your opponent. Be water." Cards include Three Important Points of Connection (DVD 3 - 04:45) and Stabilizing Stance (DVD 6 - 06:40).

Passes
Where all that weight pays off: Side Control, Mount, North-South or Outside Camping. From the leg ride, Knee Slide (DVD 4 - 25:06) keeps it simple: "If you have inside elbow position: Lock crossface and secure Side Control." Cards include Passing to Side Control (DVD 3 - 27:31) and High Stepping (DVD 7 - 06:54).

EVERY CARD POINTS TO ITS MOMENT

Each technique card gives the volume and the time where the technique starts. DVD 2 - 11:35 means Volume 2, at 11 minutes 35 seconds: Toreando to Camping.

Want to see Countering Knee Lever again? DVD 4 - 05:28. Don't waste time searching for a technique you think you saw on DVD 4 somewhere...

WHY A MAP?

You might be thinking: "It looks cool, but is it that helpful?"

Yes. It makes a real difference. Hours of video give you the pieces. The FlowChart shows you how they connect: he does this, you do that. That's what you need when his frames change and your camp has to change with them.

And it's not just me saying it. A 2018 review of 142 study results, with almost 12,000 learners, found that learning with concept maps beats the other ways of studying it was compared with, in science and non-science subjects alike.

Here's how to get the most out of it:

• Before you watch a volume, look over its part of the chart, so you know where each clip fits.
• After training, cover a branch, say the next move out loud, then check.
• Make it yours: add your own notes on the PDF. The same review found that building the map yourself helps even more.

ON SCREEN OR ON YOUR WALL

The FlowChart is one big PDF page in English: 165 × 62 cm (65 × 25 in).

• Computer or tablet: the best way. Zoom in anywhere and the text stays sharp. It's real text, so you can search it too.
• Phone: pinch to zoom, for a quick look before class.
• Print: go big. Ask a print shop for an A0 poster (24 × 36 in at the smallest). On A1 or a home printer, the text is too small to read.

QUESTIONS

Are videos included?
No. The FlowChart is a study aid for Gordon Ryan's DVD, not a substitute: you need the DVD from BJJ Fanatics to learn the techniques.

Can I get a refund?
It's a digital download, so all sales are final (see the Refund Policy). Trouble with the file? Send me a message and I'll sort it out.
