Switched off Glick, started Gordon Ryan's Foundation of Offense
Brian Glick's Only Way Out wasn't granular enough to embody. Moved to Gordon Ryan's Foundation of Offense V01 — added a verbatim transcript, a new principle, and a new skill to the Mat.
I'd been working through Brian Glick's Only Way Out on the Mat for a couple months — Volumes 01–02 transcribed verbatim, principles and skills extracted. The teaching was correct. The problem was the resolution. Glick tells you primary hand supports, secondary hand supports and that's true, but on the mat I kept losing the position because the explanations didn't tell me what to look at, what fails first, or how to recover when the primary grip gets stripped. I couldn't embody it because the picture wasn't detailed enough.
Gordon Ryan's Foundation of Offense (Danaher / B-Team lineage) goes a layer deeper on the same material. So I switched. This commit lands Volume 01 verbatim — 816 lines of transcript with BilibiliTimestamp components on every section marker — plus the two pieces I most needed Glick to spell out and he didn't. The new principle, disconnect hips, re-center head, names the geometry shared by every rolling escape from a guillotine or kata-gatame: post hip, post knee, fall to a hip, drive the head from the hip back to the centerline. One principle, every variant. The new skill, defensive hand position, extends Glick's grip-fighting with the cue I was missing — look toward the strangle arm, chin to shoulder, so when the primary gets stripped the space between jaw and collarbone stays closed — and a deliberate four-step replacement sequence for when the primary does get beaten.
Glick's volumes stay on the site. The Mat index now lists both sources side by side: Glick as worked through, switched off, Gordon as currently studying. The principles and skills indexes inherit from whichever source taught them best.
