Ryan Hall 50-50 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu .....stuartcooperfilms

Black Belt under 2-time world champion, Felipe Costa and representative of the Marcelo
Garcia Team, Ryan Hall is one of the most competitively successful American-born Jiu-Jitsu players to date and is widely regarded as one of the best lightweight submission grapplers in the world.

Ryan is an IBJJF Mundial (world), No-Gi Mundial, and European champion and medalist at the CBJJ Brazilian National (Brasiliero) championship, but is best known for his accomplishments on the world level of no-gi submission wrestling competition where he has faced and defeated some of the sport's greatest champions. Ryan has been invited three times to compete in the ultra-prestigious Abu Dhabi Submission Fighting World Championship where he is one of only a handful of non-Brazilian competitors in the history of the event to have come home with a medal.

This is where you should train if you are from NoVa or DC. highly recommend him as a teacher.

Why you advertising him here

Open mindedness?

^ whats that stuff?

He seems like he might be a douche, but I think its just because he likes to win. He's still one of my favorite fighters. Thanks for posting I haven't seen this yet.

He's not a douche. He's cool as hell and really caters big time to visitors with lots of personal attention to the point of basically giving free privates. He just likes to win and takes competing very seriously. He came up in Team Lloyd Irvin, so what else would you expect?

Awesome video by the way. Love the heel hook, arm triangle, and darce entries on the video.

I think he seems cool as hell. Hes a great competitor and obviously loves the game. Cant wait to train with him one day.

Every chance he gets he talks shit on rubber guard

Not everybody is going to like the rubber guard. To each their own

He talks about it in the DVD's, he doesn't like the idea of being flat on your back and the limited hip movement. Although, this applies to submission grappling, not mma. In mma the clinch in more important, not so much in submission grappling though, I'de take hip mobility control of posture until I can get the hand to the matt.

Ryans comments are on mission control, I haven't seen him talk down on any part besides that.

He def has a lil 10p/Eddie hate. The shit about Denny made him look arrogent and petty.

With the utmost respect. It has always been Eddie's philosophy of learn everything from everyone that drew me to him as a mentor. The most obvious example would be to switch sides. If I was part of 50/50 would it be better for us to ignore and shun 10p, or study and adapt it? Many have made the mistake of underestimating and not taking us seriously. Then after they get go-goed or trucked they are secretly on the internet or buying MTRG and MTT. We should never be guilty of this. Friends close, enemies/rivals closer.
