The blinking is part of his jiu jitsu strat. Don't hate =D. You haven't seen his multi-blink into the traingle setup yet.

his blinking IS kinda annoying, but when your as sick as him, BLINK AWAY!

I'm glad this post is up so I'm not the only one that is confused. I just finished the 2nd DVD of his Triangle. Through out the 1st and 2nd, it seems as if Ryan Hall is anti - 10thplanet?? I'm trying to take from it what I can as there are some great stuff on there. But also I have to filter out his bias for 10thplanet techniques. Got his back take DVD also, but haven't got time for that yet. So how is the relationship between Ryan and 10thplanet? I'm confused.

Depending on who you talk to you may hear stories of some friction between him and Denny Prokopos, but there's no larger beef that I know of. I've visited 5050 before a few times and he's never said anything bad about Denny or anyone else 10p. He has strong beliefs about certain things and he is firmly rooted in believing that the lockdown for example is an inherently bad position to use. Same with the rubber guard I think. If you see any of his sets besides the triangle set you won't really get that vibe. For the rolling back attack he may mention something about not needing to triangle your legs but that's it. Also, he gives shit all around, including himself. On his new sets he'll say that he used to be dead wrong about teaching something a particular way. and on his head and arm chokes dvd series he basically says that almost every instructor teaches arm-in chokes poorly. I think after seeing it I agree.

Yeah I'm not sure his reasoning on taking he digs on 10th Planet but honestly the concepts are extremely valuable. I've been studying his cross grip/inverted guard DVD and it's been awesome. From what I've seen he only says a couple comments so if you just disregard them you'll learn something regardless.

Ryan is one of my favorite guys, but with that being said, he speaks in too many absolutes. He is always correcting himself. He actually recently wrote an article describing how he thinks trying to play offensively from the guard is absolutely useless at the higher levels, then puts out an inverted guard DVD. Idk. That guys got some amazing jiu jitsu, but he says some crazy stuffs.

I am trying to study his triangle dvd and only got to the 2nd dvd. I do like what I'm seeing, its just that some of the thing go against what our system philosophy, ie to clinch or not to clinch. He basically saying clinching game will not ever be successful at high level. Maybe I should wait for him to change his mind again??

i have it and i love it. for my money he is one of the best teachers in the game. i love how he teaches principles, concepts, and movements as the basis for the techniques he shows. great dvd set.

I agree Brandon, Ryan is an excellent instructor
