My name is Ryan and I am an educator, curriculum designer, gym owner, author, and Jiu Jitsu practitioner with over 20 years of experience designing learning experiences and over 5 years training on the mats. My work blends teaching, skill development, and ecological training principles to help grapplers think more clearly about how they learn and train. For fun, I enjoy traveling and cross-training at different gyms to experience new rooms, styles, and training cultures.
