STUDENT EXPERIENCES
What Our Students Say
Experiences shared by students who have trained with Pure Grappling and Ryan Cheng.
Esafe HaveaNew Zealand
“I spent a solid 6 weeks training under professor Ryan at Puregrappling in Chiang Mai. In that 6 weeks I was able to make huge gains in technique and thought process. Professor Ryan’s classes were always well planned and loaded with just enough detail to stimulate and provoke thought but not too dense to be overwhelmed. … This is where I saw professor Ryan’s ultimate professionalism as the effort and energy was the same as a larger class.”
Peter ChiangHong Kong
