Coach Ryan

Ryan has been a competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and a passionate coach for more than 10 years. He won a Gold medal in the North America Open in 2014, and Gold (2016) and Silver (2018) Medals in the Asian Championship. As a fighter of smaller body size, Ryan knows how to apply techniques to counter the weight and power of larger opponents. Ryan’s teaching emphasizes body mechanics, injury prevention, strategies and tactics of Jiu-Jitsu, and the precise application of technique. His approach to teaching gives students an accelerated, deeper and more comprehensive understanding of this complex grappling sport.

Ryan is always keen on finding different ways to make improvement on his Jiu-Jitsu journey. Yoga has become an integrated part of Ryan’s life when the practice help him heal the spine injuries due to years of intense Jiu-Jitsu training. He took Yoga teacher training with two Indian yoga masters, who had inspired him with tremendously insightful knowledge of the human body and mind, which has sharpened his understanding in Jiu-Jitsu from different perspectives.

Ryan believes in sustainable training. He encourages his students to be open-minded and to keep exploring themselves in their own practice, and most importantly, to enjoy the process.

"Ryan benefited my Jiu-jitsu immensely. I was able to get all the answers to my questions and he helped me to fix holes in my game that I couldn't see. He gave me drills and techniques to work on that were suitable to my body type and level of experience. I improved very quickly, and he helped me to develop a mindset of chaining my movements together from one technique to the next as the fight changes and adapt to secure a better submission or position. I highly recommend anyone to take advantage of Professor Ryan's teachings if you have the opportunity."

Breaking down all the steps for you to learn Jiu-Jitsu effectively

"Ryan played an instrumental role in my Jiu-Jitsu journey. I only started BJJ at an older age despite having done various forms of martial arts. I was therefore very particular when choosing a coach in that I was looking for someone with a vast amount of knowledge, proven competitive records and be able to tailor instructions to my size, athleticism, age and general physical abilities. Ryan is an encyclopedia in grappling and was very effective in communicating concepts and techniques and has a teaching style that is result oriented. Thanks to Ryan who has enriched my enjoyment and achievements in my Jiu-Jitsu journey."

"Ryan is a dedicated BJJ instructor and practitioner who is extremly knowledgable, technical and updated on this ever evolving art. He teaches very effectively , showing each technique with necessary details, and then fine tune the details according to each student's ability and body type. Ryan was very patient, answered all questions in an easy to understand manner and helped me improve. After two years under his tuteledge he suggested guards and techniques I should focus on, which led me to get double bronze medals in IBJJF World Master Championship as a blue belt, he also literally coached me to get double silver medals in masters division of Asian Open Championship. Ryan is the best instructor one can have and I highly recommend his service to all, men and women , young or old. Whether your goal is winning championships or leisure sparring for fitness I am sure you will see results from Ryan's instruction."

Peter Chiang54 years old

"When teaching BJJ, Ryan’s concern is not about how good you are but how good you enjoy the fun of interacting in sparring. Ryan has a kind of magic to make you tap and not making you frustrated. When sparring with him, he focuses so much on helping you to check your own body position that you cannot focus on trying to win. This really change your mindset in sparring. Your focus naturally turns to understanding yourself. So, the pressure of sparring disappears and you just enjoy the process."
