Introducing the

Pure Grappling Online Coaching

Our approach to online coaching is to provide complete training guidance for your Jiu-Jitsu. In addition to mastering the techniques, we also stress the importance of injury prevention and aim to help you improve your overall physical conditioning. Our goal is to guide you to learn and improve more effectively, and to achieve your short and long-term personal goals. This program is meant to keep you motivated for continuous learning and deeper understanding of the grappling art.

Features

Sharpen your vision

What distinguishes a top player from an average one is how skillfully the athlete can implement the movements, manage transitions, and quickly and precisely execute techniques. You will learn how to read movement patterns together with your opponent’s reactions in different grappling scenarios. By carefully analyzing the problems encountered in training, you will consistently harness your current skills and develop more advanced techniques.

Record your daily drills of particular technique, or provide clips of sparring or even competition. We will give overall analysis of your performance, identify mistakes and offer advice on what can be improved.

We will explain techniques and grappling sequences in depth, giving you clearer insight into your opponent’s likely reactions. This can give you a valuable advantage by always being slightly “ahead” of your opponent. We will also help you see the “bigger picture” with concepts and strategies that are the basis of effective Jiu-Jitsu.

Using the findings from our video analysis, we will develop a training program with specific goals tailored to your skill level, body type and grappling style. This program will amplify your strengths and replace your weak areas with effective tactics, making you a much better Jiu-Jitsu player.
A steady and healthy mindset plays an important part in our jiu jitsu training and even in competition. We need to train ourselves to be constantly aware of our mental status. We also need to find way to stay motivated in this time of uncertainties. 
We apply a problem-solving approach to link different positions and techniques. We will help you build a game that amplifies your strengths, addresses your weak areas, and help you become a more rounded and versatile Jiu-Jitsu player.
All techniques involve sets of movements. We prescribe solo and combined movement patterns to improve your proprioception and spatial awareness which will greatly benefit your body control in Jiu-Jitsu. 
 
We provide a complete and balanced bodyweight training plan to increase your body strength and overall fitness. An individualized plan that combines resistance movements with anaerobic and high intensity interval training will improve your endurance and stamina so you can confidently perform your Jiu-Jitsu skills even when under pressure.
Yoga is one of the rare balanced practices that complement your jiu jitsu training and make your training more sustainable. We will provide short clips of video that target a specific part of the body, which can be easily integrated into your daily routine. 
Most injuries can be prevented with proper positional awareness. We will help you understand when and how certain positions and grappling scenarios can lead to injuries and how to avoid them. We will provide you with guidance to train smarter and safer even with bigger and stronger training partners.

Mindful drills

Rather than robotic repetition, it is important to stay focused and to increase awareness of your body’s movement. Mindfulness helps the body to assimilate the techniques more effectively, then becoming smooth and fluid. As your mental focus improves, your reaction time will decrease when applying the techniques in sparring or competition. To achieve this, we will carefully guide you through effective drills, helping you understand the dynamics between the Tori/取り (executor) and the Uke/受け (receiver) in specific contexts.
"Ryan teaches in a way that is easy to understand and is clear in his instructions. His style of teaching is perfect for anyone who is serious about progressing in BJJ. I have trained at gyms in several countries but since I started working with Ryan, I feel my BJJ has improved faster and my understanding of the techniques has become more solid and useful. I was a coach and Physical Education teacher for many years. I know what good teaching looks like and that is why I can give Ryan my highest recommendation."

"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. In an one on one lesson we worked my open guard retention which as a 120kg guy was not great to start with but with professor's adjustments and advice I was able to make huge improvements in my guard retention particularly against smaller opponents attempting to use speed and mobility on the outside. Having trained at 4 different gyms since Pure Grappling I can honestly say the 6 weeks with professor Ryan stand out as some of my most impactful training. And of course I miss the fun rolls with someone half my size and 10x my skill."

"Ryan is a humble person who is full of passion and knowledge in Jiu-Jitsu. As a smaller Jiu-Jitsu player, he pays a lot of attention on details which help to improve one’s technique. His teaching is all -round, so no matter what aspect of the game (take down, passing or guards) you are trying to improve, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ryan."

"I've taken private lessons with a number of different instructors including one very high level black belt in the States. Professor Ryan's stood out to me for his focus on fundamentals and attention to detail. While I had initially expected him to rely on more speed and specific techniques, he shared a number of solid fundamentals that I still rely upon today. I'm also impressed by how relaxed Professor Ryan is when rolling, since my experience is that quite a number of high level BJJ people still rely on explosiveness and brute force. He is a clear example on how focus on fundamentals and technique really makes a difference in BJJ."

Sparring with intentions

One of the goals of sparring is to improve your reaction time and anticipate your opponent’s movements. It is common to see Jiu-Jitsu players looking for improvement through intense sparring. Hard sparring helps build stamina, but if the physical intensity is excessive then your mental awareness can suffer. As a result, you may not be able to recall what happened during the sparring. Alternatively, flow sparring with a controlled pace allows you to reserve physical energy, while observing the movements and reactions exchanged between you and your partner. This way you will become more aware of your mistakes and the holes in your game, allowing us to build a program to correct them.

3 Steps

Jiu-Jitsu Method

To optimize your learning and improve your training efficiency, we use a simple and effective 3-step method.

Step 1

Positioning

Learn the essential positions and movements before fully engaging with your opponent.

Step 2

Movements & Reactions

Understand your opponent’s predictable responses to your movements and techniques in a dynamic series of action-reaction scenarios.

Step 3

Deliberate Practice

 
Combine the first two steps and then drill for smoothness and precision.  Eventually, your execution will become instinctive, fast and natural.

Individualized Techniques

"The difference between Ryan and other world class instructors, is his ability to adjust different techniques for people with different body sizes and strengths for them to use efficiently. Most instructors might only be able to teach their signature techniques - when they are asked about other variations /tactics/possibilities of doing things differently - which they are not familiar with - they start to give explanation that might confuse people.
Ryan, a 58 kg Jiu-Jitsu technician, suffers from trial and error and misguidance like we all did. Thus he understands. Few instructors painstakingly look into most techniques and dissect them based on body mechanics. His greatest strength is his bird eye’s view. There are different roads to the peak- he is the guide who not only shows you all possible paths that might be suitable for you, but will walk with you towards the peak."
