His way of coaching is one of the best in the game, no useless words, just techniques
Great addition to the game
Great stuff! I'd love to see Nicky Ryan come out with more instructionals
I found Nicky Ryan’s instructional really useful, especially for improving my guard retention. It also covers positions like butterfly guard and the dogfight, which were gaps in my game. Short, clear, and very practical.
Really good
Great technique show. By Nicky. Would have loved some more reps and from different angles to make the teaching more memorable
Goood
Very good explanation and breakdown of the techniques, it should be compulsory for people that can't wrestle and only pull guard 😊
Good
Great video, but a little advanced for me. By the next belt, I’ll be able to apply these lessons
One of my favorite instructional on wrestling up.
Implementing techniques straight away. I was having trouble with people not engaging with my seated guard but now I’m be taking them down. Nicky explains the technique perfectly.
Great
A really thorough and well thought out system for wrestling up from guard
