Ryan Hall 50/50 Guard

Here is Ryan teaching moves in one of his favourite positions, 50/50 guard. This reciprocal style of guard is one of the hottest topics in BJJ at the minute and has lead to many stalled matches and log jams where neither grappler seeks to improve their position. See Mendes v Cobrinha below as a recent example. In this clip Ryan teaches heel hooks from this spot, this submission is allowed in the ADCC event this weekend, in which Ryan is competing, but not in standard BJJ competitions. Please take the time to watch the other preview videos on youtube from this instructional set, there is gold to be found in them. He may blink alot but he knows his stuff and articulates it exceptionally well.
