I was at 50/50 awhile back and Ryan, as was the whole academy, was very welcoming and helpful. Being a very low level bluebelt though - I was schooled most days.
He was training in San Jose with Caio and Felipe for a while. I was lucky enough to get to roll with him one time.
i rolled with him on my first night at the 50/50 academy...was awesome but I felt helpless and he could have squished me at any time. He offered some pointers that I've used to pass guard.
