Just brutal. Hate to be the one to say this, because I think Ryan is a good human being, but he should retire from MMA imo.
Dude has been injured more than Cain, Dom, and TJ combined.
Definitely not worth the small paydays I'm sure he's been receiving, plus he's not exactly a spring chicken.
Yeah, see I'm not going to just take your word for it. I don't know you, I don't know your motives. I know Ryan Hall better than I know you. You can't just say things without posting evidence and expect strangers to just believe you. Sources doesn't = you just saying "I know people."I have lots of sources. First-hand accounts of what went on there. I've trained with LOTS of people that left his school for these very reasons. One of my very best friends and training partners, in fact.
Naming names wouldn't matter because none of you are gonna know who they are. And, on the off chance that someone did know them, I obviously can't betray their trust.
I probably shouldn't have even said anything, tbh. But I just get sick when I see people buy into his schtick.
That's why I amended and said I shouldn't have brought it up. Poor judgement on my part.Yeah, see I'm not going to just take your word for it. I don't know you, I don't know your motives.

Sources would be links of written accounts, videos, etc.
You don't have those, I have 0 reason to believe anything you say on the matter.
That’s a big problem too, I don’t see many gyms really give a shit about safety or longevity for the most part… gym owners just want to take people’s money, if that means having some 250 lbs. white belt jump into people’s guards like an idiot so be it lol.It's bloated with meat head bro types that want to make it a damn fight or spaz white belts. I suppose it depends on the gym too.
No they have to be the most exciting fucking grapplers of all time for people to like them lol.It's not really about grappling, it's how they use their grappling. Look at Khabib and Islam, they have a lot of fans. Look at Khamzat, he has a lot of hype right now and they are all grappling based fighters. Grapplers just have to understand that it isn't a grappling competition, it's a fight. They have to use their grappling to do damage or get the finish, it can't be like grappling competitions where they are stalled out not really doing anything to run the clock out to avoid taking risks during certain positions. MMA is fight focused, grapplers have to adjust their style to be more damage/finish orientated.
People throw that “sociopath” term around way too loosely these days. It’s fucked up.He's an abusive sociopath.
He portrays himself as this dorky, loveable, shrugging underdog, but he's actually a really unstable and violent person. The exodus of people that have left his gym is similar to that of Lloyd Irvin. There are people all over the country that would corroborate to his sociopathy. Really disappointing behavior and attitude from a person in his position.
I always cringe when I see people posting of Sherdog about what a good dude he "seems" like.
He's not.
Trust me.

I'm just being blunt and honest. You can't be expected to be believed without evidence.That's why I amended and said I shouldn't have brought it up. Poor judgement on my part.
But you don't have to be a fucking dick about it.
If you wanna keep liking Ryan Hall, then you two probably deserve each other.
I agree!! But as a psychologist, I feel pretty comfortable using it.People throw that “sociopath” term around way too loosely these days. It’s fucked up.
So since you’re a psychologist you can diagnose people you don’t know because you have heard stories about them from people?I agree!! But as a psychologist, I feel pretty comfortable using it.
Throw OCD and Depression in that mix as well.
Not saying this is for sure the case.I'm just being blunt and honest. You can't be expected to be believed without evidence.

The fact you’re a psychologist, and try to use that as an argument from authority makes it worse.
Not to mention, if this guy actually is a psychologist (press x for doubt) it's extremely unethical to be talking about people's mental health issues so willy nilly like that.Not saying this is for sure the case.
But a lot of people who on some level know their reasoning is questionable at best love using the “I have all this evidence but can’t tell you what it is” argument. That way you can’t really deny what they’re saying.
There are a lot of guys in BJJ who get big egos, and a bit of a god complex from being the head of a gym and getting all this praise for so long. If he left it at that it would be believable, accusing someone of being a sociopath without any reasoning is just fucked up IMO. It’s an anonymous Internet forum, but people read this shit, you shouldn’t besmirch someone’s name with something that serious unless you’re absolutely positive which he obviously isn’t.
Im fine with most criticism, but sociopath is close to the worst thing you can be labeled, I really hate how often that gets thrown at people in the spotlight over often small character flaws.
Does he have that smarmy look when he climaxes too? I don't think I've ever seen him without it.
You tNot saying this is for sure the case.

So if your best friend was abused, you wouldn't believe him if you didn't see it yourself?Not saying this is for sure the case.

Yeah, you and your pal obviously have it all figured out. Clearly I'm out of my element here. Sorry I brought any of it up.Not to mention, if this guy actually is a psychologist (press x for doubt) it's extremely unethical to be talking about people's mental health issues so willy nilly like that.
45 second*That guy is built like me and If I did MMA for one five minute round it's game over bro lol
