So whats the deal with Ryan Hall?

[fourfif**]

He has Tourette's Syndrome.

That really makes it all the more impressive.

Somebody needs to get the movie rights to this, lol. Might seem like hyberbole but it really is remarkable.

I guess blinking your eyes uncontrollably is not that bad in the scheme of possible tourette's symptoms...

His triangle DVD will totally change how you do your triangle.

I would even go further and say it totally changed my entire no-gi closed guard game. The second DVD in this set gave me so many "oh shit, I've been doing that all wrong" moments it made my head spin.

He may not be the best player in the world at any individual aspect of the game, but he is certainly the most eloquent and scientific. And that's why he's acquired this massive fan base.

The craziest thing is that at his gym, with he and his people, I was never put in closed guard & I also could never get a closed guard on anyone. Those cats are something else man.

I think him being an American helps a lot with the fan base too.
