Nicky Ryan is a 16 year old purple belt – he’s also an ADCC vet and the next opponent of 10th Planet flag bearer Geo Martinez.

Ryan recently talked up his match and what he’s been working on. It might not surprise you it’s a lot about entries such as this one:

This is an entry that’s worked on an ADCC victor after all.

Ryan is prepping for Geo alongside ADCC stand out Craig Jones.

Globetrotting grappler: One of my favorite people in professional grappling is Aussie superstar, Craig Jones. This remarkable young man travels the world for competition, seminars and training. He is a great example of the martial arts ideal of a killer on the mat, but an absolute gentleman off the mat. I had a great time teaching in Australia last time visiting family and had a great experience at Mr Jones’ gym, @absolutemmamelb in Melbourne, so whenever Mr Jones is in town I always like to return the favor. Today he had some great training sessions with young Nicky Ryan. Both Athletes are getting ready for the upcoming @kasaigrappling show in NYC in two weeks- prior to that Mr Jones will fly to Japan to compete and then back to NYC! I don’t know anyone who travels so far so often as this man! Here, Messrs Jones and Ryan relax after working their half guard leg lock entries and sparring rounds.
