Ryan Ford, Host of the Grappling Central Podcast, www.grapplingcentral.com
Ryan’s parents got him involved with martial arts as a child after his obsession with The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had him throwing kicks and breaking things in the apartment. He continued practicing Tae Kwon Do as a kid and got into boxing as a teenager. As a kid in the early 90’s, he watched the original UFC VHS tapes with his father and was fascinated by Royce Gracie and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. But it wasn’t until he was 20 years old and had outgrown The Ninja Turtles (slightly) that he began his training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It quickly became his life’s passion and he has since been exposed to some of the very best instructors in the world.
He began his training in 2005 under Pedro Sauer black belt Eddie Camden, later moving on to learn under legendary coral belt Romero “Jacare” Cavalcanti at Alliance Headquarters in Atlanta. While at Alliance HQ, he also had the privilege to learn from Master Jacare’s former assistant and world champion Lucas Lepri. After recently moving further north of Atlanta with his wife, Ryan now trains under Renzo Gracie black belt and UFC veteran Paul Creighton. During his 10 year journey (With a few breaks) Ryan has been fortunate enough to train all over the US and in Brazil. His wide exposure to different academies and styles has given him a very open-minded outlook on Jiu-Jitsu and grappling as a whole, and a great disdain for politics and divisive thinking within the Jiu-Jitsu and grappling community. Whether it is Gi or No-Gi, sport or self defense, Judo, Wrestling or Sambo, Ryan loves it all!
