The Ozzy Upstate BJJ Montage



Ryan Clark is currently a brown belt under Steve Kardian (Black belt from Phil Migliarese) and Rob Kahn (Black belt from Legendary UFC Fighter Royce Gracie)./projects/1/3/4/9/1349703/images/edit_ryan_copy.jpg

Ryan Spent his college years training at the first Gracie Academy in the Northeast which was established in 1994.  At the academy Ryan was exposed to the proper way of teaching Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at seminars put on by Erik Paulson, Phil Migliarese, Royler Gracie and even Royce Gracie. In order to stay on top of his game Ryan frequently heads back to his roots and trains with top level black belts, something that most people do not have the privilege of doing. The Jiu-Jitsu classes are held 7 days a week where the basis is to work on submission grappling and ground combat skills.

Ryan has been teaching BJJ for the past 5 years and in November 2007 Upstate BJJ was formed. Upstate BJJ currently has an active BJJ and MMA team which has its fair share of undefeated fighters. Ryan welcomes any and all disciplines to come into either the Rotterdam or the Cohoes facility to see firsthand why Upstate BJJ is becoming one of upstate NY’s fastest growing BJJ /MMA Schools.
