3.1. No-Gi and Submission-Oriented Jiu-Jitsu

He first got his training from Miguel Benitez who boosted his confidence in Submission Wrestling. Gordon is best known for his No-Gi and submission-oriented jiu-jitsu, where he has defeated big fighters such as Romulo Barral, Alexandre Ribeiro, and Gabriel Arges. Soon after, he began training with the legendary fighter (former UFC fighter) Tom DeBlass at Ocean County Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy. He continued working and improving to get to an international level of skill.

3.2. Gordon’s Training with Garry Tanon

Gordon was introduced to Garry Tanon only a few months after starting his training. Gordon was a four-striped belt at the time and just recently received his brown belt but he was already being recognized as one of the sport’s brightest stars, as well as one of DeBlass’s most talented and successful students.

During their time together, Garry and Gordon became great friends. Gordon attended lessons at Gordon Brunswick’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy. Tanon would keep an eye on Gordon Ryan as he worked to perfect his successful submission-only strategy game.

3.3. Pursuance of a Professional Career

After becoming increasingly interested in the prospect of pursuing a full-time career in sport, Gordon Ryan traveled to New York with Tanon to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with one of his other mentors, John Danaher, the head coach of the infamous Renzo Gracie Academy. Training under Danaher, Gordon began to refine the Ashi Garami game that had proven so beneficial for the former students of Danaher.

Reported by Bloody Elbow, Gordon officially retired from competition in May 2021, explaining to his fans that he was unable to maintain a high level of training and performance due to his health. Gordon had been suffering from this condition for nearly four years when he announced his retirement.

In the middle of 2021,the Danaher Death Squad made an announcement that shocked the BJJ community. The team split up. John Danaher shared “A combination of factors revolving around disagreements in regards to the physical location of a future school, personality conflicts, conflicting values and an inevitable tension between the team brand and the growing individual brands of members were the main factors.
