[@tombeans2204]

When Nicky Ryan started talking about everything you can really tell just by the way Craig and Nicky Rod was looking at Nicky Ryan that they really look upon him as a younger brother. Getting the sense that Nicky Ryan has more then just 1 older brother here, which is beautiful.

[@pyrodaddy2854]

I knew these guys were serious but dropping out of school as a freshman for jiu jitsu that's insane.

[@Synthetic-Rabbit]

To most people, yes it seems insane but they must have known something others don't because look where are all at now... That's the type of drive and purpose most people don't have IMO (including myself).

[@Nixcb2]

What I don't get is he says he's so dedicated he dropped out of high school, but he won't even get an MRI for his knee? Seems weird to me.

[@smeff099]

I mean. I'd bet you Nicky is worth more now without highschool, than he would have been with the knowledge that Manet was a painter who died from syphilis.

[@smeff099]

​@@Nixcb2 he's dedicated to a fault. Nicky is highly developed in the grappling IQ, but not so much in the longevity aspect. That or he's flat broke and actually doesn't have the money to pay for the surgery (which has to be at least 4-5k)

[@healthwealth651]

@@Synthetic-Rabbit That’s irrelevant. No matter who you are education is important. He still needs to develop reading and writing skills, and you can’t do that as a dropout. Let’s say Nicky wants to write his own Jiu-Jitsu book, he can’t do that with less than a 9th grade writing ability. Learning is a lifelong endeavor, that’s why people like Kevin Garnett took college classes after signing a $126 million contract.

[@beaubellamy2999]

There’s a story within the story that has to be incredible. Sure DDS broke up and it’ll forever change ju jitsu but two brothers also split up. I’m as interested in the Ryan split.

[@dillonmalloy2123]

Exactly… I need to know the reason it’s gotta be some deep shit between them

[@jonoharper4729]

​@@dillonmalloy2123I doubt it's that deep tbh....it's simply the natural evolution of most brother relationships, when the younger brother matures and grows out of the shadow of the older brother, to become his "own man". Gordon has implied as much, and JD has said Nicky was sick of being bullied and dominated psychologically by GR.

[@urkput]

Gordon's a bully. He was likely getting overly aggressive in training.

[@launicamanera]

@@urkput if being bigger and better constitutes as overly aggressive. Sometimes the smaller brother just feels the need to make a decision to get out of the shadow and into his own light.

Rumors had it that one of the key issues for the split was due to splitting of the rent when big gord passed away. I’ve seen it was brought up many times in the past but it was something about the split of living expenses between those who were staying with Gordon Ryan that either created or added more issues for the team. I’m not saying it’s the truth, but I’ve heard about it more than once.

[@aidanlee8804]

@@drbray Cnl. Kurtz in the Film ‘Apocalypse Now’ was a colonel who went AWOL through PTSD & left the U.S. Military to start his own small army, formed of local, indigenous villagers and tribesmen. He goes on his own war, but his tribe doesn’t really side with the U.S. military or Vietcong. Basically he’s a nutcase broken by the evil actions made by the U.S. military and Vietcong respectively and decides himself to go on a rampage killing and torturing people against his tribe. Despite what I’m telling you; the film isn’t actually really about the Vietnam war at all and is more to do with good vs evil, genius vs insanity, it’s really worth a watch. Loosely based on Joseph Conrad’s heart of darkness but sent during the Vietnam war.

[@aidanlee8804]

@@drbray Definitely not lol. I mean what did they expect though John would be like? In all honesty though, it’s a weakness in John’s management skills. John alone could be a lot to blame for not being able to adapt his management style for different personalities. For people like Gordon and Meregali, who are both perfectionists and incredibly confident, John’s style is probably perfect. However, it’s not a one size fits all. Not everyone has bags of confidence and high self esteem. Some people need to be encouraged, some need to be humbled.

You kind of have to read in-between the lines. Craig says he left *with* Nicky/backed him. That plus some other interviews definitely makes it seems like it was something between him and Gordon. I doubt Danaher was really involved. Dude lives BJJ and it seems like he only acknowledges the drama insofar as he feels it will affect competitive performance. As for the what lit the conflict who knows… I feel like in the DDS you’re either super chill or have the social IQ of an insecure middle schooler.

[@OGG619]

@Kodiak Combat Collective are saying that B Team has increased Danaher’s rate of innovation? Maybe that was a typo in your comment. Either way, Danaher’s innovation is to leapfrog people’s training to reach a goal. Case in point, Bodoni and Meregali. Their quick improvement is in direct correlation to the way Danaher teaches. That is something I’m not seeing from the B team guys. Danaher said it himself that B team is still using his system so they don’t really need him, BUT they aren’t getting any new information from him, coaching, tactics, etc. So, I disagree with your opinion of my comment being myopic. And Danaher isn’t an infallible god…but currently he is the best Jiujitsu coach of this era. I doubt that can be disputed.

[@LuxApricity95]

I’m late to the party, but here’s my guess about what happened. If Gordon is even half as cocky on the training mats as he his on social media, he probably couldn’t handle Nicky Ryan getting good and stealing some of his thunder. He was so desperate to be the best that he was willing to shit on his own brother in the process. It’s cool that he won ADCC 3x in a row, but it’s truly unfortunate that his own brother wasn’t there to cheer him on. My brother and I are the same age gap as Nicky and Gordon, and I’d be devastated if my brother wasn’t in my corner. Gordon Ryan strikes me as someone who is financially successful, but it ends there.

[@justno984]

[@kakarossi4397]

The fact that Gordon's cocky persona has hurt your fragile ego to the point where you have to come up with these kinda bizzare explanations in order to attack his character is honestly pathetic.

Nicky Ryan using Craig as the "older brother" fill in

I hope the split is not as serious as we are lead on to believe, at least on a personal level. Nicky and Gordon shouldn't be falling out over this BS.

lex is such a toolbox.

Can't stand Lex unfortunately but good talk from B Team

Someone must bloody know! It's so annoying. It's got to involve a woman or big gord in some way. The split of the rent and alike isn't big enough to hate your brother. I know they're cooling now but there was hate present.

Gordon had told Big Gord about Nicky chasing ladyboys with Danaher in PR. It broke Big Gord’s heart. Gordon tried to set Nicky straight by having Sonny make him a man, but he got more than he bargained for. The damage had been done.
