Nicky Ryan Seminar – Amsterdam Recap (October 25)

On October 25, we hosted Nicky Ryan at El Otmani Gym in Amsterdam — and the turnout was incredible. The mats were packed, the energy was high, and everyone came ready to learn.

Nicky focused on wrestle-ups, showing how to create off-balances, connect to the legs, and finish cleanly without losing position. His clear instruction and openness to questions made the session both technical and easy to follow.

For the VIP group, he added a deep dive into body-lock passing — covering safe entries, tight control, and pressure-based finishes that work at every level.

After the seminar, Nicky stayed back to chat, answer questions, and share personal insights — wrapping up another great stop on the 2025 European Tour.
