Why Choke Trainer?
The Choke Trainer was developed as an indispensable tool for martial arts professionals seeking to refine their rear naked choke technique. Recognizing the importance of realistic and effective training, this device offers a practical and adjustable solution. Its design incorporates adjustable tension to simulate real-life scenarios, allowing practitioners to hone their skills and improve their ground game with precision. By providing a reliable means for martial artists to practice and perfect their chokeholds in a controlled environment, the Choke Trainer contributes significantly to enhancing the proficiency and effectiveness of this fundamental self-defense technique.
Ryan Reed
My name is Ryan Reed and I have trained world champions in Jiu-Jitsu, several champion MMA fighters, and I have competed professionally myself. I now own a Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Huntsville, TX called Gracie Humaita Huntsville. My motivation for what I do is I believe it is our job to leave the world a better place for our children. I try to do this by serving my community as a firefighter and by teaching martial arts.
Phil Riggs
My name is Phil Riggs and I started Jiu-Jitsu later in life than most. In 2019, at the age of 55 I was falling into the status quo of todays society, being out of shape and overweight. I needed a change and found Jiu-Jitsu. Losing over 40lbs and getting my strength back while becoming a new person. It was during this time that I met Ryan Reed and we quickly became friends. I founded Gracie Humaita Huntsville in 2021, and asked Ryan to become my Partner in 2022.
I enjoy the daily grind, camaraderie and competition involved in Jiu-Jitsu. I recently competed and won gold at the Blue Belt level in 2023 at the largest Jiu-Jitsu event in history, The IBJJF World Masters, held annually in Las Vegas Nevada.
My motivation is like Ryan’s. I believe we must set the example for everyone we encounter. It is my job to be a positive influence to my family and colleagues and to strive as Professor Ryan says, “to be better than yesterday.”
