Rylan Lizares is one of the more decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) practicioners to come out of Hawaii. Born in Hawaii and having spent some years in the pacific north-west and having been involved in wrestling and BJJ for a lot of years now, Rylan has racked up quite the impressive resumé.

 

Rylan is a brown belt under legendary Pedro Sauer and teaches out of ICON Fitness as well as his own academy; BJJTechnics , located on the island of Oahu.

 

Anyone lucky enough to get to train and learn from Rylan knows firsthand the incredible dedication and love he has for the sport and his very practical and thorough approach to instruction.

 

He is a rare find and RAZE is very lucky to have him as a part of the family. He represents everything that we admire and look for in someone to represent our little family and we look forward to all that the future has in store together.

 

The following is the rather lengthy list of Rylan’s accomplishments (a list we expect to have to add to frequently)…
