Hall was with Valerie Worthington, where they were giving a demo to some students. Worthington was showing the students how to get out of a guillotine choke that Ryan was performing on him.

‘So again he goes for the guillotine, I come to my toes, I grab his opposite shoulder blade, this hand grabs for his neck, I’m sorry- grabs for the arm that is around my neck, and I turn my head to then looking at his shoulder blades and I’m up on my toes and I can drop my head a little bit.”
