There’s been so much excitement around the Ruotolos for the past few days…

I wanted to share this incredible post-ADCC interview we did with Kade at Atos HQ after he won ADCC in 2022.

He had the craziest bracket that year…

Kade became the youngest ADCC champ by beating Lachlan Giles, Roberto Jimenez, PJ Barch and Mica Galvao…

Winning ALL four fights by submission 👀

Most Jiu-Jitsu students will agree… The fastest way to improve your BJJ is to prepare for a competition. It’s not just what you take from the competition itself (although you’re likely to learn a lot about yourself, your ability to handle pressure, and the effectiveness of your Jiu-Jitsu)... It also helps bring focus to your training sessions. After all, it’s SO important to set goals if you want to be successful – this relates to every aspect of your life!
