Are The Ruotolo Bros On Track To Be Among The Greatest Of All Time?

You may remember Tye and Kade Ruotolo as the adorable orange belts who barely fit in their baggy Shoyoroll gis with great big smiles. But now at 16 years old, they may be unrecognizable. The once innocuous-looking children have traded in their billowing kimonos for shorts, a rash guard, and a mean submission-focused style that is shaking up the jiu-jitsu scene.

ADCC 2019: Who Was The Best Team?

After the 2019 ADCC World Championships a question that I’ve heard often discussed is who was the most successful team at the event? With no official team scores like most tournaments, this question is up in the air and the debate could go either way depending which subjective criteria you value the most. Does Gordon’s double gold performance for Renzo Gracie outweight three weight class titles for Atos? Does the submission rate of the Renzo athletes compared to the Atos squad give them the nod?

ADCC 2019 Point-Scoring Analysis

The ADCC World Championships completely changes the strategies utilized by no-gi athletes the world over. ADCC is the highest level for no-gi competition; what works there gets studied, analyzed, and broken down until it is the standard gameplan for the next two years. The different ruleset at ADCC makes it harder to strategize for than most tournaments, with a no points period taking up the first half and the rules changing to a points match halfway through.
