The Rutolo brothers have been two of the best rising stars in the jiujitsu circuit in recent years, with the teenage twins Kade and Tye regularly beating adult black belts even as blue and purple belts. Fresh off being promoted to brown belt by BJJ great Andre Galvao last October, Kade Ruotolo shined at the 2020 Combat Jiujitsu World Championships.
Not only did the juvenile jiujitsu star beat a field of 16 grown men, he also landed an impressive and rare choke in the finals.
Ruotolo beat Laird Anderson, Danny Collazo and Jordan Holy to start the tournament.
