VLOG: Yuri Simoes Collides With Next Generation Of Grapplers

Yuri Simoes has been coming to Austin, Texas to visit his long time friend and mentor Rodrigo Cabral since 2011. But while in town this year Yuri is keen to learn from the next generation of grappling stars that Rodrigo is currently training at the gym. 

Brazilian Fight Factory is the home to the Tackett bros, William, Andrew and Caleb, Combat JJ Champion Kody Steele, ADCC Trials Winner Casey Hellenberg and a handful of other hungry grapplers trying to make a name for themselves on the competition stage.

These young ADCC hopefuls get to pick the brain of an accomplished champion but surprisingly Yuri takes just as much from them as they do from him.

"Rodrigo has been a really good friend of mind for a long time.  He has a great team right now. I think they are the new generation and if you want to learn you have to train with the best."
