Kade Ruotolo vs Natan Chueng | 2024 IBJJF Absolute No-Gi Grand Prix

[@jnwoodard8764]

The gi changes everything. It really slows down your game. Kade still did an amazing job and Chueng’s guard retention is fantastic.

[@joshhardy5646]

I feel that’s why no gi has gained so much popularity. All the wrestlers and gi haters love the fluidity and spazzed out movement of no gi

[@astrosherlock374]

@@joshhardy5646 I wanna see what an Olympic Judoka would end up doing within the Gi with some knowledge of leg locks because there takedowns in the Gi are simply next level with a decent bit of newaza focus.

[@Rip_Ripple]

​@astrosherlock374 one of the guys I train with is a Judoka. Been doing it for over 40 years. His grip strength is next level. Once he has your lapel, you aren't getting it back. He's not bad on the ground either. His knee bars come from nowhere. 😂😂😂😂

[@emanuelen7799]

i was on the edge of my seat for the entire match... i feared Kade was gonna get swept with all the grips that Chueng had but instead he put on a show. Great competitor, always a pleasure to watch!

[@JamesIanGilliam]

8:30 super clever way to clear the hand to make way for the single leg!

[@nimnogaparus]

I missed that, so smooth

[@captiantoastytm6436]

I replayed that like 5 times, will be bringing that to class tomorrow.

[@douglasrocha5309]

It's easy to judge from the couch, but against a guy like Ruotolo, Nathan should have sensed something was up after that head move and let go the right hand.

[@stefsmith47]

Thanks bro i missed that!!

[@BigDog357]

Kade is so entertaining, I love watching his matches.

[@chillbro2275]

:D yeah it was my first time seeing these two. BJJ seems so hard to win though. but this was fun to watch.

[@joselfut]

Kade one, of the the most the most crazy fighters out there, crazy match as always...

[@cadelever4255]

Most exciting with Ty and Mica in the world. BJJ is in a good spot with these 3 putting the shows on.

[@michaelhall3343]

No-Gi has really changed in the last few weeks that I've been away

[@kingwilly8041]

Apparently no-gi really means gi now.

[@daniela-castro]

Fr now they putting spa suits on

[@irockuroll60]

Haha. Thats the first thing I noticed and thought I was going crazy for a minute

[@chillbro2275]

Why do they call it "No-Gi" if they are wearing gis?

[@Theblackprogressive1911]

Incredible, love seeing wrestling in the Gi

[@AndreCruzXampa]

Parabéns Natan !!!! Animal !!! PRa cima sempre.

[@gocasimiro]

Kade estilo muito legal de se assistir e Natan guerreiro brabo, lutão!

[@tiagovieira2475]

Chueng sua hora vai chegar! há tempo para todas as coisas! OSS

[@ctatrains]

Nice that you explain what some of this stuff in these maps actually means instead of just circling squares and assuming everybody already knows. Kudos. I'm actually learning some things here.

[@user-uk9er5vw4c]

this was a very technical match. Both were impressive

[@kommisar.]

Whenever the Ruotolos compete I just think "chaos". This match was no exception.

[@orlandogarcia1036]

Natan showed an amazing use of the guard.

[@reddragonofwar7626]

Kade is extremely inspirational 💯

[@L.P.84]

Parabéns aos dois! Gostei muito da guarda do Chueng !

[@sharkamov]

*Kade's twists & turns at the final part of the match was simply **_legend_** [and goes to show his enormous potential!] though Natan proved to be a worthy opponent all the way through! . . .*

[@ThievesInTheTreasureRoom]

Kade knows how to bring the fight. Beautiful takedown.

[@3YangBros]

Kade is young and incredible tech. 👍

[@DoodleHats]

how you sweep a guy thats as dynamic on his hands as his feet lol kade is insane

[@ezequielcavazos6252]

The “new” way to play gi !!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@todd_horne]

What an exciting match! 🙌🏽

[@nunya5027]

Love the no gi content keep up good work FLO

[@augustonunes4638]

Routolo is a showman.

[@dcDOC19]

Never a dull moment when Kade is fighting…

[@Boatyarddog]

That was thee most boring match i have seen for quite a while.

[@yacinebenbrahim8175]

Super beau combat. Bravo 👏

[@jaimedelgado7529]

Loving these "no gi" matches as the title says

[@michaelgaetani6256]

Really impossible not to like Kade and Tye. Unique style and always fun to 2atch.

[@jimmyjam86]

Keep going boys. Please stay healthy. We love you for that! I wanna see the Ruotolo boys in the Olympics

[@DavidClason]

In the Olympics for what?

[@jojojojo6253]

Which olympic

[@User-54631]

In a gi they already have judo and no gi they have wrestling so I dunno if jiu jitsu will ever make it

[@jimmyjam86]

@@User-54631 not with that attitude

[@israelCommitsGenocide]

Olympics doesnt matter anymore its been destroyed by the self proclaimed elites.

[@bmxrider8188]

Kade putting on another incredible performance. Put some respect on his name🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Mattiis2k]

Cant say he didnt try to pass the guard :D

[@arthurgoncalves694]

A dinâmica de guarda do Chueng lembra muito a do Lo! Parabéns aos dois!

[@rodrigoandrade988]

Kade é brabo , gostaria de ver ele fazendo jogo de guarda tbm , porém no kimono ele ainda está muito crú!!

[@Justin-ed5xu]

I think Kade’s hair makes his matches that much more exciting 🤣

Capoeira e jiu-jitsu brasileiro combinação perfeita ❤

kade is amazing

[@sunshine-nk9sv]

Great match guys, very entertaining!

[@andrericardodelimacabral6241]

Um grande exemplo que essa Assembleia Legislativa deu. Lamento os 4 votos contrários. Mas esperar o que dessas quatro pessoas. Adoram e defendem um larápio.

[@pedropauloduart]

Torço muito pro Nathan, típico guerreiro brasileiro......ele chega sempre mas não vence isso que é foda

[@ciprianodeborba4644]

Ele é muito guerreiro...só pega os monstros kkkkkk.

[@marklayne1781]

Said Natan had a great guard, and he's an animal. Takes him down easily.

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

...and then never passes the guard. Kade literally spazzed his way into a takedown and then flailed uselessly against a guard he had no answer to. Just like CJI finals.

[@joaogabrieldacunhavasconce1703]

Always good to see Kade's fights

[@Euthymia2020]

Him and mica are ones I’ve been keeping an eye on. Finally new movements and ideas in a world that’s feels stale As hell. He’s American which makes me root for him more and his fluidity and modern style movement makes a fan of the sport big time.

[@SubFlow22]

Technical guard, technical sweeps, fun to watch.

[@Nick_Tank]

Finally some hype uploads

[@locobass]

so much fun to watch Kade.

[@JesusFreekJiuJitsu]

Kade is so dynamic, but you can tell he hasn’t been as focused on his gi game. While he’s very dynamic, he’s not as sharp as he could be.

[@HorribleMuttonChops]

Apparently so dynamic he can change from a he to a she

[@x3frankV]

The pace is just overwhelming for anyone not ready for speed!

[@nosajiujitsu]

Kade is so good .... Natan did well too!!!

[@Fallout-pv5lr]

As a judoka, it’s weird to see them not get stood up and asked to neaten up their gi’s but honestly I’m conflicted. On one hand they should be stood up and asked to do their belt and such as it would make things more fair from a gi stand point; they have the same gi setup. On the other hand I kinda like the idea of not having them stood up to fix their gi’s as this would ruin the flow of the fight and some people might intentionally pull their gi out to get out of a bad situation maybe. Lotta things to consider and a fantastic fight nonetheless. Never really liked ground work before I watched this but honestly I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and, even though I’m terrible on the ground, I was still able to appreciate the intricacies of what each player was trying to do. Fantastic work, can’t wait to see where the IBJJF goes in years to come.

[@DUARTE99]

Excellent match.
