[@soundtorial4567]

that beltgrip backtake was soooo slick

[@ericsynatschk5459]

Happens at 1:23

[@ShanghaiBJJ]

Tried it yesterday and it was a surprisingly natural movement. And I am an older guy. Pulled it off twice in sparring and got at least one hook in.

Met Cole and his dad in Nashville. Total class act and one of the most respectful people in the BJJ community. Raised right!

[@OnlyDoubleP]

Been watching him since he was a bluebelt and it’s so well deserved! Osssss!!!!

[@The_King_sent_me]

It’s incredible to see an accomplished young man like Cole show such humility and gratitude. I’ve had a brown belt for almost two years. I have huge respect for his hard work, determination, and mindset. God bless you Cole! 🙏🏻

[@nogimike]

Congrats to Cole and the rest of the team at AOJ. They're great ambassadors for the art

[@tp5x]

Such skill but Cole's cardio is nuts. Non-stop pace and not even breathing heavy.

[@lke6231]

The wonders of Jesus and açaí

[@arrow_head24]

This dudes mentality in life is black belt. Wow

[@athospaiva5969]

Muito bom, sinistro demais.
Acompanho esse mlk desde a faixa azul e sabia que ia chegar na preta fortíssimo. AOJ School é simplesmente o Jiu-Jitsu mais bonito que eu já vi!

[@wisdomuplifts8859]

The break dance back take was so cool. Wow, congratulations.

[@medic3239]

How you guys ain’t. Give this artist credit smh you use his music but give no respect

[@organic506]

that back take will be on mind for some time...

[@marcusweaver9728]

I know it’s age restricted, but damn it’s about time 😂….can’t wait to see him stack those black belt titles

[@bigrambizzy]

[@manuelhernandez0034]

What a class act. Mature beyond his years.

His BJJ is so impressive but what stood out the most was his reaction to being promoted & how he responded. Humility & Passion are the things I saw the most. What a great example for your school. I’m a blue belt with 3 kids training BJJ. I think any parent would be thrilled to have their kids react in the same fashion. Congrats and God Bless >

[@cryptostormer2512]

Man had me choking up. Well done God bless.

[@MyDk2009]

Was his first opponent a black belt? I'm looking into starting BJJ and I didn't know brown belts compete against the higher belt level

[@tim30006]

His first opponent is a brown belt. Yeah, you can compete against upper belts.

[@MyDk2009]
