JT Torres Plans To 'Do Some Damage' In Stacked ADCC 77kg Division

JT Torres Plans To 'Do Some Damage' At ADCC

We caught up with JT Torres in Las Vegas. Right now the Atos black belt is prepping for ADCC, which goes down on Sept 23-24 in Finland. He was invited to compete in the 77kg division. 

With his injuries fully healed and his new East Coast academy up and running, Torres is fully focused on ADCC. He's been training with top wrestlers and no-gi specialists in the New York area, and will spend a week in San Diego back at Atos HQ to sharpen the weapons before his makes the trip to Finland. 

While most people believe the 88kg division is the "group of death", Torres reminds people not to overlook the 77kg category where he says he plans to "do some damage". 

We have very good wrestling on the East Coast, very strong, and people love leg locks here on the East Coast, so I have good guys going for them on me all day getting me ready for that aspect too. Training has been amazing.
