Cole Abate is a professional grappler and a jiu-jitsu specialist who trains under Guilherme Mendes and represents team Art Of Jiu-Jitsu (AOJ) in the sport’s international circuit. Abate, commonly referred to as “Ice Cole” first made waves in the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) circuit while competing in the junior and juvenile divisions where he conquered numerous important titles, but it was his winning performance at the ADCC East Coast Trials (pro-division) – one of the biggest no-gi tournaments in the world – as a 16-year-old blue belt that gained the recognition of the mainstream audience.
