Yuri Simoes

Yuri Simoes was introduced to BJJ by his father at the early age of 9 years old. One of his earliest and most formative instructors was Mauricio Behring who inspired the competitive spirit in the young Yuri early on. When Behring was tragically murdered in 2006, Yuri worked through his grief at the loss of his teacher and mentor and thankfully continued to train BJJ under Ricardo Vieira where he would earn his purple and brown belts and continue developing his competitive prowess. After a brief stint at Atos, Yuri would remain with Checkmat under Vieira until 2013 when he made the move to Caio Terra’s association where he finds his home today.

Notable Techniques

Yuri Simoes is one of the top Gi and No Gi competitors in the world today. He has battled back from injuries in recent years to have epic matches against the best in the jiu jitsu world as well as a judo Olympian in Travis Stevens.

In the pass instructional video, Yuri displays his patented top pressure game to control the hips of the opponent. He defeats all of the standard defenses that the opponent offers by not moving forward, but instead moving around the defenses, keeping the knees tied up and smashed.
