Meet Vlad: Episode 2 of Road to Euros 2025
Welcome back to the Road to Euros 2025! In this week’s episode, we dive into triangles, the closed guard, and a special twist on the classic hip bump sweep. If you’ve only learned the traditional version, check this out—this one can really surprise your opponent.
This time, we’re featuring Vlad. He likes to joke that he’s a “professional fighter” because he recently got paid for a grappling superfight. But behind the humor is a competitor who takes the sport seriously.
Vlad shares his mindset for competition and his goals for this season. The guys share some Kung Fu Panda quotes and at the end of the episode, we put Vlad’s forearm strength to the test. He’s been training them for two years now, and the results of the challenge will surprise you.
Watch Episode 2 on YouTube to catch all the action, learn some new techniques, and see Vlad in his element. Don’t forget to let us know your favorite moment in the comments, and stay tuned for next week’s episode, where we’ll introduce another member of the team!
