## Overview

**Name:** Isaac Doederlein


## Bio

Isaac Doederlein was born on November 12, 1992, in Atlanta, Georgia – USA.

When Isaac was 11 years old his mother signed him into her church group’s judo program. Doederlein stuck to the course up until his 14th birthday when he moved to Arizona. In Arizona Isaac continued his grappling training, this time opting to join a jiu-jitsu academy.

Doederlein chose to be under the tutelage of the illustrious  Wellington Dias , one of the pioneers in the southwestern US state. At the Gracie Humaitá academy, Doederlein started competing in the sport, being successful from the get-go. His series of good results ultimately led Doederlein to a world title in 2010, two years after joining the team, while competing as a blue belt.

At the age of 18, Isaac found himself at a crossroads, unsure of what path to follow after finishing high school. After a visit to Los Angeles where he had the chance to train at  Rubens Charles ‘ academy, Doederlein decided he wanted to follow a career in grappling. Less than one month later he moved to Los Angeles where he joined Cobrinha’s gym, becoming in the process a full-time athlete.

Isaac arrived at Cobrinha’s Academy as a purple belt, earning his brown and black belt from Rubens Charles after amazing runs in both belts, becoming known as one of the top featherweight prospects in the world.
