Kaynan Duarte is an Atos heavyweight under André Galvão with four ADCC golds across 2019, 2022, and 2024—including absolute at ADCC 2024—plus IBJJF Worlds titles in 2021 and 2022. His game mixes pressure passing with finishing urgency in both gi and no-gi.

A 2019 Worlds gold was later stripped after a USADA positive for ostarine. Technique readers can study knee-slide and body-lock passing alongside heel-hook pages for his modern heavyweight approach.
