Andre Galvao

Back in February we reported that Atos Jiu-Jitsu was going to open a new school in San Diego. It appears lots are folks are wondering when or if Andre Galvao will be leading the school.

The answer is: yes.

We spoke with Brian Perry of Atos San Diego today, who confirmed that Galvao will be coming to lead the school shortly after his MMA fight on August 21st. Galvao will be leading classes and offering privates and seminars. Anyone who would like more information can contact Brian at atosbjj@yahoo.com.

Ramon Lemos, another leader of Atos Jiu-Jitsu, has been in Los Angeles helping prepare Anderson Silva for his recent victory against Chael Sonnen. Lemos will be returning to Brazil soon.

Atos Jiu-Jitsu’s Gilbert “Durinho” Burns will be offering a jiu-jitsu seminar from 11am to 1pm. He won the bronze medal at the 2010 BJJ World Championships just a few weeks ago in Long Beach, California.

Cost: $60

Less than one week after we feature a story about Gracie Competition Team in San Diego, and the city’s seemingly endless capacity for high-end jiu-jitsu schools, Kid Peligro breaks the news that Atos Jiu-Jitsu has moved to America’s Finest City as well.

Remember that Atos BJJ is known for Andre Galvao, Rafael and Guilherme Mendes, and several more of the hottest names in jiu-jitsu today. I will follow up with more news on this soon.

Oh and did I mention that Atos’ new location is 0.6 miles from Gracie Competition team? For those who are not aware of the density of Brazilian jiu-jitsu in San Diego already, here’s a map of schools in the city.
