Last Friday, I arrived in Brazil with some students from Atos HQ for the Brazilian Nationals:
The Championship has just started, and already we’ve had some huge wins.
First up were two of our Juvenile girls.
2024 Pan and European Champion Alexa Herse kept her winning streak going, bringing back Double Gold on Saturday 🥇🥇
Dania Silva – another Pan and European Champion – took home a Bronze medal 🥉 in the Juvenile 1 Middleweight Division and a Silver medal 🥈 in the Open Class.
On Sunday, it was Emily Leyva’s turn to shine.
Emily won Double Gold at Pan 2024 and is also the 2024 European Champion. She fought so many super tough opponents (many of them previous Champions) this weekend…
But she won almost all her fights by submission to take home Gold in the light featherweight division🥇 She then came third in the absolute 🥉 This is even more impressive considering her weight division!
Everyone loves to watch Emily compete. She puts so much heart into her matches, fights so hard, and gives a show every time. She’s a warrior ⚔️
(Emily is now only one step away from a Grand Slam this year)
We’re so so proud of all these incredible girls.
Today, Jared Wade will be fighting in the Blue Belt Division.
Then, on Wednesday, my daughter Sarah Galvao competes alongside her training partner, Lilly Marchand, in the Purple Belt Division.
My Master Two Purple Belt Double Gold European and Pan Champion Andre Leshovsky competes on Thursday.
And finally, my Black Belts Rolando Samson and Andy Murasaki will be competing this weekend.
The best way to keep up to date with these results (and to also see the highlight finishes 🤩) is to follow the Atos BJJ On Demand Instagram Page.
(You can also see the incredible performances from our athletes – many of them from our kids program – at the IBJJF Orange County Open at the weekend!)
All these results wouldn’t be possible without the training systems we’ve been implementing at Atos HQ over the past years.
We’ve been making these training systems available to subscribers of Atos BJJ On Demand through the Weekly Series we publish on the site.
You can get full access to these systems by signing up today from just $24.99/month:
