History
editIn October 2008, after the decline of Brasa Academy, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu team to which they both belonged, Ramon Lemos and André Galvão decided to form a competition team with a strong moral foundation based on their Christian faith.[3] The word "Atos" is the Portuguese word for "acts" and is a reference the New Testament Acts of the Apostles.[3] Atos Jiu-Jitsu was established in Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil before moving to California in 2010.[2] The team led by multi-time world champion Galvão, quickly grew into one of the strongest teams in Jiu-Jitsu & submission grappling, winning quickly after its establishment 5 black belt World Jiu-Jitsu Championships and producing multiple champion athletes over the years.[1]
