Celebrating 14 years in San Diego
|
This week we're celebrating our 14th anniversary at the academy. I remember when I got to San Diego in 2010… We officially opened the gym in September. Great things happen to me in September. Maybe it’s because it’s my birthday month! I remember I used to teach only three times a week – Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday. In the beginning, there were like only ten people at the gym – not even that. Then little by little, we started increasing the number of students. The gym started really blowing up in 2011 after my Double Gold ADCC victory. That's when we started getting a LOT of members – first fifty, then sixty, then seventy, one hundred… We just kept growing and growing and growing. Today, Atos Headquarters has around 750 students training every day. Since the beginning our goal has always been to innovate Jiu-Jitsu and transform lives. We're changing people’s lives, impacting the community, and we're working to make sure that we develop the best system of Jiu-Jitsu. Atos HQ is a special place and I'm super happy and glad to celebrate our 14th anniversary. Oss, P.S.

Do you know the story behind the origins of modern Jiu-Jitsu? The legend goes that Hélio Gracie – the man who created the system of Jiu-Jitsu we train today – suffered a lot of illnesses when he was young. This made training more difficult for Hélio than for his brothers. He spent much of his time watching his brother Carlos teach. But he couldn’t train at the same intensity. One day Carlos didn’t show up for class at the expected time. So Carlos’s students were left waiting for him to show...
Kade Ruotolo VS. Andrew Tackett was the most exciting match at CJI. Maybe even the most exciting Jiu-Jitsu match of all time. There are so many comments online of people saying that if they had to introduce their friends to Jiu-Jitsu, THIS would be the one video they would show them. So I wanted to dive deeper into one really incredible moment from the match. (Actually, I’ve been doing this for a few of the best fights from Team Atos on our online platform. See my "P.S.") This was the moment...
In recent weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about Atos and what it means. I wanted to write a short manifesto – to get my thoughts down in writing and to share them with you guys. You see, I originally chose the name Atos because it’s the Portuguese word for “Acts” which specifically references the “Book of Acts” in the Bible: “God can do amazing things through ordinary people, when He empowers them through His Spirit.” Of course, my Faith will always be tied together with my life’s work. But...
