My daughter, the Black Belt ❤️


Just back from Worlds, where Team Atos had some incredible results.

From Joao “Bisnaga” winning a Black Belt World title… To the Dream Team’s complete dominance

Me and my team are currently putting together blogs and videos to recap the event – I’ll be sharing these with you over the next week.

Today I want to focus on a truly emotional event – the moment when Angelica and I promoted our daughter Sarah Galvao to Black Belt.

Just watching the moment back fills me with such joy, pride, energy and love.

She’s conquered so many challenges – and won World Titles at every colored belt since she was a Juvenile.

Honestly – it’s better that you see the moment…

Both FloGrappling and the IBJJF created videos to document Sarah’s journey at Worlds 2025…

Comp Team photo

We’re deep in the grind for IBJJF Worlds 2025. Trust me, it’s the hardest part of the year. As always, our team is pushing hard now so we can leave it all on the mats on comp day. What’s funny… Most of our athletes find the training camps before big comps harder than the competition itself 😅 That’s the point. If you survive the pressure of a hard training camp: The mental pressure The physical pressure And the spiritual pressure …you’re more likely to dominate at the tournament. The scary...
