Great school to learn jiu jitsu. Taught by some of the best in this sport. Would highly recommend.
Atos is home. I value the instruction and commitment to the sport and martial art that Professor Andre Galvao displays through his daily habits and self. It’s a inspiration and not only him but the multiple champions and overall team. If your a beginner, advanced and/or looking to get the best experience out of your self through challenging training or through technique and learning the art, then Atos HQ is a great place to invest. I believe you will be making the best choice. 🙏🏽❤️ And you don’t have to take my word for it. When you step through the door you will see for yourself. 🙇🏽♂️
Best place for kids to train, this place is a factory for little Jiu-Jitsu monsters, they treat the kids with respect and love, but they teach complex techniques and dont treat them like babies, they are taught submissions and how to tap right away, truly excellent Jiu-Jitsu teachers. They do offer a one week trial if youre on the fence.
I love training at Atos for so many reasons! Yes, they teach the best jiujitsu, their method of teaching and structure works so well for how I learn, but they also have an accommodating class schedule for any lifestyle and such a good environment, good vibes, and great leadership. Definitely check it out.
One of the BEST online instructionals offered. I highly recommend the video analysis. The ability to have these instructors breakdown your game and give you feedback is an amazing and rare opportunity which should not be missed. The content is always incredible with an insane amount of details. This is my first review but I have been a member for probably 2 years. Couldnt be happier
I come in from Chicago and am treated respectfully and learn techniques from the best. Best gym not only in Cali but in the world.
The best academy and training in San Diego. I love the environment. I highly recommend it!
Atos is truly an amazing place!You get world class instructions and a friendly, supportive environment.This is the place!
The best vibe and atmosphere of any academy I’ve ever been to. Crazy amounts of talent on the mat, and the nicest people around.
Came all the from Brazil just to train with them and couldn’t be more grateful. They welcomed me and my dreams with opened arms and they are so helpful towards my goal. They have the BEST environment that I ever seen in a Jiu jitsu gym.
I LOVE ATOS! Great family atmosphere. They have a great kids program. A great beginners programs...Gi and NoGi. They have world class coaches that know and live what they do.
Best BJJ gym in the world. If you’re in San Diego and want world class BJJ, Atos is your place. There is a reason people move from across the country to San Diego, to train at this gym. From beginners to world-class, they have you covered.
Beautiful place to learn, meet great people from all parts of the globe...all walks of life.
I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu for over a decade and have been fortunate enough to visit academies from all o we the world. Without a doubt, Atos HQ is the best Jiu Jitsu academy on the planet. It doesn’t matter if you want to be a world beater, or just enjoy training for the fun of it, you won’t find a better atmosphere of more welcoming individuals. The instruction quite literally cannot be topped anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and stop in!
Having trained at countless other academies, I can confidently say that Atos Jiu Jitsu HQ is the best place in the world to train and learn BJJ
Best place I’ve ever trained at and I’ve been doing Jiu Jitsu for 7 years. Very friendly training environment and has many people at different skill levels for if you want to train as a hobby or if you want to be a world class competitor. Andre and Angelica have been amazing representatives of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! I’m in law enforcement and I continue to get everyone I work with to come train and learn this essential martial art.
Best place to train the real brazilian jiu jitsu!
Best place in the world to learn high quality jiujitsu in a great environment.
The best place in the world in all aspects that you can imagine!
THE BEST ACADEMY IN THE WORLD. Youll be learning from top Black Belts in a clean and respectful environment, with good rolls and hard training. The Womens team is absolutely the best, lead by Angelica Galvao, Black Belt World Champion, with a wide variety of levels & sizes on the same mat, the atmosphere is positive, filled with encouragement & the best motivation to keep training hard while improving your jiu jitsu day by day. If you love jiu jitsu, this place will become your HAPPY PLACE.
Beautiful, clean facility; professional & friendly staff. My son & I each did one drop in session while on vacation & we enjoyed it very much. Professor Mike was easy/great to learn from. I wish there were more than 5 stars that I could give to Atos! If you’re ever living/visiting San Diego, I definitely recommend checking out this awesome gym!
The classes are amazing the instructors and coaches are very knowledgeable and take the time to help every single person in class I would highly recommend atos !
The house that has made countless world champions lives up to its reputation.
I was visiting from out of town and dropped in to train. I have followed the academy on social media and am a huge fan of professor Galvao. Instruction during the class well delivered and understandable with quality detailed. The coach walked around and spent good quality instruction time with everyone. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. We rolled a few rounds and the students were very sound and skilled! If I were staying in the area I would definitely come back.
The best academy in the world for sure!
I’m new to BJJ and wanted to learn basics during my vacations in San Diego. In my home academy they don’t teach that and I wanted some building blocks. I visited quite a few famous academies in San Diego, there are really great options. Atos stand out as the most structured and well organized. The classes were very insightful and delivered what I was looking for.
Great training and very welcoming environment.
They just want your money.
I love this place so much and here is why. It’s a great place for the whole family to get an amazing workout! I have two girls ages 6 and 8. My oldest was struggling with her confidence a couple of years back and since she started training at ATOS, I’ve noticed how much her confidence has boosted. She is so secure of herself now and feels like she can take on the world. Just that alone for me was a win!They are super family friendly. My husband and I also have been training there for a little over 4 years now and it’s been nothing but an amazing experience. We love our family evenings there. It’s such a fun and unique family bonding time.I love that there is no age limit to join, you see young kids to an older crow on the mats training and having a good time.
Atos is an amazing place to be at! Everyone is welcoming and helpful no matter what your skill level is. Once you step inside, it feels like you’re part of a family. You can tell that it’s the number one place to be when you meet so many people who are visiting from out of town or who have moved to San Diego to train here or in general, the numerous people who have dedicated their time to train here regularly and they all only have good things to say about Atos.
This gym was so welcoming from day one. i felt like i was part of a family. This is hands down the best training in the world. There is something for everyone, whether you want ro compete, get in shape, or just challenge yourself to learn something new. I highly recommend Atos.
Amazing instruction, great people and the atmosphere is amazing. No matter if you’re starting out or a high level competitor moving from another city, Atos is the best. Even the girls at the front desk are super helpful and make you feel welcome immediately as you walk in. Best gym in the World.
An amazing place to train, no matter what level you’re at. Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and ready to work hard. The instruction is as elite as it gets - some of the best in the world - but the down-to-earth atmosphere of the gym still allows for easy conversations and an open forum for questions and real improvement.
A bucket list must. This is a must stop destination for anyone who practices the gentle art. The best in the world train here. Can’t wait to get a chance to come back again!
This is by far the best Brazilian jiu jitsu school in the world . A special place . I love this school
I’ve been training at this gym all of my career 8+ years. It’s not only the best academy in the United States but also the world! Come and experience the environment and people for yourself
Heather at the front desk was very helpful at welcoming us to drop in to the class. Students welcome you as if you trained there all the time. If your in San diego I would definitely stop by.
Top notch training for all levels and age groups. And that women’s class is second to none! Great safe place for women starting out and an equally great space to roll with some of the best women in the sport.
This facility is top notch. All the instructors are solid professionals. Each class is full of dedicated practitioners of all age groups. Mr. Carlos greeted me pleasantly and quickly answered all my questions about schedules, classes, and etiquette. If you want your jiu-jitsu to be amazing, come to this gym.
Beautiful establishment. As soon as you wak in you can tell that the facilities were built to ensure to maximize everyones potential. Staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Super excited to get some training in here since Im traveling in the area. I cannot give this gym enough praise. Five stars.
My 9yo daughter was nervous about starting. She attended 5 days of the free introduction week. I counted btwn 9 -14 girls in classes who made her genuinely feel comfortable. Always had at least 1 Black belt (2 most of the time) as Professors who ALWAYS made the class fun and were very professional with the kids. My daughter has made many friends and cant wait to attend class every day. This is the facility to train your kids in BJJ.
We were vacationing in San Diego and my daughter wanted a chance to train at her heros gym. We called and were welcomed with open arms, she felt just like one of the team. I couldnt think of a more positive atmosphere for my child to learn in.
This is the best place for women to train BJJ. Its the only place where you get women of all shapes and sizes and belt levels in a single room (outside of a womens only seminar / open mat).Super clean gym, top-notch instruction, good rolls - everything you need from your BJJ gym. Good vibes and respect all around; I even enjoy the music they play during rolls. The professors are examples of good conduct for everyone both on and off the mats.
I have been going here for the last couple years every time I visit San Diego for comic con. I love this school and enjoy training here. I have been fortunate to have met some very nice instructors and nice associates that work there. I will continue to visit at a minimum yearly to train here.
This gym is amazing. Great instructors and staff! I can’t wait to come back and train here.
Professor Galvao and his students were amazing. I was traveling for work from Maryland and took a class and can not say enough about the instruction, the students and the gym. Thank you Logan, Louie, Cesar, Chris and Wesley for the rolls.
Visiting from out of town. Great gym led by Andre Galvao. Definitely worth a trip over to train
Awesome instructors and a great group of students to train with. I wish I lived in San Diego so I could train at Atos all the time.
Great place to train. Had an awesome time visiting this gym on holiday!
Very welcoming and extremely high level jiu jitsu. Was able to drop in while on vacation and highly recommend it
An awesome vibe to the people and they are a friendly bunch. This is the place to join if you are in San Diego! Professor Galvao is phenomenal, and his students will work with you to make you great!
Best place in San Diego with multiple world champions instructing. Best and friendly atmosphere with professional staff.
Great training. Everyone is friendly and very skilled. Andre galvao is very friendly and completely hilarious. First day here was amazing.
Great time and great instruction at ATOS Jiu-Jitsu!
Dropped in from the east coast and was warmly welcomed. Great instructors and friendly students abound!
This is my second home everyone that trains there will treat you like family its such an incredible experience and a lot of talented people fight there.
Great technical classes! World champions all around who are glad to help and train! Must visit
Atos HQ, San Diego, is the best Brazilian Jiujitsu academy in the world! Professors Andre and Angelica Galvao have created the most amazing environment for people to not only learn Brazilian Jiujitsu, but to extend their family through the people at Atos HQ. I have traveled to many academies, but no where else have I experienced the welcome and support the way I have here. All are welcomed with genuine open arms. No matter your previous experience or affiliation they bring you into their team as if you were always a member. Each person at Atos HQ wants to grow and for you to grow with them. The all star line up of world renowned instructors support students both on and off the mat, and deliver content that allows for every level practitioner to grow and continue evolving. PLEASE DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT... SEE FOR YOURSELF! TAKE A CLASS, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
Carlos and his team here are fantastic. I love everything about Atos. Definitely check these guys out if you’re looking for a bjj gym in San Diego.
One of if not THE most prestigious Jiu-jitsu schools in the world. Too many world champs and rising stars here to count...Classes are packed but they somehow manage to get to each student to dial-in technique, correct mistakes, etc.Id move to San Diego just for ATOS if my wife would let me...
I was visiting SanDiego for a work medical conference as I’m a 40 yo physician. In my area I co own the small jiujitsu school I’m a part of. I had always wanted to train at Atos headquarters so of course I visited. Unfortunately Professor Galvao was traveling but the experience was amazing. Everyone was very welcoming. The atmosphere was very professional and very clean. No gi. No problem. You can rent a gi and rash guard there. Made me jealous among other reasons I don’t live in San Diego. The culture at the school is excellent so the leaders are doing a great job leading. Definitely check it out if you are in sandiego.
Atos is one of the best places to train jiu jitsu in the entire world. Since being here for only a few months, I met so many people who have moved their lives from another state or another country to be in San Diego just to train at Atos! This place truly does live up to its name with top notch training from Professors Andre and Angelica Galvao.I have enjoyed every class I’ve taken here. Every instructor is always clear and breaks down each technique so anyone can understand and learn. Questions are always encouraged here. The other students are super supportive and welcome every new member that steps in through the front doors as well. I would highly recommend Atos for anyone, whether you have experience with jiu jitsu or if youre just looking for the right place to start!
Atos Jiujitsu HQ is by far the best place and the best team in the world to train in Brazilian jiujitsu. I am Belgian, European and we have very good athletes in Belgium too but the level of the teachers, the technical level, the level of training is incomparable !! I know what I mean. It took me almost 4 years to find what I was looking for !! A sharp place, a team with professionals who train at your side and do not let you down. An environment at the top, cleanliness, organization, logistics level, everything is perfect. For the children, the teachers are already big and have not much to prove. For women #AtosGirlsGang team, #AngelicasArmy is led by Master Angelica Galvao champion of the world Abudhabi this year which is no longer to present. Woman of grip and wife of the great André Galvao who is an Athlete having won all that he had to win on the jiujitsu stage, he leads the team as a leader and man of faith, an exemple to follow, all courses are perfectly established and realized so that everyone can progress at his own pace, whether for the competitors or the sportsman/woman. They have a Lifes group also every week that allows us to refocus and share, exchange between us, follow the path of Jesus. Outstanding team and of which I am sure it is the best place in the world to become a better fighter and a better person. place To call and I CALL HOME💜 FAMILY
This is academy is like HOME! It is exactly where you need to be if you are looking for a highly motivated, incredibly proficient, world class instruction jiu jitsu academy. Its not for competitors only, anyone will feel comfortable at Atos. The women group and classes here at Atos are stacked with the most kind, supportive and technical women BJJ practitioners lead by the one and only Angelica Galvao. Andrea Galvao leads the school with class, professionalism and love, and you can see it trickle down through all his black belts and instructors and even his staff in the academy. They truly live by their moto Together we are stronger.
I love training here when I am visiting San Diego! Great school and amazing instructors!
I came to ATOS HQ for a 2 and a half month training camp in preparation for this years Masters Worlds Competition. I train at an ATOS affiliate in Texas, and it was my first time visiting HQ. From the moment I arrived until the day I departed. I felt like I was right at home and part of the ATOS HQ family. The environment that Professor Andre and Professora Angelica have built there is unlike anything I have ever experienced. I fell in love with the academy and it’s people there. They are all so welcoming and supportive of you. You will learn from the best in the world and there is no pressure if you feel like you don’t know how to do something. There is always someone there to help you. I spent my time there improving my jiujitsu and growing as a grappler. I gained a family and a team that make me proud to be part of. I had so much fun in Professora Angelica’s class, it was tough and fun at the same time. It challenged me and I was so honored to be a part of the group there. All of the women are phenomenal. The overall energy there is contagious and you can’t help but feed off of it and smile. If you are in the San Diego area, this is where you want to be. From the moment you walk in, to when you take your first step on the Mats. You will feel the amazing positive energy there. I loved it there so much that I plan to make arrangements to move to San Diego to train there fulltime with this amazing team that I have the privilege to call my family 💙
Atos HQ is so inspiring! Great for weight loss too!!I have a coworker who trains at Atos and would enthusiastically talk about jiu jitsu at work all the time, and encouraged me to try it. I was morbidly obese and looking to make a change, and had dropped about 30lbs (the same 30 I’d lose and regain over and over again) but I knew I needed some physical activity that I enjoyed or I’d fall off the wagon (again) so I decided to give it a try.What a life changer! The atmosphere at Atos is so welcoming, encouraging, and challenging. I started in the Women’s class and immediately felt at home and fell in love with BJJ. The professor Angelica Galvao has the perfect balance kindness and encouragement while still holding you accountable to do your best. It has been so amazing to train here and watch myself transform under her world class guidance.Not only am I acquiring jiu jitsu skills, but I’ve also dropped 63lbs in the 6 months I have been training here!!! I am excited to work while I’m on the mat, but the desire to improve there also drives me to workout at the gym — and for once I don’t feel like it’s a chore because now I have a goal. I am in the best shape of my life and I know it’s only going to improve more.There are so many bjj greats here, and training with champions inspires me to strive for better every single day. Atos has been a total game changer for me and I can’t imagine my life without it anymore. If you have the opportunity to train here, take it!
If youre looking for a place that will challenge you to be better and at the same time welcome you with open arms. This is the place to be, its like living the Jiu jitsu dream❤️
Im moving to the San Diego area in March, I currently attend David branch Jiu-jitsu here in NJ he recommended your school I cant wait to try you guys out.
I moved out to san diego from switzerland to train at atos. And the only thing i can say is- its even better than i expected it to be. The team is amazing and every training is hard and from really high quality but still a feeling of home. The classes are lead by andre galvao itself or one of his world class competitors as for example lucas barbosa.I love it and cant imagine to train at an other place anymore.
Stopped by for an open mat during my recent trip to San Diego. Everyone I met was really friendly and open to visitors.
Best BJJ gym on planet. Osss.
Did a private with JT Torres while in town and bumped into Keenan Cornelius out in town. Learned a ton from JT in my one hour private. Very technical and took a very personable approach to my lesson. One thing I can say is these guy have great training and are awesome guys off the mat. True champions at ATOS. All in all it was a great time!
Perfect place to train hard w/ super tough guys
Awesome instruction, World class competitiors, & very humble students. Oss
Well, Galvao owns the place, so its going to be awesome... DUH.
Best bjj gym in the world.
Excellent gym, very friendly and welcoming
Great school! Instruction for all levels!
World class
Wonderful .. I love this place! ❤️
Very good place, good coach and good team!
