André Galvão is one of the most decorated cross-format competitors of his generation. A black belt under Fernando “Tererê” Augusto, he stacked IBJJF Worlds titles across weight classes and swept ADCC in 2011 with gold at −88 kg and absolute, later holding the ADCC superfight title before losing it to Gordon Ryan in 2022.

As co-founder and long-time head coach of Atos, he produced waves of world champions around pressure passing and half-guard structure. His profile pairs with knee-slide, half-guard, and mount pages for readers studying top-game control.
