Salepage: Andre Galvao Announces Retirement From Competition

One of the all-time greatest competitors in jiu-jitsu, Andre Galvao has decided to start a new chapter in his life.The
five-time ADCC champion and six-time IBJJF World champion, who
co-founder the powerhouse team Atos, announced his retirement
exclusively to FloGrappling. “I think this chapter of my life is
over. It’s sad, but happy at the same time. Sad because I will need to
stop doing what I love most,” said Galvao.  “I have
nothing to prove to anyone anymore. It’s hard for an athlete to announce
he needs to stop, you’re done, it’s over. I have ideas that I planned
for my future, there’s a lot of things going on at this time in my
career.” Galvao– who is still committed to his 2019
ADCC superfight against Felipe Pena, but will not compete in any other
events– will now focus entirely on his role as a mentor and coach for
his Atos representatives. “I want to make sure they [his team]
are not only champions on the mat but that they can overcome challenges
and become a better person, living their dream just liked I lived my
dream.” A full documentary chronicling Galvao’s experiences in Abu Dhabi will be released at a later date.
