mike fowler is ATOS now?

Aren't the Mendes bros having Visa issues? They had to cancel a few seminars.

Dawkins - Aren't the Mendes bros having Visa issues? They had to cancel a few seminars.


 they are currently in the US and they were both at the SD AD pro trials this past weekend.

No Visa issues. I'm having them out for a seminar, but had to postpone it until September because they are getting their green cards. Sounds like they will be staying in the US and opening an academy?

^^^ I've heard rumors OC area .... Here is southern California, pure speculation of course Phone Post

Will this seminar be open to the public or is it for your students only?

:)

Yea man, anyone can come. It will be September 8th (gi) & 9th (no gi). $100 for one day and $150 for both. See if you can make it.

Here's the facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/events/242011152550976/

Macabuhay -  It seems fitting to plug this new 31fifty shirt that dropped tonight, particularly since I have been following the brand since the start and I am a fellow Atos team member :)

Fowler is a great person. I think our podcast really gives some insight to who Mike is as a coach, fighter and overall great person.

Great interview, I've enjoyed all of them. I was working while I listened, so I may have missed it -- did you guys discuss the Atos thing? I didn't catch it in the interview, but it seemed like you guys were hinting around at the end, e.g., "we don't want to disclose anything yet, but Mike has some new plans coming soon..."

Thank you very much for the support. 

So we recorded this interview in NYC at the Ultimate Absolute. At that time Mike hadn't really announced the switch publicly. Our priority is always to respect the athletes and the sport. So while we could probably have gotten a lot of buzz by throwing that information out there, that isn't who we are. We caught up with Mike in San Diego at the World Pro Trials. We did an Expert's Corner video with him there that he addresses his departure from TLI and his new home at Mendes Bros/Atos. That will be posted on our site soon.

We really encourage everyone to check out North Shore BJJ and give them a helping hand if you're able to. Mike and Tracey are doing great things for the community out there, and they're doing it all for a non-profit org.

 guy who trains at galvao's said they have a place picked out already in newport beach.

I think being so far West, Fowler didn't really have any support from TLI anymore and it made sense to affiliate with people he knew, were at a high level, and were located closer to him.

Brandon Vera is still just south of SD along with Dominick Cruz, Phil Davis, etc. that area all parts of TLI.

Rafa Mendes told me personally that they are opening an academy in New Port Beach. Phone Post

also noticed michael J liera training with Atos.

Fowler seems like a cool dude. I'd like to train with him someday.

A week in Hawaii doesn't sound so bad

This always happens. The top competitors or those wishing to regain their magic will go to the strongest current team. It only makes sense. Atos is hands down the hottest team right now, so they are the most attractive. Once they start to decline, another team will pop up. Not a new story.

This just goes to show how much BS the whole creonte thing is.

I'm surprised people still use the word creonte, it's very 1990's old school line of thinking like "hey I taught spent years teaching him my secret pure Gracie water guard sweeps how dare he train with anyone else".

Can a blue namer post Fowler vs Saulo? :-)

Thanks :-)
