Andre Galvao is undoubtedly one of the most accomplished athletes to ever step onto the mats.
His illustrious career spans 20 years of dominance from Brazil to the United States. A five-time IBJJF black belt world champion, three-time Abu Dhabi World Pro Champion, and five-time ADCC champion, Andre has accomplished just about everything there is to accomplish in the sport of jiu-jitsu.
In April 2018 Andre Galvao decided to give one more shot at glory when he was invited to one of the biggest jiu-jitsu tournaments in the world. The Abu Dhabi King of Mats tournament invited only the top black belts from around the world to compete in a round robin style bracket to definitively crown a 2018 King of Mats champion.
In episode one, Andre Galvao walks us through his competition day and takes us on a few wild adventures through the desert country. Riding camels, exploring mosques and much more, 'King of the Mat' has it all!
