Expect to get the everyday perspective on why Tom left Gracie Barra and became Head of ATOS UK, his call out of Owen Livesey for a Battle of Britain match, his frustrations with Jiu jitsu politics and faceless reddit trolls, how he met Andre Galvao for the first time, how he's grown one of the largest academies in the UK,  his experience training with New Wave and Gordon Ryan, his goals and aspirations and much more. 

Thomas Bracher is a 1st Degree Black under Andre Galvao, Head of ATOS UK, IBJJF European Champion, 3x IBJJF Worlds Medalist, 6x British Champion, 1x Pan Am Black Belt Silver Medalist and has competed against some of the biggest names in professional grappling.
