Andre Galvão moves to Brasa team

In news for hardcore bjj fans, Tatame reports that following last week's losses to Marcelo Garcia in the Brazilian National BJJ Championships, Andre Galvão has switched from TT Team to Brasa. The poorly translated story reads:
André Galvão changes TT to Brasa

The two defeats for Marcelinho Garcia in the Brazilian JJ Championship of this year were the special motive for the JJ black-belt André Galvão changes the TT-JJ for the Brasa team. Confirmed by the own athlete, tha change happened on Sunday (28), when Galvão communicated the leaders of the team Eduardo Telles and Fernando Tererê. "I'm already in ATT for about three or four years and I was training by myself each day more. I think that it is too early for that and I need a hard training to improve my Jiu-Jitsu", said Galvão, that decided her entrance in the Brasa team after the Brazilian Championship.

- When I lost to Marcelo, I realized that I didn't have a corner. There was anyone on my side. I miss Tererê. So, I always had friends from Brasa (old Máster) they had always let the doors open to me - said Galvão, that will be already defending the new flag at the World-Wide Championship of JJ, in July.

Videos of Galvão competing in the Brazilian National BJJ Championship were previously blogged here and here.
