Awesome and very welcoming Dojo. High caliber rolls and very technical professor. Professor Antonia is patient and always ready to answer any queries. Great seminars from high level black belts from extended Atos family which has included Andre Galvao and Josh Hinger.If you are looking to extent your knowledge or new to BJJ, I highly recommend Atos Brisbane...

I have trained under Professor Mota since 2014. Antonio lives and breathes jiu jitsu and is highly invested in his students. We are incredibly lucky to learn from a world class professor and have access to world champion athletes. The students at Atos Brisbane are welcoming, patient and enthusiastic. If you are considering a martial art, you should absolutely pay Atos Brisbane a visit, it will change your life!

From the minute I walked into the door at Atos I felt welcomed by all. The studio is clean and very well maintained.
Antonio has a heart of gold and truly loves what he does which inspires me. His method of teaching has not only helped me in class, but has helped me outside of it in so many ways. I have not felt this energetic in a very long time. I have done many forms of sports and fitness activities for over 28 years and have found that BJJ with Antonio has been the greatest so far.

Great academy. Fantastic team. Professor Antonio Mota is a 1st degree Black Belt under 9x world champion Andr Galvo, and it shows! Incredible instructor with flawless technique, and just a genuine nice guy. If you're looking for a world-class Jiu Jitsu academy in Brisbane, then look no further than Atos Brisbane in Milton.

I've been training under Professor Antonio for a year and a half now and it has changed my life. Antonio's jiu jitsu is amazing. He's a black belt under one of the best in the world - Andre Galvao, and he regularly visits Atos BJJ HQ in San Diego and trains with some of the best BJJ black belts in the world. His jiu jitsu training is modern and world class. Come and try some BJJ with us at Atos Brisbane. We offer a 7 day free trial, so you have nothing to lose! Oss
