Mississauga BJJ | 1st of many Blackbelts in the Academy
They say a picture is worth a thousand words so lets will start with a few shots from Thursday Jiu-Jitsu classes and Surprise belt promotion for long time brown belt Mike Imperato.
Congrats to Mike on the black belt and coach Sam Zakula for mentoring yet another high level grappler
Putting in over 10 years of training under Sam’s tutelage he joins the black belt club and has the distinction of being the first person awarded a black belt of any type inside the Elite training centre. I’m thinking its a good sign of things to come.

Sam’s not a big fan of the camera but one of the nations very best coaches so i had to sneak up and get this footage showing his hands on style that has consistently delivered results for students from all walks of life.
Video #3 | Claude Patrick Bottom Hook Details –
Busy filming or not I remain a stickler for technical detail. Technique 1st at Mississauga BJJ. Watch Leslie pickup the details and properly using the bottom hook on bakc attacks. Still not there 100 percent but a lot lot better with just a few corrections.
