Covina Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

A long time ago Prof. Renato with the help of Sampa Staff had developed a great DVD set about Brazilian JiuJitsu that covers pretty much the basics, essentials or fundamentals techniques the one must learn in the first 2years, maybe a bit more. Having this DVD set will help you to refer to classes and memorize the techniques and quickly develop yourgame plan. Of course, you must know, learn and develop other techniques that we do not cover on the DVD set but it is ahack of a ...starting point and will save you from many mistakes in your journey! It is not a class curriculum but yes it can help you to develop one. That been said this DVD set is great forbeginner students, for coaches that need to review Basics, for school owners developing a curriculum forparents to help their kids learning process, etc. You can get this DVD set directly by ordering in person at Sampa in Glendora or through Amazon. Here is the link to find it on amazon: INVINCIBLE BASICS 4 DVD SET Thank You. Renato Migliaccio

We decided to write this article to explain our Culture to everyone at Sampa jiu-jitsu, so everyone is on thesame page including fitness students. It is imperative to abide by our rules and culture in order for to everyone have the best time here. It is also OK to change schools just because you believe our culture and rules do not relate to the moral code, values, andethics you have or want for your child.... Jiu-Jitsu/Judo is an art where a more elevated sense of behavior is appropriate. Sampa Students should always use Jiu-Jitsu/Judo/Martial arts to develop their body and mind through minimumeffort and maximum efficiency with mutual respect to themselves and others. The one who practices martial arts at Sampa does not seek perfection to fight but fight to seek perfection. A great student is the one who pursues intelligence, to comprehend what is taught, has the patience to pass onwhat was taught to others, and faith to believe in what is not yet comprehended. If you are thinking about being defeated, you have already lost. To approach perfection, one needs to chase it with consistency, wisdom, and overall humility. Learn every day a little bit more and use it every day for the good in the way of true men. When one realizes with sadness that does not know enough, he has made the first step towards progression. Never be proud of defeating an opponent, the one you just defeated today, can defeat you tomorrow. The only victory that lasts is the one that one accomplishes over his own ignorance. Practice Martial arts at Sampa is to teach the mind to think with speed and accuracy as well as teach the body toobey it properly. The Body is a weapon which its efficiency depends on the precision one uses his intelligence. Sampa's Moral Code: Politeness, Courage, Sincerity, Honor, Modesty, Respect, Self-Control, Friendship,Genuine knowledge, Indomitable Spirit. Prof. Renato

At Sampa BJJ we like to see jiu-jitsu as a lifestyle, we train jiu jitsu because it is good for our body and for our mind, we will achieve confidence, self-respect, and much more other benefits. Budo means "martial way" and refers to those martial disciplines whose ultimate goal is spiritual, ethical and/or moral self-improvement. That been said, competition is just one way to live the martial arts of jiu jitsu.... Competition is not the only meaning of BJJ. It is a fact that many schools are solely focused in competition, it is not bad but also it is not the complete experience of the art of jiu jitsu. Here at Sampa Jiu-Jitsu we recommend all the students to complete a few times per year, for those who decide to become competitors and get serious about it we even recommend them to quit their job and dedicate solely to the sport. Many people can’t quit their jobs but they can still enjoy the Martial art journey. We understand that competitions can be annoying for the parents and also overwhelming for the kids at the early stages. That is why at Sampa BJJ, we offer our in-house competitions and festivals, a great way to educate the kids about the rules, how to behave in competition, warm-up, as well teaching the parents how to behave properly. A great way to train for the actual competition in a safe and controlled environment. Register yourself or child to our next competition and do not miss the chance to learn! Do not focus solely on results, do not force your child to compete, avoid early specialization (let your child play other things), Not everyone will get a scholarship, not everyone will be an Olympian, let your child have fun, interfere less and know that 70% of the kids in the USA quit any organized sports by the age of 13, just because parents push too much towards results. Thank you

Dear friend, Once in a while, we like to emphasize that competitions are important to one’s development as a martial artist, Prof. Renato has done many competitions, many wins, many losses but great learning from them all. You cannot be a martial artist if you haven’t tried it at least once. You will deal with your nerves, anxiety and... for sure you will leave each competition better than you were before. Please check some of his fights and highlights.
