INSTRUCTOR
Who is Mike De Jesus?
Mike De Jesus is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blackbelt under Adam Piccolotti and a Judo Blackbelt under Willy Cahill. Mike first started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Judo in 2008 and has competed in many BJJ tournaments such as American Cup, Pan Ams, Worlds and Honolulu open to name a few.
In 2011, Mike De Jesus decided to compete in Mixed Martial Arts so he started to train Muay Thai/Bokator Kickboxing under Kenya Prach AKA "Black Stone Hands" to become more well-rounded. After two amateur fights and helping his training partner, coach and good friend, Adam Piccolotti, his passion to become a coach was ignited.
The beginning of Mike De Jesus BJJ:
In 2016 Willy Cahill offered Mike the unique opportunity to teach a blended class of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo at Cahill’s Judo Academy in San Bruno, CA. which Mike accepted proudly. Students have the opportunity to train Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling and No Gi with one coach in one class which is an option that is difficult to find. His objective is for his students to be well rounded in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so they are calm and have the ability to think and problem solve in any position they are in.
