Mike started training grappling based martial arts in 2005. After spending some time doing Aikido and Sambo, Mike really found his passion to be in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Receiving his black belt from Rolles Gracie black belt and Head of Alliance BJJ Team, Romero "Jacare" Cavalcanti, in April 2014, Mike is one of the head grappling instructors at WNY MMA. Leg locks, top pressure and MMA style BJJ is what Mike is best known for.
