Sampa Jiu Jitsu and Martial Arts

Sampa Jiu Jitsu and Martial Arts in Glendora is led by Professor Renato Migliaccio, a fourth-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt with deep roots in the art. Professor Migliaccio’s presence on the mats is central to the academy’s identity, shaping a school where instruction comes directly from a highly experienced black belt rather than from a distant franchise system. Professor Nathan Basseto is also named among the instructors, reinforcing a senior-coach atmosphere and a hands-on approach to teaching. The academy offers a range of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs for kids, teens, and adults, including both gi and no-gi classes. Specialized classes for women, early-morning Jiu-Jitsu sessions at 5 am and 6 am, and programs in Judo and Sambo reflect Sampa’s effort to serve a wide range of students and training schedules. For those interested in cross-training, the gym also provides kickboxing, boxing, and self-defense classes, alongside open mat sessions where adults can train with drop-ins welcomed. Sampa’s approach emphasizes technical development and personal growth, with programs designed for students as young as three years old through adulthood. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and the school operates as a local academy focused on long-term development rather than fast turnover. With Professor Migliaccio’s longstanding leadership and commitment to teaching, Sampa remains a fixture for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts in the Glendora area.
