Also big congrats to her sister Theresa Zeppetelli on also qualifying for the State tournament Let’s Go!!!!!!!!
Not gonna lie, sometimes being a BJJ instructor can suck, people can break your heart at times, and usually the people who you did the most for. But then you are reminded of the people who you made a difference in their lives and it always dwarfs the negative. Just received this gift from a student who is a former USMC Sergeant who is also a US Army physician in Iraq. People can be amazing and I am so honored and grateful that he thought to give me this. Thank you so much. This made what was a really awful week much better.

Savarese BJJ instructor gets promoted as Professor Anthony Del Guercio received the 1st degree on his blackbelt from Professor Savarese. Anthony has the “no excuses” mindset as his is a trial laywer by day and teaches BJJ at night in search of continued self-improvement. Professor Savarese has this to say
“Congrats to Professor Anthony Del Guercio on receiving the 1st degree on his blackbelt today. Another instructor filmed it but i wanted everyone to see and hear my words and thoughts about him and for any student not in class today to hear. Anthony has become an amazing blackbelt and instructor, he is a vital piece of our academy, and frankly, we wouldn’t have survived without him. He has helped make our Academy better than it has ever been and I am so glad he is a member of our team. He deserves all the goodwill that comes his way because he is so selfless when it comes to helping our students. He is a blackbelt in every aspect of life. Oss.”
, a true instructor and mentor. Professor Sav had so many nice things to say about me today that I choked up and a few tears snuck out (those who know me know I don’t cry often or easily). While I appreciate everything he said, I have to remind people that, from personal knowledge, Professor Sav has one of the biggest hearts I know. He legitimately cares for each and every one of his students. Putting aside his pedigree and more than ample qualifications, his dedication and loyalty to the school and his students, both on and off the mats, is unmatched and greatly appreciated. It’s truly a rarity to find such heart and compassion coupled with skill and ability. His personal sacrifices to keep the school and, to many, a sanctuary, running all these years, especially during this pandemic, are not lost on us. I truly hope that everybody who trains has such an instructor. Many thanks for all that Professor Sav has done and sacrificed so that we all have a place to train and grow as jiu jitsu practitioners and human beings.
The Adopt A Cop seminar is a huge success as 7 BJJ instructors got together to teach self defense for a great cause. One of the instructors, Professor Chris Savarese, owner of Savarese BJJ Academy in Lyndhurst NJ www.njbjj.com, had this to say on his Facebook Page: “What an amazing day yesterday at AllStar MMA Training Facility where I was blessed to be asked to help teach for a great cause, the Adopt A Cop BJJ organization https://adoptacopbjj.org/ , a donation based nonprofit that allows any police officer to train BJJ around the USA and they will pay your memeberahip until you are a bluebelt. I was lucky enough to teach alongside the Legend Renzo Gracie, my good friends and training partners Jamal Patterson, Alan Teo, Joseph Capizzi, , bjj world champion Johnny Tama and MMA fighter and former Navy Seal Mitch Aguiar as well as some police tactics instructors. We raised over 7k to help the cause and taught some tactics many of the officers in attendance. Like Mitch said, I really believe we saved lives yesterday through the $ and awareness raised and I’m proud that we were a part of this.”
