True Believer Jiu-Jitsu's Jake Miclot knows his crew is a little different.
And he prefers it that way.
A standout crew in the Pittsburgh grappling scene, True Believer Jiu-Jitsu has played a crucial role in our cage grappling events –– Sprawl in the Burgh and Sprawl in the Burgh 2 –– and will be back in full force Friday, April 19, at Sprawl in the Burgh 3 inside the Hollywood Casino at the Meadows Event Center.

Led by Jake Miclot, True Believer employs a slightly different approach to the art of jiu-jitsu. Where does it come from? And what is it exactly?
Well, it all starts with Miclot at the top. None of their success is an accident, and the team's philosophy and attitude are written all over its athletes.

Indio Dojo's roots run deep.
And that's largely due to the experience, influence, and knowledge of owner/professor Danillo Villefort.
On the latest 247 Combat Sports Podcast, Villefort joins the show alongside pupil Clayton 'Hoot' Lee.
The timing couldn't be better, as "Hoot" fights "Cowboy Eddy" Edgar Parrilla II Saturday, Feb. 24, for the 247 Fighting Championships amateur lightweight title at Brawl in the Burgh 20 in Murrysville, PA.

Despite showing up late (*cough*) Hoot brought the heat to the podcast.
Beyond that, though, viewers and listeners got a full dose of Villefort. From Brazil to Florida to Pittsburgh, Villefort's seen and done it all like few others.
