Sam Crook was the Head Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Coach at Francis Ngannou's (Former UFC Heavyweight World Champion) foundation in Cameroon from 2019-2023, where he was bringing BJJ to underprivileged children. He is a well-accomplished jiu-jitsu black belt under Marco Canha which he achieved after reaching Brown Belt under Darren Yeoman.
Sam's remarkable story takes him from being an uninspired young man in the UK, to finding and dedicating himself to BJJ and eventually taking a chance, moving to Cameroon where his life was changed forever. Arriving a single man, Sam now has two adopted teenage boys, a wife, a stepson and a newborn and is currently battling to bring his family home to the UK.
Expect to get the everyday perspective on Sam's journey with BJJ, his differences with Francis Ngannou, life in Cameroon, Franck's back story, BJJ competition tactics, bad position strategy and much more...
