Michael began his journey into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the year 2000 while attending Georgia Southern University. Michael was already heavily interested in Martial Arts as he practised Muay Thai Kickboxing. One of Michael's friends convinced him to try a Jiu Jitsu class and he was instantly hooked. The problem for Michael was that in Savannah there were very few training partners to drill with, Michael would visit various high level practitioners in order to try and improve his grappling skills. By 2008 Michael decided to open his own club called "Serg BJJ and Fitness" where he began building a team of extremely reputable athletes. 

In 2012 Michael met the famous Marcio Cruz, who was a 5th degree Black belt and a three time World Champion. Marcio Cruz became Michael’s mentor, as he helped him develop his pathway in Jiu Jitsu. Michael spent numerous hours on the phone to Marcio as they problem solved the Rubik's Cube that is Jiu Jitsu. Over the next couple of years Michael competed extensively on the American circuit of grappling, conquering many tournaments like the New York, Miami and Orlando Open events. In 2014 Michael competed at the Boca Raton Open in the Master 2 Brown belt division. Michael won the Gold medal and as he was on the podium his mentor Marcio Cruz came bustling through the crowd and awarded Michael with a Black belt, one of Michael’s most fondest moments.

Competing as a Black belt over the next few years gave Michael considerable inspiration, as he conquered many IBJJF tournaments including;New York Pro, Atlanta Spring Open, Miami Spring Open and 3 consecutive Atlanta Winter Opens. Michael would also achieve his greatest moments as he won both the IBJJF Pan American Championships and the IBJJF American Nationals. Michael was extremely proud of his achievements as he still can't believe he became the Champion.

Michael Sergi's Best Fight Of All Time

Michael had only just made his way into the NoGi event. Michael was predominantly a Gi fighter and had not done a lot of NoGi training, but he thought he would give it a go anyway. On the day of the event Michael looked at the bracket and saw that he was the lowest ranked fighter in the group and that his first match was against the top ranked fighter. Michael went into the match with nothing to lose and after some hand fighting he could feel he had the upper hand. Michael also felt his opponents nerves and by the end of the fight Michael was victorious. In his second fight he fought a familiar opponent and he cut right through him, submitting his opponent inside of a couple minutes. Michael had his sights set on winning Gold and as he entered into the final he put all fear aside as he embraced the moment. Michael got the takedown that landed out of bounds, and by half way through the match the score was 0 - 0, but Michael knew he was going to win.
