Sensei Lou Zuccaro

Sensei Lou Zuccaro started his martial arts training in 1964 under the guidance of his uncle Eramus "Sensei Ray" Purificato. Their journey began in Brooklyn New York with Modern Jujutsu taught by Sensei Joe Murgola, a protégé of Professor Florendo Madriaga Visitacion . Sensei Lou studied with "Prof Vee" through the many evolutions of Professor Vee's system, Vee-jitsu-ryu Jujutsu to Nisei Goshinjutsu. At the Dojo six days a week, doubling up on classes some nights, Sensei Lou "cross-trained " long before that phrase was coined. The Dojo operated with different styles sharing the mat; Jujutsu was taught three nights, Judo two, Kung fu one and Goju Karate another. This training coupled with his own life experiences forged Sensei Lou into a well rounded martial artist. Sensei Lou began teaching in the 70's and opened in his own school in the 80's.

Sensei Lou began another journey in his martial arts career when he formed the Zenbu Ryu Jujutsu on August 8,1998. His mission is two fold, to teach a comprehensive fighting art and to help students become the best that they can be in all aspects of their lives.
