THE NEED FOR JIU-JITSU ESSENTIALS
Jiu-Jitsu Essentials Course Introduction
A TRANSFORMATIONAL COURSE
Jiu-Jitsu can provide a roadmap to success in all aspects of our life. Jiu-Jitsu is one of the best ways in learning to deal with chaos that is thrown our way.
We can continuously evolve when we have a passion to challenge ourselves and the status quo.
Being open to learning new concepts expands our perspectives. It offers new worlds of information and empowerment.
The goal of the Jiu Jitsu Essentials course is to transform your approach to jiu-jitsu fundamentals. I want to teach students how to instinctively teach themselves Jiu-Jitsu rather than having to recall moves and patterns from memory.
Topics Covered Include:
-
Submission Essentials
-
Passing Guard Essentials
-
Closed Guard Essentials
-
Escape Essentials
-
Takedown Essentials
-
Open Guard Essentials
-
Mindset Essentials
“Teaching is my way of sharing and helping to facilitate that process for others. Not only is it a way to bring out the best in others, the practice of teaching helps me bring out the best in me and brings me closer to the truth as well. I am forever a student. I seek to find the best knowledge to share with others.”

Kenny’s patient and thoughtful approach to jiu jitsu makes it easily understandable for anyone. His ability to break down complex concepts while providing the logic behind moves is invaluable! When I started training with him years ago, I had zero knowledge of jiu jitsu. I’m so grateful for the incredible foundation and confidence he’s helped me build in this sport!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of training and learning with Kenny Florian for a good length of time. His unique approach to Jiu-Jitsu is one of a kind, focusing more on concepts and body positioning than just stagnant techniques. - He has the ability to simplify things and make you view jiu jitsu from a problem solving perspective! I would recommend this instructional to anyone, especially those just starting out.”
