Modified Kesa isn't just a hold, it's a whole game of transitions and positioning, and this breakdown from Prof Ken DaSilva shows exactly why.
Understanding how to move in and out of position is what separates someone who knows a technique from someone who can actually use it live. This is the kind of detail we drill in Flower Mound and Irvine classes, the stuff that makes the difference on the mat.

Before you step on the mat, know who you are learning from.
Master Dave K**a has been training jiu jitsu since the mid-1980s — starting at the legendary Gracie Garage in Torrance, CA. He is one of the very few people in the world to have earned every belt from blue to black directly under Master Rickson Gracie, receiving his black belt in 1995. As number two of the Dirty Dozen — the first twelve non-Brazilian black belts — he became Rickson's top student and trusted understudy, assisting in seminars across the globe.
In 1993 Rickson personally appointed him head instructor of the Laguna Niguel academy. He rebranded it as K**a Jiu Jitsu in 2012 and has been building champions and communities ever since. Master Dave currently holds a 6th degree black belt.
This is who is teaching you. This is the lineage behind every class at K**a Jiu Jitsu.
First class is free at our Flower Mound, TX and Irvine, CA locations. Link in bio.

That is the whole philosophy right there.
Nobody walks onto this mat trying to beat the person across from them. They walk on trying to beat who they were last Tuesday. The tap, the scramble, the position you finally held — none of it is about anyone else. It is about showing up, doing the work, and leaving a little sharper than you came in.
That is what keeps people coming back to K**a Jiu Jitsu year after year. Not trophies. Progress.

Nikolaos is back and Part 2 hits even harder than the first one.
When someone comes back to tell their story a second time it means the mat actually changed something for them. That is not just a testimonial. That is proof that what happens inside K**a Jiu Jitsu goes deeper than technique — it changes how people carry themselves, how they handle pressure, and who they become in the process.
Watch Part 2 and then come find out what the mat does for you.

The mat has no judgment. Just women showing up for themselves.
Lady Sharks is where it starts. A women's only Brazilian jiu jitsu class built for the woman who has been thinking about this for months and just needs a room that feels safe enough to walk into. Real self defense. Real technique. Real community with women who were exactly where you are right now before they threw on a gi and never looked back.
You do not need experience. You just need to show up.

The mat teaches kids things a classroom never could.
Discipline that sticks. Confidence that walks with them into every room. Respect earned through hard work, not handed to them. Jiu jitsu for kids is not just self-defense — it is how you build a child who knows how to handle pressure, face challenges, and show up for themselves when it matters most.
This is what it looks like inside our Irvine, CA location — and we watch kids walk in nervous and leave standing taller every single week. The mat molds them in ways that last a lifetime.
Kids Brazilian jiu jitsu classes available at both our Irvine, CA and Flower Mound, TX locations. All ages, all levels, all welcome.
Their first class is free. Come see what the mat does for your child.
