⚡ A DEFINING MOMENT FOR KAIZEN ACADEMY ⚡

Some events are more than seminars.
They become part of an academy’s history.

On September 2nd, Kaizen Academy proudly welcomes Professor Scott Huston—Founder of 360 JiuJitsu , Black Belt World Champion, and head of our affiliation—for our first-ever seminar. 🥋🏆

Professor Scott will share the same SLX & X-Guard systems that have produced World & Pan Championship success for him and his students over the years.

This is not just another class.
It is a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the highest-level minds in Jiu-Jitsu and bring championship-tested details into your own game. 🔥

But the significance of this day goes even deeper.

Professor Scott will officially award Andrew Menard his First Degree Black Belt—a full-circle moment representing over 10 years of dedication, vision, and commitment to building Kaizen Academy and this community.

One seminar.
One promotion.
One unforgettable milestone.

⚠️ Space is extremely limited, and this event is expected to sell out quickly.

If you want to be part of Kaizen Academy history, now is the time to secure your spot.

🚨 Everyone wants the submission… but nobody talks about the CONTROL. 👀🔒

This week at Kaizen Academy, we kicked off our Back Control series, focusing on what really matters—maintaining the position.

I’m a firm believer that if you can buy yourself more time in dominant positions, the finish will come. 🥋⏳

Instead of chasing submissions, we focus on control, pressure, and preventative maintenance to shut down escapes before they happen. As your opponent gets frustrated and starts to panic, their defense breaks down… and that’s when the submission opportunities naturally appear. 💥

🎯 Position first. Submission second.
Master the control, and the finishes will take care of themselves.

👇 What’s your favorite submission from back control?

The art of eight limbs — Venice, CA

Two thousand years of refinement, distilled into four weapons: fists, elbows, knees, shins.

Muay Thai gets sold as a fight gym thing — all volume, all spar, sink or swim. That’s not how we run it. We teach it the Kaizen way: fundamentals first, every level, so the technique actually holds up when the pressure’s on. You don’t need gear, experience, or a contract to start. You just need to walk in.

Mon · Wed · Fri, 5–6 PM. Your first class is on us.

Most people think Jiu Jitsu is about learning techniques.

It isn’t.

Jiu Jitsu lives in the details—your body position, your balance, your timing, and the transitions between movements. Every technique is simply an expression of those principles.

The rest is learning how to move your body with purpose, precision, and efficiency.

Master the movement, and the techniques begin to teach themselves. 🥋

Back control feels like a slow-motion disaster — until you stop fighting just their grip and start working the hips. 🧈

That’s the whole secret to the strong-side escape: scrape them off like a butter knife dragging across toast. 🔪➡️🍞 Smooth, patient, low. You’re not muscling out — you’re peeling them off the edge.

Drill it slow until it feels boring, then watch how fast it shows up live. 🥋

Who’s getting back-taken every round? Drop a 🧈 below and let’s fix it on the mat this week.
