- Legion San Diego is the newest super-academy on the block. Follow the owner and founder of this fine establishment as he gives you a glimpse behind the scenes.
At 10.000 sqf it can hold quite a few jiu jitsu students. Students of all ages, genders and experience levels.
We have people training here now that have been doing jiu jitsu for 10+ years. We also have people who have been doing jiu jitsu for 10 days. Take this tour with Keenan to get and idea of what Legion offers and what it will offer when it is 100% built out.
We are starting a 8 week beginner course on January 6th! Make sure to secure your spot here: legionajjsandi...

This is like the greatest gym of all time
Dude you haven't seen Stephen Wonderboy's gym.
Check out Renzo Gracie Academy in NY before...
Congrats, Keenan. You’re a great asset to the San Diego (and world) jiu jitsu community.
Amazing space, great to see that Jiu-jitsu is creating opportunities for young people to take control of their own futures. Wish you all the success in the world.
They don't know how you pioneered the meta for jiu jitsu youtube content!!
Most gyms don't look like this because the owners want to save as much money as they can so they can make the biggest profit. Keenan needs money and a job, we all do so he needs to profit. BUT, he's sacrificing some of his money to make his customers as happy as possible and because he loves jiu jitsu. He's doing it because he loves BJJ and is willing to sacrifice some money so people have the best experience. This is the man you want to learn from.
Thanks Bane, this this is really nice to hear coming from a respected super-villain.
meh he will go bankrupt
@@nainoa2323 I doubt it. He's willing to put in the time and effort. I never been to an academy that had 2 trainers per class, it means less money in their pockets, they love BJJ so much they want everyone to be satisfied at Keenans place. He's willing to add classes at will and doesn't mind spending all day there, try finding another BJJ academy like that. I've seen BJJ academies that have 1 class of BJJ 4x a week. Most people open an academy to make money, he's doing it because he loves BJJ. He said he saved up all his money to do this. He must have made a fortunate from BJJ! He can make a living from seminars and his online website alone and he can make a lot through them. He has youtube. He has a podcast. He has sponsors. So anything he makes from his academy is a bonus for him.
These trainers are making a ton. Do you have any idea how much Keenan can make off private lessons alone? My former instructor was not an elite level grappler and wouldn't qualify for ADCC; he's charging 100 dollars an hour..........People are actually paying this. Imagine what 1 of the most popular grapplers can make. Another guy near me made it to ADCC but lost, at the trials, he's charging 150-200.
He's not going to go bankrupt.
I am legitimately impressed, Keenan. I know a bit about the risk of these kinds of endeavors and respect your spirit and confidence to move forward.
My kids love you, watch your online videos all the time. Can’t wait to take them there one day to train
Keenan the professor is very well spoken :) and people all around world will b able to understand him easily unlike others. Your gym is ultra modern, best of luck.
Having a place for kids is awesome. Hopefully this catches on with other academies
Moving to San Diego just to train here.
Feels like a place w a great vibe. Congrats Keenan much much success to you. You deserve it.
You're truly creating a sanctuary, Keenus. You're awesome! I hope to visit someday!
yes a kids play area all gyms need this, it would make my life so much easier. The kids get to play and you basically lead them to train when they come of age
6:28 I'm guessing recovery room i.e sports massage and physio
Coming out in February 4-8th and I can’t wait.
Nice video , San Diego is a great place I just got back. Love it there
Lots of success! Regards from Brazil.
6:28 Gordon Ryan and Andre Galvao Secret "Juice" Room...💉💊
Orlando Sanchez would have a coke room
This place is unreal. So impressed.
man grate love it bro im so happy for you man!!!! i want to come an get some work in! man im happy for you
did you make an updated video tour yet? I'd love to see what the gym looks like now and the "secret area"
Thank you Keenan, place looks great, hope to stop in if I'm ever back in SD.
P.S. I have the same philosophy with weight training, for body slams. 😉 I watch alot of pro wrestling.
Oss! I love your philosophy and teaching style. I will visit one day. - Purple belt from Atlanta
So much thought has gone into this gym, would love to train here if I had the chance!
Can’t wait for Legion vs ATOS in competition
I want to move from the uk to here
i’d live and train and work in this gym all day
Beautiful place love the Rig set up!
So happy for you Keenan. You deserve all of this and more. Good luck to your academy and I hope to drop by one day and get my ass whooped by everyone.
This gets me excited for the future of Jiu-Jitsu. I guess my next vacation is San Diego??
Nice brother! Hopefully I can drop in and train for a little while with you. Also I would loooove to try out that in-gym Açaí shop!
Womns locker room should have glass wall and no doors but other than that it looks ok
Doing it big I see ,nice place
Well thought out. 👍
Wow! Can’t wait to see it
Wow what a gym. You definitely don’t skimp
I like the format and layout ideas that acai station was something I was thinking I just didn't get back too
Cant wait to move down there and just train with the Legionaries one day
I remember training at a place like this in Orlando called Orlando Brazilian JiuJitsu (old Coach being Bruno Malfacine, who I got my blue belt from) and this place reminds me a lot of my original gym. If I ever move out to California from Florida, I will DEFINITELY train at this gym. Beautiful, and functional training sessions. Congrats Keenan, wish you the best of luck this coming year in your business endeavors, clearly you've put A LOT of thought into this.
PS
Where have you been with the Podcast!?!
Congrats on the gym, it's going to be really nice.
Kids play area is game changing.
Congrats! Keenan 2020!
"We're making this the podcast room. It's gonna be super sick...[pauses]... and really cool." 6:16
10/10
Great work !
Another reason for me to move to SD! :D
So many thoughts put into everything, it's amazing! I'd love to have a children's playground at my Gym too, in a couple years 😃 only thing I not understand, you need a kitchenette for the staph. Is that because there are no showers?🙂 Guess that is the difference between an American and an European gym? People here complain if there are only 2 showers 😅
Wow congratulations!
World class, like everything you do
dope as all hell
Good luck with your gym Keenan. Looks super sick! Wish i could come and train there, but im from Norway so its quite the trip. Ill be sure to make it some day though, looking forward to it. Big love from the North.
There ya go ! Worm guard treating you right
🤘🏿🐸🤘🏿
AMAZING
Go Keenan go Keenan go!
Congrats Keenan Cornelius
Do they wrestle here?
@John S can u tell me a grappling match where this happens???
@John S im talking about a grappling match. And what about ben askrin vs that bjj guy
thanks for thinking of privacy for the ladies!
Keenan is the man . He is the man. Look at that front desk 😐
Dorms?
Quality
Genius! 2:23
Keenis
Love how he lays claim to the matburn podcast. Tbh he is the main host 😤
secret project is probably dorm for people to move in to train 24/7
jiujitsu x room
Awesome
will there be a needle exchange program?
5:28 Oh hey Mark!
Damn a child care area. That's dope.
Matthew Van Helden this is what really curtails my training. Most BJJ places don’t have a child watch area. This will get his student numbers way up.
@@Carlos-fh8wk me too
We are Legion
Dunn da Dunn da Dunn dunn dunn
6:28 Roid room? Jk
Haha if it was at atos
Sick!
Damn boy, I bet membership 200 a month in San Diego with a baby sitting gig
Should open up a laundrette next door and pay someone to run it.
Neat.
Secret project you can't talk about is def the spot for recording instructional dvds etc
Dope
sickkkkkkkkkk
Miramar!!! dammit!!!
Yreeeea keenis
👌🏾👍🏽🤙🏾
"American" Jiu Jitsu!
Your ears remind me of bubble gum. Nice gym too!
sorry about ur ears my guy
Lol his right ear is most distasteful
Hi keenan can you adopt me plez
Upload the podcast dammit!
Noice
AJJ? kkkkk clow
First
And lapel guard anything is dumb
why AJJ instead of BJJ? do you feel entitled to call it American since you've shared so many techniques?
Not only that He believes that no people all over the world are training jiujitsu and start to differenciate each other again we should go back to naming the whole thing jiujitsu and then more specifically the word before is just the country your style is from. So its not about what he has done but rather the whole American community what has been a Lot.
I would put my money on it it's because he's letting people know it's more Americanized with an American culture that doesn't follow ridiculous traditions; this can make a place feel like a cult. If you ever hear someone say jiu jitsu is a cult, there's a lot of truth to it, but luckily places are opening up now moving away from the cult idea. Places that are more Americanized are much better environments. Calling your teacher "sensei" or "master" is just none sense. Bowing before you step on the mats is even bigger non sense. Some academies will say you can't train anywhere else, most academies will say you need permission from your instructor to even visit another place. You see insane traditions in the schools that are run by a Brazilian.
Some of these Brazilians don't realize that we pay to be there, we don't have to be there. They'll treat it more as if you're a recruit trying to become a police officer. There's a very large incentive to go through the non sense the trainers at police academies put you through, the yelling and other bogus BS. But the drop out rate for BJJ is extremely high and you're only making it higher when you treat people like trash because you think it betters them but all it does is disrespect/annoy them.
I've never experienced the hardcore traditions, I experienced very light traditions at my first school such as asking permission to train elsewhere, nothing bad. I knew early on I can't take traditions so I went to an Americanized school. But I have heard horror stories from people who have trained at places with traditions that I train with now or I did train with.
Awesome
