Part of Professor Keith Owen ās charm as a Jiu-Jitsu Instructor was the way he consistently honored Master Pedro Sauer as his teacher.
Here is a video of them sharing the answer to a question about dealing with a technique.
Congratulations to everyone that earned and was awarded the next level at our SUPER Saturday Promotion Event today!!!

It is with heavy heart and great sadness that our Association acknowledges the passing of our dear friend and long-time student Professor Keith Owen.
Keith started training with us during the early 1990ās in Utah, and he has been an important part of our lives for almost 30 years. He personified all that is good in the martial arts, going to great lengths to teach others not only the technical aspects of the martial arts, but also the more important underlying philosophical and cultural aspects. He was such a dedicated student and Black Belt and whenever the name Pedro Sauer was mentioned, he protected the integrity of The Sauer name like a Rhino.
In addition to a large and prosperous school in Boise, Idaho, Keith frequently traveled and was much sought after for his popular and well attended seminars.
Keith was a 4th degree Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu, and he also held a 4th degree in TAI kung-fu and a black sash in Wu Wei Gung Fu under Bruce Lee Student Joseph Cowles. Keith had 11 Jiu-Jitsu Black Belts under him in the United States and Canada, and most recently served in a number of capacities on the PSBJJAās Board of Directors.
In addition to his successful and impactful martial arts career, Keith was a loving and devoted family man. He is survived by his wife of 30 years Shirlane, and his sons Alex (28), Carrigan (26), Chance (25) and his dogs Rodeo and Mac. .
The world was clearly a better place with Keith in it. He will be sorely missed.

Because our Jiu-Jitsu Program focuses on realistic self defense we are always working to inoculate our students against the flood of adrenaline that occurs in real attacks or confrontational situations.
One of the the many drills we employ to develop these areas is our āCriminal Closetā Drill.
We use folding mats turned on their side to create concealment āclosetsā. Then we randomly place attackers (ācriminalsā) or not inside these closets that the students have to open.
By venturing forward to open the closet and not knowing if an attacker is hidden inside the student experiences a progressive dramatic rise in adrenaline just like when a discussion or situation progresses to violence. We add several other conditions to the drill to increase realism. Using this and many other similar drills and techniques we uniquely prepare our students for the reality of the modern world.
We had a great evening kicking off our weekend by doing an interactive interview with the journalism team from Red & Black University of Georgia Campus Newspaper.
We discussed and demonstrated self defense concepts, tactics and techniques that make all of our training unique to effectively deal with real attacks. We answered questions about our unique specialized personal protection programs for women, Law Enforcement, and military personnel.
Thanks Caitlin & Jessica !!!
