Kaizen Academy

Progress rarely looks dramatic. It looks like showing up, paying attention to the details, and getting just a little better than yesterday.

That’s who we are at Kaizen.

Every round, every rep, every roll is another opportunity to refine our movement, sharpen our mindset, and trust the process. We aren’t here to beat our training partners—they’re the people who help us become better versions of ourselves. Iron sharpens iron. 🥋🔥

Huge thank you to NĀKOA FIGHT CLUB for sending over a care package to test out their tape! 🙌 And yes… they even have a Kaizen design. 🤙

We put it through a sweaty, high-intensity training session, and it didn’t budge. No peeling, no slipping—just solid performance from start to finish. Definitely impressed. 💪

🚨 You don’t get better by watching. You get better by rolling.

This is where technique gets exposed, adjustments get made, and real progress happens.

Every live NoGi round is a chance to test your timing, sharpen your reactions, and build confidence under pressure. Win or lose the exchange, you leave the mat with something to learn.

No egos. Just hard rounds, great teammates, and the pursuit of getting 1% better every day. 🥋🔥

“Details Matter” 👌🏼✅

It’s something I was taught early and I truly believe makes a difference in relating the information to students. Experience tells us what details matter, but being a good teacher comes in how you deliver the details in a manner that translates to the student.

Does your teacher/professor/coach teach the details or just say “secure the back”?

🥋 Thinking about starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but nervous about jumping into live sparring? You’re not alone. 👊

That’s exactly why we added our new Gi Fundamentals classes at Kaizen Academy.

Whether you’re brand new to BJJ in Venice or looking to build a stronger foundation, this class is designed to help you develop confidence before you’re thrown into the deep end.

Instead of just learning random techniques, you’ll understand the fundamentals, positional goals, and concepts that make rolling make sense. As your confidence grows, we’ll gradually introduce live training in a structured, supportive environment.

⚡ 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.
