I really cannot say enough about Keith Florian as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor. Before my first lesson with Keith, I knew that he was a successful instructor at the highest levels, that he had improved and honed the skills of world-class athletes. I was unsure how he would react to someone at my (much) lower level of ability.
Within the first few minutes I had the impression that Keith was very patient, very friendly, and most importantly, very, very good at analyzing and improving jiu-jitsu. It’s been over a year, and my impression has never changed. I have enjoyed every single lesson with Keith, and my skill level has improved every time I’ve been on the mat with him.
There is no question that Keith is gifted in his understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and just as gifted in his ability to convey his understanding to others. It is very rare and very fortunate that students at any level, that athletes of any ability, now have the opportunity to train with an elite instructor like Keith. Take just one class with Keith, and you will see what I mean. Train for a month and see how quickly you improve.

My experience training with Keith Florian has been incredible! He understands that everyone is different and knows how to connect with you on an individual basis. Honestly, I could go on and on about how much respect I have for Keith, but to keep it short I'll say that Keith just "gets it" when it comes to teaching.

The Florians'
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills have impressed me for a while
now.
When I learned
they were opening a martial arts center, I jumped at the
chance. I moved from my home state of Maine to Boston, not
knowing anyone here, but I've met a lot of great people at
the school. Keith and Kenny's classes are taught with
enthusiasm and the lessons are focused on detailed step by
step instruction in the techniques. I've been doing martial
arts for years and I'm amazed at how students with no
background in martial arts progress quickly. There's a
tremendous amount of positive energy and potential at the
Florian Martial Arts Center.

“Joining Florian Martial Arts Center
(FMAC) was the best decision that I have ever made. In a
period of 3 months I have lost over 25lb and I'm in
the best shape of my life. The confidence, athleticism and
knowledge that you gain when walking through the door is
unbelievable. This gym is like no other because here you
train with professionals and learn to become one. If you're
looking to change your life inside and out this is the place
to be. “
