Florian Martial Arts Center

Florian Martial Arts Center is led by head instructor and owner Keith Florian, with support from Kenny Florian—a former UFC title challenger known for his cerebral approach and success across four divisions. Located in Brookline, the academy has established itself as a place where egos are left at the door and learning is taken seriously, with a focus on both physical skills and character development. Kenny Florian’s experience as a top-level competitor and coach shapes the teaching philosophy, emphasizing discipline, respect, and a thoughtful style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Classes at Florian Martial Arts Center are structured to accommodate a range of ages and experience levels. The Beginner GI BJJ class offers a foundation in traditional gi techniques for adults new to the art, while more experienced students can take part in no-gi sessions that focus on the faster-paced, submission-oriented side of BJJ. Open mat times are available for adults to apply what they’ve learned and explore techniques in a less formal setting. The academy also supports young students, with kids’ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes divided into groups for ages 5–9 and 9+, giving children age-appropriate instruction and a safe environment to build confidence and skills. In addition to BJJ, Florian Martial Arts Center offers striking programs and private training for those interested in rounding out their martial arts education. The facility features high-quality mats and maintains a clean, safe training space. Drop-in visitors are welcome, making it easy for travelers or locals to join a session and experience the “Florian Way” firsthand.
