CRA HQ Seminar brings Justin Flores to CRA in Swansea, Wales on September 20, 2026. Flores is a BJJ black belt promoted in under four years by Fabio Santos and a former member of the U.S. National Judo Team from 2002 to 2008, where he was a three-time national champion and Pan American medalist. He later became a head coach for USA Judo's world teams and was part of the team behind Ronda Rousey's UFC championship run. CRA, based in Swansea, was Wales' first BJJ academy, established in 2004, and continues to run classes for both adults and children out of its Fforestfach facility. A judo-heavy black belt like Flores teaching at a long-running Welsh academy like CRA typically means an emphasis on throws, grips, and takedown entries adapted for jiu-jitsu, though the exact gi/no-gi format and belt-level recommendation for this date aren't listed, so confirming with CRA directly is worthwhile.
