Jacen Flynn

Meet Jacen Flynn, one of the head honchos at System Jiu-Jitsu. With a 10-3 MMA record and victories over the likes of Dean Lister and Denis Kang, the guy knows his stuff. He's been in the Jiu-Jitsu game since '96 and became Craig Kukuk's first black belt in 2006.

He's a dad to two and a devoted husband. His love for Jiu-Jitsu and fitness isn't just a hobby; it's a lifestyle he's keen on sharing.

Nick Kugelman


Say hello to Nick Kugelman, the other head coach at System Jiu-Jitsu. Training since '04, Nick's got skills—he was Jacen Flynn's first-ever black belt, awarded in 2015.

When he's not choking people out, Nick's a dad of two and soon-to-be-married. Off the mats, you'll catch him sipping energy drinks, snacking on beef jerky, or gaming.
