RONIN: The Year of Keenan Cornelius (Full Film)

Originally airing July 2020, RONIN chronicles the tumultuous season Keenan Cornelius experienced both on and off the mats in the twelve month span of 2019. Told entirely through archive interviews with all the participants, behind the scenes footage and featuring never before heard perspectives about the drama that unfolded in 2019 and beyond.
It was the year Keenan left Atos to forge his own path, the year he went ronin and trained all over the country, the year he took out Meregali and cemented himself as a contender, the year he started a new chapter with Legion Jiu-Jitsu in San Diego, the year he grew even closer to jiu-jitsu after realizing his full potential. It was the Year of Keenan Cornelius.

I dont know why we dont see a lot more of Keenan. I always thought he was one of the better jiu jitsu guys around. I love watching his techniques

[@froggy3496]

He retired to focus on his business dawg

[@Matto_Harvo]

Agree 💯. Love Keenan

[@MBsr5]

ibjjf kept screwing him and adcc guys on roids like matheus diniz,craig, Kaynan duarte, gordon etc so Keenan decided to focus on Legion his new academy, us students and other businesses

[@bine35]

gordon said he's super lazy and doesn't like to train hard

[@shrimuyopa8117]

The dude has never won a Worlds title and he receives tons of attention. However there are guys out there that have won multiple Worlds titles and Flo doesn't even know that they exist. Don't get me wrong, Keenan is really good and has had a large impact on the sport. However he is better at marketing himself, more than he is good at jiu-jitsu. Which isn't a bad thing, just don't get it confused.

[@upsidedowncoasters6537]

I love training under Keenan and his team at Legion. I don’t care about the politics or anything it’s a great academy and I’ve grown a lot in my jiu jitsu.

[@greysaku]

Congrats brother...hell yeah

[@JIUJITSUDAREN]

Its nice to see Flo finally stopped blowing New Wave/Gordon and are finally focusing on other talent.

[@user-ry9sk2gh3q]

the way keenan transformed jiu jitsu forever is priceless. amazing athlete to look up to!

[@Halpal565]

so Keenan is basically the eddie bravo of gis

[@lelanddupuy8296]

Damn. That’s deep. But true. Way more accolades. But true.

[@richkrupansky1339]

Good analogy

[@ThePimpedOutPlatypus]

😆

[@Baptpich]

Yeah, less drugs and alcohol just

[@GaryHost-qs9pg]

Yeah cept he has more nogi accomplishments

[@mixxeerr]

To me his match with Meregali is one of the best strategic matches ever. As I got better, I only appreciate this match more and more due to understanding of the levels of the game.

[@MrJumboHumbo]

Check out his cornerman for this match Dan Lukehart of Brea BJJ. A very underrated coach. His student Nolan Stuart will make big waves at black belt.

[@andrewbaez1413]

crazy to see him explain the entire match after facing merogali. Keenan's game is just as much mental as it is physical, respect!

[@jiujitsuboxer]

Great video flo. Thank you.

[@DL-gh1ic]

Wow very well produced. Loving these new full film features

[@bestkoreanjesus]

Keenan really helped the sport grow. Thanks flo!

[@jreyes3674]

Thanks flo!! Keenan definitely is a much bigger influence to the growth than I originally thought of.

[@OURWORLD4EVER]

Really enjoyed his breakdown of the fight

[@MadeGains]

Great documentary

[@arodmcgraw94]

i feel like so many places and people to train and so little time.

[@mohamedbensalem9185]

Beautiful content showcasing OSS

[@zeehutt7876]

I felt this. Switched academies to one where I felt appreciated and heard all the slander the gym I left launched my way. At my new place that stuff ain’t tolerated and I’m with people who share my “let’s EARN it together mindset”.

[@jbevolve2023]

Great Film!!!

[@DiaryOfaCell]

I will never install clash of clans.

[@armandovela4415]

Bro, what the fuck what do you mean? This guy is never won a worlds before? I’m blown away.

[@andrewgrignon826]

What a cool dude.. I'd love to train under him.. his innovation is very affective, I love playing lapel guard when I get the chance

[@somed655]

Keenan is the only one who doesnt have to buy a GracieBarra Gi to train at GB 😂

[@ninjamonkey1]

If Keenan went to train with Danaher, we would prob be an ADCC champ

[@kalikaputra]

He did and he still didn't win. He can be champ without danahar and would destroy most of danahar guys with the gi.

[@JC-nx4eq]

Excellent Words 🤙🤙🤙

[@ThruTheWire2]

Keenan used to smoke Gary Tonon in gi and nogi in the Kumitie tournament back in the days. He Might have had weight advantage tho. Keenans OG

[@kennydoorye2586]

Most definitely had weight advantage 😅

[@samhangster]

Got robbed over the Brazillian decision.

[@OURWORLD4EVER]

Everyone does

[@jwc7178]

Was about to comment this

[@davedave8608]

heeee's baaaaack

give Keenan his Flo account back

[@aplacetobewithmythoughts7428]

Keenan is still yet to win an IBJFF Worlds at black belt or ADCC - the biggest Gi and No gi events in the world

Rip leandro

Is this from like 6 years ago?

[@grantgrant8554]

our beloved worm lord

[@rollsgracie268]

It’s a toxic mentality for a teacher to tell you can’t train in the places it only benefits him isn’t that the truth it doesn’t even benefit him. He’s just too dim to realize it not enough light rolling around up there. This philosophy ruined my career in the 80s 90s no doubt they knew I was talented and they looked at music trader because I jumped around from school to school because I wasn’t dumb. I could tell they weren’t really showing me, the truth really caring about the students I just didn’t bump into the right place. Such is life. All is well.

[@MrThecordeiro]

Influenced generations. Changed Bjj

[@adamjohn12]

Watch Keenan vs Trovo from Pans 2022, his only match since 2020... Keenan has cross-ashi with double trouble, and loses the position trying to leg lace as a submission. Lots of bizarre decisions.

[@KJ-cn4bq]

IBJJF kills the best gi american glapper of the history.

The best gi grappler in American history is that dude Mikey Musumeci

[@guillermomeyer2424]

@@MBsr5 I love and respect Mickey and I have nothing but good things to say. but I am a believer in "Legends revolutionize the game", and for me that's what Keenan has always done. a as creative as technical, to the point of ridiculous. In his fight against Gaudio, I think the resolution was too unfair... the IBJJF should have better ways to solve these situations.

The worm god 🐛 🪱

[@ramirolopez3029]

Lets hope be doesn’t have a big match coming up. Don’t want the flo curse hitting my boy

[@tristanlebret8034]

why is the guy screaming alemao?

[@CyranoVE]

That's Merigali's nickname Alemao means German in Portuguese. Blond people are sometimes called alemao in Brazil.

[@gerrymanda983]

That's why no one will remember Leandro

[@ParkerPPipe]

So ATOS basically Dillon Danissed Keenan? Say it ain’t so

[@ThugLifeModafocah]

The only thing that I dont like about him was his statement about Rickson being just a purple belt if he competed nowadays...

[@BobBob-il2ku]

I mean that’s true

[@kalikaputra]

No it isn't

[@rollsgracie268]

Spending my time in LA till the UFC started cooking and then they all pretend like they were all givers and I’ll teaching you will the whole time bullshit

[@CC-qx5mi]

If that fight with Meragali were at WNO, Meregali would have won bc of the back take, aggressiveness and submission attempts. You can tell the mentality of an jj athlete when they say stuff like: "if i could just survive that blitz, and not get scored on, i had good back take defense, and I got good triangle defense". Glad Meragali dumped ibjjf, their ruleset is a joke.

[@pantloaded]

dude fell of the face of the earth

[@perhapsavailable]

America as an "accepting" country....Just roll, Keenan.

[@kerpal321]

i think its over for him

5:00 "I think he would do good over at John Danahers" & Keenan like's to train chill & not stick to a schedule? Whoever is doing this commentary very clearly hasn't been around John very much 💀
