Justin
Flores

Born right here in San Diego, Justin Flores started his career in judo at the age of 8 years old. He won many national and international titles as a youngster but decided to pause his career upon entering high school. 

He didn’t stray far from grappling, as he took up wrestling and went on to become one of the best wrestlers in the nation (was ranked #3 overall). He was recruited by wrestling coaches in Nebraska and given a full ride but eventually returned back to judo. 

He went on to become a World team member. He competed in over 30 countries and became the 2004 Olympic alternate for Team USA.

Since retiring from competition, Justin gained global recognition as one of the best grappling coaches out there. He coached the US Judo World Team 3x and made a name for himself as the coach to many UFC fighters (Ronda Rousey, Alpha Cat Zingano and others).

 Lately, Justin has been teaching Keenan judo private lessons, which Keenan swears by. The rest of Legion’s nogi pro team, does 2 extra sessions a week with Justin to stay sharp on the feet.
