KURT OSIANDER
Head Instructor
The philosophy that’s driven Kurt Osiander to win world championships, teach seminars everywhere from Sacramento to Shanghai, and amass a cult following still rings true today — real jiu-jitsu is never watered down. Kurt believes the only way to progress is through persistence.
Whether you’re sharpening your skills as a world-class competitor, improving as a hobbyist, or just starting jiu-jitsu, all are welcome at Empire BJJ. Practicing jiu-jitsu means starting, or continuing, a journey unlike any other. Above all, Kurt believes you should have fun along the way — just don’t expect any shortcuts.
