The lapel-guard inventor. Innovation as identity.
Keenan Cornelius's style
Keenan built a unique gi game around worm guard, lapel lassos, and the Squid Guard — entirely new positions that forced opponents into chess they hadn't studied. World champion at brown belt who turned into one of the most prolific gi-game innovators in BJJ history.
