Our Instructors

Sessions Jiu Jitsu was founded in 2023 by Black Belt and lead instructor Kevin Goodwin, and Brown Belt, Craig Hanna.

With close to 25 years of combined jiu-jitsu experience and mindsets dedicated to continually learning, Kevin and Craig provide an environment that is committed to teaching and sharing Gi and NoGi grappling to anyone looking to train and learn, regardless of skill level.

Kevin has been training Gi and NoGi Jiu Jitsu consistently since 2007. He is a certified Black Belt by the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) and an accomplished competitor with experience in IBJJF tournaments, superfight matches, and podium finishes at multiple regional tournaments. While still passionate about competition, his attention has been more focused on teaching, coaching, and helping his students achieve their own training goals.

In addition to training and teaching Jiu Jitsu, Kevin is also a Registered Nurse, has a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology, and is CPR/BLS certified.

“Jiu Jitsu is truly an art and, in the right environment, surrounded by the right people, it can change your life! The benefits of training are immeasurable. Opening Sessions gives us the opportunity to share this thing we’ve grown to love with our community!”
