Miha Perhavec Becomes First Black Belt Under Keenan Cornelius
It’s been a little over a year since Keenan Cornelius opened the doors on his own gym, the Legion American Jiu-Jitsu Headquarters in San Diego, and he’s already awarded the first black belt of his coaching career. The honor was given to Slovenian Judo black belt and experienced Polaris competitor with a 3-1 promotional record, Miha Perhavec, who has been with Cornelius since the very beginning of opening the academy.
Perhavec has a wealth of experience both in and out of the gi as he’s traveled all around the world to learn from the very best Jiu-Jitsu minds available. All of this was to build on a standing grappling game that would already have given many BJJ competitors fits to begin with. With a strong stable of brown belt competitors underneath him, this is likely the first of many black belts that Cornelius will be proud to award in the coming years.
