What people are saying about the instructor

Franck: The Journey of an Exceptional Martial Arts Instructor

by Gerry Palaganas Jiu-jitsu Brown Belt, Dynamix Martial Arts LA.

Franck, an outstanding BJJ instructor, and I began our journey together at Rickson Gracie Jiu Jitsu in LA. His dedication and expertise over the years have been evident, showcasing his evolution in BJJ. Beyond martial arts, Franck's diverse talents in Judo, Muay Thai, Kendo, BJJ, Music, and Art set him apart, complemented by his intense creativity. His teaching brilliance lies in simplifying complex concepts from various disciplines, delving into philosophy and principles, enriching the learning experience. Training alongside renowned instructors like Rickson and Kron Gracie, Cobrinha, and Shawn Williams, Franck's commitment to learning is unparalleled, offering a dynamic approach to instruction. Franck's teaching transcends technicality; it intertwines martial arts philosophy, resulting in cohesive, engaging, and exceptional instruction. I confidently vouch for Franck as an invaluable martial arts instructor and am grateful to witness his dedication and contributions through Avant Guard JJ.

Training Under Professor Franck: A Martial Arts Journey

by Phaivan Ha Jiu-jitsu White Belt, Renzo Gracie Los Angeles.

I trained under Professor Franck at Renzo Gracie LA for a year before his move to Colorado. With over 10 years in Shotokan karate and kendo, martial arts shaped me both on and off the mat. Meeting Franck, I instantly respected his genuine martial artist qualities—integrity, sincerity, and a deep passion for teaching. His class became my go-to because I saw how much I could learn. While I picked up techniques from various instructors, Franck was where I felt I could craft my own BJJ style. His teaching exuded grace and style, and I cherish the brief time I spent training under him. Now, I eagerly continue learning from his online videos.

Empowered Learning with Franck: A Beginner's Perspective on Jiu Jitsu

by Tom Preston, Jiu-Jitsu White Belt, Grand Valley Jiu-Jitsu Grand Junction.

I am an older student with no experience in martial arts and recognize the physical nature of Jiu Jitsu, so it's important that the instructor understand my limitations. Franck understands.  Not only is he a master at martial arts, but he is also an excellent instructor.  Franck reinforces concepts through repetition and frequent drills, ensuring that students get it right before moving on.  He is a natural at teaching, easy to understand, engaging with his students, and always in command of the class, making sure that students get the most out of class time.  Learning Jiu Jitsu is not an easy undertaking, and I probably would not continue if I didn't have Franck as an instructor.

Unveiling Clarity and Expertise in BJJ with Franck

by Jim J.,Jiu-Jitsu White Belt, Grand Valley Jiu-Jitsu Grand Junction.

Franck is an incredible instructor and practitioner of jiu-jitsu. He is able to convey concepts and techniques with perfect clarity while maintaining a profound level of detail. Anyone interested in bettering their BJJ would do well to learn from him.

by Hatem Ben Abdalah Jiu-Jitsu White Belt, Avant Guard Jiu-Jitsu Los Angeles.

Franck's approach to teaching jiu-jitsu is deeply rooted in his kind and patient personality, which greatly enhances the learning experience. Franck is an amazing teacher with a generous and kind heart. In my opinion, Franck stands out as not just one of the best instructors in jiu-jitsu but also as one of the best individuals one could encounter. His expertise shines in both group classes and one-on-one sessions, with the latter being a testament to his personalized teaching approach. What makes Franck truly remarkable is his ability to extend his knowledge beyond jiu-jitsu, embodying the qualities of an impressive pedagogue and mentor. His insights, guidance, and style have been invaluable to my personal and human growth. In conclusion, Franck Louis-Marie is a phenomenal teacher and mentor whose impact extends beyond the classroom. I am confident that he will continue to inspire and positively influence everyone who has the opportunity to learn from him.

Training with Franck: Embracing Jiu-Jitsu Combatives at Renzo Gracie LA

Jessica Arabi, Jiu-jitsu Brown Belt, Renzo Gracie Los Angeles.

Franck is an amazing coach and professor. I had the pleasure to train and learn from Professor Franck back at Renzo Gracie Los Angeles. Professor Franck truly demonstrated the Jiu-Jitsu Combatives Program, and it was a pleasure learning from him.

Franck:Lifelong Martial Artist and Self-Defense Visionary

by Kenneth Liu Jiu-jitsu Brown Belt, Gracie jiu-jitsu Los Angeles

Franck is a life-long martial artist in the truest sense. While he is a black belt in both judo and Brazilian jiu jitsu, he has never let his curiosity about self-defense be limited to any one single discipline or modality. He has trained in striking and stand-up disciplines like Muay Thai boxing, Filipino stick fighting, and kendo, among others. He has also sought to find other effective forms of self-defense, such as the use of firearms. In his martial arts journey, Franck has sought self-defense in a variety of disciplines with a critical eye for effective practical application. Now, I am elated to see Franck share the culmination of his perspectives and wealth of knowledge in self-defense training with the launch of his online training.

Franck: A Living Embodiment of Martial Arts

by Steven Calderon Black Belt, Jiu-jitsu coach at Renzo Gracie Los Angeles

Having trained and taught side by side with Franck I can say he is my dictionary definition of a martial artist. A true student of the arts, Franck has a passion for teaching self-defense and self-confidence in a positive and exciting manner. His approach to teaching and training is thoughtful and open. Franck is truly a black belt both on and off the mats and I would highly encourage anyone with the opportunity to train with him to do so.

Empowered by Franck's Training: How Martial Arts Saved Me in a Neighborhood Crisis.

Craig G., Jiu-Jitsu Blue Belt , Grand Valley Jiu-jitsu Grand Juntion.

I credit Franck’s classes for helping to keep me safe just months after I began with him when, on a walk around my neighborhood with my young children, two guys wanted to fight me over an issue with their dog. Because of my training, I had the composure to negotiate the crisis and walk away with my pride. I literally went straight to Franck’s training in the moment. I highly recommend his teaching. Not only is it technical, but he presents it in a way that is highly professional, and he brings a ton of energy.

Beyond the Mat: Transformative Lessons from Franck's Jiu-Jitsu Course

Ben Krumpelman Jiu-Jitsu Blue Belt , Grand Valley Jiu-Jitsu, Grand Junction.

What makes Franck's course special is that his lessons were rarely limited to the mat. Yes, his fundamentals-focused program has been immensely beneficial to my martial arts practice. This is largely because he places such a great emphasis on movement, breathing, simplicity, and quality repetition. These same aspects have been just as foundational and impactful on my life outside of the gym. Franck brings great energy and caring attention to every class, drill, and student. But it's the value of his lessons on and off the mat that makes his teaching so powerful.
