Welcome,
My name is Ken Davis
– Kilo Delta BJJ Head Instructor
Kenneth Davis Jr. (Ken) began his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey in late 2007, training under Grande Master (Mestre) Wilson Mattos black belt André Correa in Chantilly, Virginia. In 2009, Ken had the privilege of traveling to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for a team training seminar at Equipe Mestre Wilson’s Academy, where he received his first belt promotion directly from Master Wilson. Throughout his journey, Ken has trained with some of the most respected instructors and practitioners, including Dave “The Rock” Jacobs and Abmar Barbosa.
From 2016–2017, Ken trained consistently with Dave “The Rock” Jacobs until his passing. In 2017, Ken was promoted to Black Belt by 2nd Degree Black Belt Professor Songura Kini “Grandhino” Cole (IBJJF 3X World Champion, 3X Pan Am Champion, 6X Abu Dhabi Pro). He was later promoted to 2nd Degree Black Belt by Professor Cole, further cementing his expertise and dedication to the art.
In 2017, Ken relocated to Myrtle Beach, SC, to continue his career in law enforcement. By 2018, he accepted the role of Head BJJ Instructor at Fitness Edge MMA/Roberto Traven BJJ Association. In 2023, Ken and his wife Meghan founded Kilo Delta BJJ, where he leads the academy with a vision to combine technical excellence, discipline, and community.

What Is BJJ?
In the early 1900s, Japanese Judo made its way to Brazil. Whereas Judo consisted primarily of throws and takedowns, it also incorporated some ground fighting and submission holds. Certain Brazilians who learned Judo at this time realized the effectiveness of this type of ground fighting and invented new techniques that focused on this particular aspect. Thus Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was born.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) was soon recognized as a very effective form of self-defense. By closing distance, taking an opponent to the ground, using leverage, and applying chokes and joint locks, one could defend himself or herself against a larger or stronger opponent. This martial art is thus considered one of the best forms of self-defense. Knowing BJJ is even a necessity for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitors.
BJJ is relatively new compared to more popular martial arts. As a result, BJJ is still rapidly growing, developing, and evolving. Each year we see new techniques being utilized at the highest level of competition.
