Fariz Luthfan is the dedicated Head Coach at Kemang Jiu Jitsu, bringing a wealth of experience, passion, and leadership to the mat. A Brown Belt under GFTeam, Fariz’s journey in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu began in 2011 while he was in college. During this time, he trained on and off, as most gyms in Jakarta focused on no-gi classes due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining a gi, which was still not widely available. Additionally, the cost of BJJ training in Jakarta at the time made it challenging for many practitioners to pursue the sport consistently.

In 2016, after completing his studies and starting his professional career, Fariz refocused his efforts on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as more academies in Jakarta began offering gi classes. He earned his Blue Belt in 2018 from Prof. Peter De Been. However, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the temporary closure of his training gym in 2020. Undeterred, in 2021, Fariz and Fina Phillipe founded Kemang Jiu Jitsu, which later became affiliated with GFTEAM Indonesia under the guidance of Prof. Alexander Sumardi.

Recognized for his technical expertise and motivational coaching style, Fariz emphasizes not only the development of skill but also discipline, respect, and a genuine appreciation for the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In 2023, he was promoted to Purple Belt by Prof. Italo Lins and Prof. Alexander Sumardi.

In June 2026, Fariz achieved another significant milestone in his journey by earning his Brown Belt under the guidance of Prof. Alexander Sumardi and Prof. Vinicious “Popeye”. This promotion reflects years of dedication, perseverance, and continuous growth both as an athlete and as an instructor.

Under his leadership, Kemang Jiu Jitsu has become a welcoming home for practitioners of all levels, from complete beginners to seasoned competitors.

Beyond the mats, Fariz is a Certified Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Instructor, fitness enthusiast, website programmer, and digital marketing professional. He actively contributes to the growth of the academy by helping build its online presence and strengthening its expanding community.
