Kylan Guerra

If you know Kylan, you know one thing—he doesn’t just call himself a grappler, he lives it. Kylan is the only representative of Faction 9 that is actively grinding in Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu aren’t hobbies for him; they’re a lifestyle. Whether he’s competing, training, coaching, or helping others improve, Kylan believes there’s only one way to get better: put in the work.

Kylan has dedicated his life to the pursuit of wrestling excellence. Beginning his wrestling journey at the age of six, he has spent years developing into one of Idaho’s top grapplers through relentless work ethic, discipline, and a passion for continuous improvement.

Currently wrestling for Eastern Oregon University, Kylan has trained extensively in Folkstyle, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman Wrestling, while also expanding his grappling experience through Jiu Jitsu, which he began training at Blackfoot Jiu Jitsu in 2022.
