Jiu Jitsu Academy Of Stillwater

“Truly a great group of people and coach. I visited this gym while in town for work, and these folks were just wonderful. Very welcoming and including. The jiu jitsu training was absolutely fantastic and I hope to be back next time I’m in town. If you’re a local and looking at self defense or martial arts, this is your gym and these are your people!”

“BEWARE! I prepaid for 2 months through my daughter's charter school and asked if I could pick a later date to start after the vacation was over. The funds were received and I was told later classes would be fine. After telling them when I'd like my daughter to start and asking what her schedule would be, I stopped getting any response. The chosen months passed, and I finally received an email from someone stating they looked over my last email. I asked about refund options, and yet another month passed and no one is responding to my emails. I have reached out multiple times with no response. This place does not do business well at all, and apparently will keep money paid without any intention of fulfilling the courses.”

“The best home gym I could have ever hoped for! When I first walked into Edgar’s gym 3 months ago, I was super nervous and unsure about just what I was getting myself into. Walking out of his gym today, I’m a more confident and present person. Coach Edgar’s love for BJJ is evident from day one and his patient and welcoming personality immediately puts you at ease. He teaches not only the physical aspects of BJJ but also the emotional and mental ones as well as going over breathing and balancing exercises, boxing and basic self defense. In his gym, he facilitates a safe and invigorating atmosphere while also encouraging you to push yourself and to ask questions. If you’re on the fence about joining Jiu Jitsu Academy of Stillwater, I urge you to just go. You won’t regret it! Also, to get the best bang for your buck, I highly recommended the Saturday yoga class taught by his wife Melissa! Thanks for being such an awesome first coach!”

“Coach Edgar Escalante is amazing and the whole team is supportive and awesome. Coach Edgar addresses the physical and emotional challenges of learning BJJ and displays great patience and support for those practicing at all levels. No matter what level you are—from beginner to advanced—there is a place for you here and you’re always made to feel welcome. My BJJ family and my training at Jiu Jitsu Academy of Stillwater has been therapeutic to me on so many levels! Highly recommend!! There are adult classes, kids classes and yoga available at this location. Every one of those absolutely worth checking out!”

“If you want to train Jiu Jitsu in Stillwater, then this is the place to go. This academy feels more like a family than a business. The instructor is not looking out to make a quick buck. He is very passionate about Jiu Jitsu and fitness in general and truly wants everyone to succeed in this martial art. The instructing is also very good. Personally, I competed in a tournament and did very well thanks to the quality instruction. Anyone who competes representing this academy will do well. The facility itself is very clean, and everyone gets along very well. You will also receive a lot more one-on-one instruction than any other place in the region, and the academy suits all experience levels, beginner to advanced. There is a one week free trial, so if you are considering Jiu Jitsu, then just stop in and give it a trial shot with no cost to you whatsoever; you won't regret it!”
