“Ted Osburn, first degree black belt really knows what he is doing. He breaks down movements so that you really have a clear understanding of what you are doing. Why you are doing that movement, and what you are accomplishing. Can't wait to enroll my son in the program!!!!”

“Ted has trained me and my two daughters. Under his instruction we have multiple gold and silver medals from tournaments and the sense of accomplishment and confidence that my daughters have now is priceless. Ted is very good with children and does a great job breaking down all of the techniques for children and adults alike!”

“I have had the pleasure and privilege of knowing and training with Ted for over 20 yrs. You will not find a more detailed oriented and passionate instructor. If you train in BJJ long enough you will realize that instructors are generally either good teachers or good practitioners, rarely they are both. Ted is that rare breed of refined teacher and excellent practitioner. If you actually want to learn the art, I highly recommend you train with Ted.”

“I took Ted’s class because I wanted to get into a physical activity that I would learn something from. I never expected to have as much fun as I did, or learn as quickly as I did. When I joined I was in a class with people from all different skill levels and Ted did such an amazing job at teaching us things that everyone benefited from regardless of how far along they were. Anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu should look no further than Life Jiu Jitsu.”
