Omaha's Academy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“I started my BJJ journey in 2010, training in many professional gyms and under many professional names. Long story short, after going through a hard patch in my training and not being able to find a place to train, I had a vivid dream about a gym where there were people that were training that were sincere and true to one another and the team and brotherhood ethos. Might sound strange, but someone then suggested I check OABJJ out. Upon rolling up to the gym, I was soul struck when I saw that this was the gym I had dreamed about only nights before. I enrolled and have been training here now for over four years. I have been to close to a hundred of gyms all around the United States. This gym, and also the people who make the gym what it is, most importantly - the professor, Dennis Bacon, and their overall dedication to BJJ, and seeing people get better in the knowledge of the art, is why I am still there today, and won't go anywhere else!!! If you are looking for a gym that is family friendly, competition and hobbyist oriented alike - a gym that offers outlets for kids and adults, this gym will be YOUR DREAM COME TRUE!!! This gym will be a place for you to become not only a better competitor or one knowledgeable in Jiu Jitsu, but it will also leave you walking away a better person. Take it from a person that has had many studios to compare to, once again, having travelled and lived all over the US, having seen a wide spectrum of possibilities that martial arts gyms have to offer! This spot is THE ONE!!!”

“My old BJJ professor spoke very highly of Dennis Bacon a few years back before I moved back to Omaha, NE full time.. when I met Dennis, he welcomed me with open arms and provided me a home, family, and place of growth at his gym. If you’re thinking about joining the crew, wait no more… step inside and talk with Dennis. You will NOT regret it.”

“Last year we went on a search for the best BJJ gym in Omaha for our kids. This included research online, visiting the gyms and watching the classes to going to competition and witnessing the different teams and its coaches in action. OABJJ stood out from all the rest. Hands down!! Professor Dennis is one of a kind. He truly cares about his students and wants the best for them. It shows in everything he does. Incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in the sport. I’m a huge fan of the sport and have been for most of my life. Going to the gym and watching Dennis coach the kids is the best part of my day. From the coaches to the students to the parents, everyone is one big family! There is something really special about this gym. We are grateful for professor Dennis!”

“Love OABJJ! Started each of my children at 4 yrs old and they couldn't be happier with professor Dennis and the environment he has created to help everyone who steps into his studio succeed! 100% recommend for anyone wanting to learn a new discipline to come on in and see what OABJJ is all about 🦍”

“Professor Dennis is an amazing coach, leader, and friend. He truly cares about his students and has a true passion for jiu jitsu and people. I’ve personally seen the lives he has impacted in a positive way including my own. Dennis and the people are what make OABJJ special.”
