Oneonta Jiu Jitsu Academy

“This is a fantastic place to learn Jiu Jitsu. They have a well thought out curriculum that is posted with short videos on their website. You can view these videos before or after class. Each lesson has precise learning objectives and is presented in a clear and concise manner. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.”

“Moved to Oneonta recently, found this gym, and from then on, went three days a week. The instructors here are practical, fun, experienced, and welcoming. Unbelievably happy with the experiences I had. All of the students were also insanely cool, people aren't here to destroy each other, everyone is here to learn. Really wish I could have stuck around indefinitely, but had to move. Can't recommend OJJA highly enough.”

“I’m in the area visiting family for the holidays and wanted to get in a few rolls. After reaching out through their website, Coach Matt responded within minutes, which was awesome. I dropped by for the Saturday open mat and was immediately welcomed with open arms. The team at Oneonta Jiu Jitsu Academy was super friendly, supportive, and made for some really fun rolls. If you’re traveling through the Oneonta area, I highly recommend reaching out to Coach Matt for a drop-in session—it’s absolutely worth it. The family-like environment is a breath of fresh air compared to other gyms I’ve visited. And if you live in the area and want to get into grappling, stop by for a free trial—this group is incredible. Thanks again for such a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

“OJJA is amazing! Coach Christine knows how to keep kids engaged, disciplined and motivated. We’ve watched both our kids grow in many ways through their time here. 10/10 highly recommend.”

“Reached out to Oneonta Jiu Jitsu through Instagram while in town for a wedding. Matt, gym owner, got back to me quickly and invited me in for an open mat training session. The people were friendly, the room was clean, and the skill level covered white through black belt so there was good training available for all people. Would recommend for anybody in the area looking to start.”
