Ross Winningham
"Did a drop in traveling for work for the week. Brad and his student welcomed me in as their own and I was able to get some great roles while away form my home gym. 10/10 would recommend for anyone wanting to try bjj or just traveling through Tulsa."
Joshua Turgeon
"I can’t say enough good things about Brad at Burdette JiuJitsu ! Brad is truly exceptional—both as a teacher and as a person. His passion for BJJ shines through in every class, blending technical expertise with a warm, encouraging approach that makes everyone feel welcome, from beginners to seasoned practitioners. The Christian values woven into the academy’s culture create a supportive, uplifting environment where students grow not only in skill but also in character. Classes are well-structured, focusing on technique, discipline, and camaraderie, all while fostering a sense of community rooted in faith. Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, learn self-defense, or join a positive, family-like group, this academy is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!"
Joshua Poullath
"PLEASE READ! I've been training BJJ for over 4 years now. I am a 32 year old blue belt (on the cusp of purple). I've been to several tournaments (won some gold and bronze, lost some too). I've trained at several gyms (due to moving) and this is by far the best I've been to. The environment is great and clean for dad's and kids to come role which is huge for me. Brad is a knowledgeable black belt and teaches basic (but very practical) high percentage submissions and sweeps. The basic fundamentals are huge to getting proficient quickly. I've been to several gyms now but this one is special, Brad makes this gym a steller environment for us to learn good quality BJJ. One important factor to note is that the instruction is palatable to people of all shapes and sizes which is critical to learning at a good pace. To often other gyms try teaching things that are either to dangerous (easy to hurt yourself or someone else) or only meant for specific body types. Well I'm happy to say you won't find those issues here. Last awesome key point (but not least) is that God is the center of focus in this gym and and I tell you it makes a difference for everyone to have Brad lead a quick Bible reading, reflection, and prayer after every class. Thanks Brad!"

"My daughter and I have cross trained with Professor Burdette recently when we couldn’t make it to our home gym. Fantastic environment with great instruction. If you’re looking for Jiu Jitsu on the south side of Tulsa, check these guys out!"
