What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jeff Parra
"I trained under Ted when he lived in Austin back in 2008. I learned a lot of techniques and more importantly principles not only in Jiu Jitsu but in life that I continue to work and now pass on to my students."
H Johan
"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!!!!"
Joshua M
"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!"
Jay Hume
"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."
