Inside The Vibes

"Great place for beginners to advanced and beyond. Amazing team!!! The people are all fun and have their own skill. It’s a great learning environment for everyone. Kickboxing is taught by great teachers also! Looking forward to seeing more of it in the future! BJJ is super fun and it can get very intense and I love how we all learn from each other. Not a cocky ego environment at all, but a great open minded, happy, & competitive space! I love working with Ross, Nate, Jacopo, Mike, and all the others that are a part of this journey!! And not to mention it’s a Kung Fu space. So there’s tai chi, weapons, and so much more!!"

Devin McHugh

"Oak City is an excellent studio for anyone interested in BJJ. Ross and Nate are incredibly knowledgable instructors, bringing together a creative learning environment for those at all skill levels. They've fostered a school that is uniquely balances self-development and respect for others. It's easy to see they are truly passionate for seeing their students learn and excel. They offer a free first class trial to anyone interested in trying but without the commitment -- but really, you're going to want to join after that first class. And if you're interested in kickboxing, Jacopo brings the heat! Can't recommend Oak City BJJ enough"

Alejandro Alston

"Great gym with great coaches that foster a positive environment. Extremely welcoming community of people that they’ve assembled. If you’re looking to break into combat sports for any reason this is your place."

Samantha Faulhaber

"Ross is a once-in-a-lifetime sort of student/teacher. He goes above and beyond in his pursuit of knowledge across disciplines, and has the kind of calm, measured cool that you want and need in a martial arts instructor. Easy to talk to, walks the walk, stands strong in his principles for what’s important, and stays humble. Plus he has like a million years of body knowledge to draw from, hugely helpful in all the practices!"
