Oregon Grappling Arts

"My daughters recently started learning Jiu Jitsu at OGA and they really enjoy the fun challenge of the art. The gym is very spacious and clean perfect for wrestling and rolling around. Coach Eddie, Hannah and Courtney are the best instructors and basically magicians at tailoring moves for any level and pairing up the appropriate partner in wrestling rounds. There is lots of feedback given to the kids on refining moves in a safe manner. At the end of the class kids are acknowledged for what they did great and what coaches appreciated seeing done on the mat. I feel the coaches genuinely care for the development of the student and ample attention is paid to each one. Highly recommended Jiu Jitsu instruction for kids and youth."

"I dropped into a class on a visit and I couldn't be happier about my experience at Oregon Grappling Arts. The facilities they have are beautiful. Hannah, a truly accomplished competitor, taught a fascinating class. It was amazing to learn and get personal feedback from someone who has had success at such high levels. She and Eddie were both awesome rolls, as were their students. You can tell they all enjoy learning together and taking care of each other, while still going hard in this wonderfully violent sport we practice. If you're visiting, you'll be treated well here -- I felt welcome from the moment I stepped into the gym. If you're local and looking for a new place to train jiu-jitsu or start your journey, I'd bet my life savings that this would be an incredible community to join where you'll go far fast. Top-notch instruction and super cool people. Love it."

"My son wanted to learn martial arts but didn’t want anybody to punch him in the face. This led us on a quest to find a grappling gym, which we found here. There are a lot of weird people in the world teaching jiu jitsu, but not here. Eddie and Hannah are amazing. Their gym has a culture of respect, patience, pride, and support. The kids cheer each other’s successes as their own, the attention to safety is top-notch, and my son’s has never left a class without a smile on his face."
