Darion McClendon
"Primate is an awesome gym! The team makes sure the gym is always super clean, and that it is a safe place for you to learn a new skill. The classes are challenging, but the coaches are very good at making sure you understand everything and are doing things the correct way. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to learn self-defense or just looking for a more exciting way to get some exercise in"
Tyler Sherry
"I was in Tulsa for a business trip the week of July 28th and decided to do a $20 drop in class on July 31st. Everyone at Primate Jiu Jitsu were super friendly and welcoming, the instructors were on point teaching the class, and overall I had a great time. Great jiu jitsu gym and friendly welcoming environment for out of town visitors."
Jason Clark
"I was assaulted 8 days ago in the one of the Okiewonderland dispensaries in tulsa. Because of my jiujitsu training I was able to defend myself and prevent any injuries. I haven’t trained at primate in some time, but I credit my time at the gym as lifesaving."
Tyler O'Neil
"Update: I've been here for 4 years now. I love the people and the atmosphere. The culture is first class. My son has also been training here for about two and a half years. He started as a very soft, quiet and passive 8-year-old. Now he's become an outgoing, very tough and confident 10-year-old who I know has the skills to protect himself at school if the situation comes up. It's completely changed the kid. It's a very safe training environment for adults and kids. We really appreciate this place."
