662 Jiu Jitsu

662 Jiu Jitsu in Oxford, Mississippi is led by head instructor Michael LaBorde, a black belt under Anthony Mitchell of the Soulfighters Association. With over a decade on the mats and ten years teaching, Coach Mike brings a deep background not only in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but also in judo and wrestling. His competition record spans state, national, and international events, including multiple first-place finishes at AGF, NAGA, and IBJJF tournaments from blue belt through black belt. Assistant instructor Lawson Brines supports the program, bringing nine years of martial arts experience, a purple belt in BJJ, and a strong competitive résumé of his own. The academy offers a structured program for adults and kids, with a schedule that covers both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Adult classes include fundamentals in both formats, sparring, and open mat sessions throughout the week. For young students, 662 Jiu Jitsu runs age-appropriate classes: Tiny Kids Gi for ages 4–7, Big Kids Gi, and Kids No-Gi for ages 8–13. This progression allows children to start early and build skills as they grow, while adults can train in traditional gi, no-gi, or focus on competition. Classes are held at their University Avenue location, which is wheelchair accessible. Drop-ins are welcome, and visitors will find a schedule that includes morning, noon, and evening options. The academy’s approach reflects Coach Mike’s competitive roots and cross-training background, emphasizing technical development and practical grappling experience for every level.
