Oddball Jiu Jitsu

Oddball Jiu Jitsu in Long Beach is guided by Professor Roo, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt who emphasizes discipline, respect, and personal development as core elements of training. The academy approaches BJJ not only as a competitive sport but as a practical and transformative art that supports growth and confidence in everyday life. This philosophy shapes a structured environment where students of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to progress at their own pace. Classes at Oddball cover a broad range of age groups, including kids starting at age four, teens, and adults. The curriculum balances gi and no-gi training, with dedicated sessions for each, alongside a kids competition team for those interested in testing their skills in tournaments. Instruction focuses on fundamentals while allowing room for intermediate and advanced techniques, ensuring a clear progression path. Drop-ins are welcome, and the facility is wheelchair accessible, reflecting the academy’s inclusive approach. Beyond regular classes, Oddball Jiu Jitsu supports individual growth through personal training options and maintains open communication with students to adapt offerings over time. The academy’s emphasis on practical self-defense and real-world application complements its competitive and technical training, making it a place where Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu serves as a lifelong practice rather than just a sport.
