Stratos Jiu Jitsu

Stratos Jiu Jitsu in Olive Branch, Mississippi, has built its curriculum around a clear progression from fundamentals to advanced skills, with classes available six days a week. The academy runs a full schedule of gi and no-gi instruction, starting with basics and all-levels classes for adults, then moving into advanced and competition-focused sessions for those looking to challenge themselves further. Specialized programs include a women’s only class led by a female instructor, as well as a structured kids’ program that introduces younger students to the art in both gi and no-gi formats. Founded in 2021 by Will Moss, a brown belt with seven years of experience, and Lori Moss, a purple belt who leads the women’s and kids’ programs, Stratos was established with the goal of helping students invest in themselves and their well-being. Instructor Lucas Funk, a brown belt under third-degree black belt Anthony Mitchell, brings over a decade of training to the team, while additional instructors contribute backgrounds in military and other martial arts. The teaching approach emphasizes technical development, discipline, and the benefits of a martial arts lifestyle, both on and off the mats. Stratos offers early morning, midday, and evening classes to accommodate different schedules, and welcomes visitors to drop in for open mat sessions. The academy also supports local and national initiatives such as Adopt-A-Cop and WeDefy, providing BJJ opportunities for law enforcement and veterans. With dedicated instruction for all ages and a focus on personal growth, Stratos Jiu Jitsu aims to serve both beginning and experienced grapplers in the DeSoto County area.
