Virtue Jiu Jitsu

Virtue Jiu Jitsu in Oklahoma City focuses primarily on teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to kids through a curriculum that blends real technique with a playful, game-based learning approach. The academy’s head instructor, Coach Brentli, developed this method after years of experience teaching both children and adults. He found traditional drill-heavy classes often cause kids to lose interest, so at Virtue, techniques are taught through interactive challenges that encourage creative problem-solving and keep students engaged. The program serves children as young as five, with separate classes for younger kids (“Tinies,” ages 5-8) and older youth (“Bigs,” ages 9-15), alongside adult sessions. The academy’s philosophy centers on making the mat a place where kids want to be, emphasizing self-expression and confidence earned through overcoming real challenges. This is reflected in their distinctive tie-dye gis, which symbolize individuality rather than strict uniformity. Classes include live rolling and a full BJJ curriculum, with a structure designed to help kids develop both physical skills and mental adaptability. Private lessons are available for more personalized instruction, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. Virtue Jiu Jitsu’s schedule offers multiple weekly classes for each age group, with sessions on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings. Drop-ins are accepted, and the academy encourages families to try a free class to see if their unique approach fits their child’s learning style. The school is located at 6205 N Meridian Ave in Oklahoma City, providing a practical option for families seeking a less traditional but skill-focused Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience for their children.
