I love this place
The best first Gym I could’ve asked for. Everyone was welcoming as well as cooperative.
This gym is awesome, great people and a great place to learn!
Great place, very welcoming on my new day here at the gym. Coach Jarred was very helpful with everything, greeted me to everyone and was very respectful. Highly recommend this place!
Best gym in Oklahoma! If you’re not at coach Jared’s noon class then what are you doing!
This Gym is Awesome 🔥💯
The environment is one that welcomes and encourages all walks of life. The culture here is solid!!
Clinch is a great place to learn BJJ! All the coaches are knowledgeable and friendly. Friendly atmosphere, a great place to make new friends and learn self defense skills.
Best jujitsu school I’ve been to. Elite, respected, and kind coaches. A good place for everyone to learn. 👍👍👍
Great gym! Amazing coaches! Coach Ryan is very detailed and technical. Coach Peppe will get you in shape fast. Coach Christian is something special. Straight killers at this gym! Always loved martial arts. But because of them I'm obsessed! Thank you guys!
Best place to train love being there Christian and Dan and Jake are great bjj coach's 11/10 recommended
Clinch is an amazing gym with not just top tier instruction, but also is a place where everyone is welcome and they cater to the entire spectrum of experience levels, ages, backgrounds, you name it. I walked in the door two years ago not knowing anything about jiu jitsu or a single person there and the awesome staff and students have made it a home away from home! The cherry on top is I’ve lost over 50lbs and had a blast doing it!
Great place to train with high level instruction
Have been a member of Clinch for nearly 5 years and would say it’s been such a huge change in my life. The coaches are fantastic, people are friendly. Great family atmosphere. You’ll learn a lot and work hard all while having fun.
I went in my with Dad to watch him do one of the Jujitsu classes. I was there just to watch and support him. Great environment. Very friendly. There were a few different male instructors that came up to me and introduced themselves and asked if I needed help or had questions. As a very small young woman I can say that none of them came off as anything other than respectful and kind to me. I genuinely enjoyed my experience for the two hours I hung around. I do plan to go back soon to watch another one of my Dad's classes.
This place is phenomenal! Great instruction and welcoming community.
A martial arts gym is only as good as its instructors, and the instructors here are first class. Great atmosphere and facility.
Teaches focus & discipline in highly -engaging group environment. Kids' class includes both boys & girls ages approximately 5-14. Several adult coaches supervise and participate in activities with students. Coach Christian is both personal and professional. LOVE Clinch!
Great gym, the instructors are amazing and create a awesome atmosphere. The MMA coaches are veterans of the fight game and are world class, especially Ryan Hoover.
Best gym in Oklahoma 🙏🏻
Lo mejor de lo mejor
Christian and the other coaches have been awesome. I have been attending coming up on 6 months now and can’t get enough! Top notch instruction and leadership.
Where do I start.. great facility, great culture and great coaches! I started training here about 2 months ago when I moved states, I trained 4 years before at a very good gym in Texas so starting off I was scared it wouldn’t be the same or it wouldn’t be as good compared to my previous gym. I was wrong! The MMA coaches Jared McLoughlin and Ryan Hoover are outstanding and pay close attention to detail, my technique, fight IQ and confidence have all improved tremendously since I’ve joined and I’m just blessed and grateful that I was able to find such a place to train! From beginners to advanced, rather you want to do it for self defense, get in shape or to be a fighter this is a perfect place to do it all, with a friendly staff that makes you feel right at home!
Clinch is a five star all the way. Family oriented and the coaches are very knowledgeable.
Best and True Black belt in this Country
Highly recommend. Christian, Dane and the rest of the staff are fantastic.
Fantastic instruction and a great facility!
El mejor lugar el más Chingon para entrenar ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟥🟥⬛️⬛️
Great environment, my kiddo loves it!
I like clinch because I feel this place has helped me climb towards my goals of being a ufc champion. I’m also getting better at coming out of my shell socially after classes here.
This place is awesome! Great staff, great people
All the coaches are amazing. I love Coach Christian’s coaching style. He is firm and playful at the same time. The kids respond really well.
My sons (ages 6 & 10) and I have been training at Clinch for about 6 months. As a new Jujitsu student this place has become more than just a Bjj gym. The camaraderie among the students and parents is one of the most compelling reasons you should train here. The coaches (staff) are very proficient and professional. I am proud to be apart of this team known as “the clinch army.”
This place has awesome coch's. I recommend this place.
All around the best place to train in Oklahoma for any level, beginner to black belt. Amateur to Professional.
I Have 3 kids training at Clinch, I couldn’t be more impressed with this gym. I can see growth in all aspects of their life since we started BJJ @ Clinch. From the 6 year old to the 14 year old, each one walks away from class with knowledge of their lesson and a smile on their face.
My kid loves coming to classes! Great coaches that can really communicate with children.
Always a Good roll
This is my home bjj gym. No matter where I end up living this will be home to me. I’ve known Christian and the group for several years, and they always welcome me and treat me like family. You’re not going to find a nicer or better bjj instructor. If you live anywhere in the Tulsa area, this gym is worth driving to. At least come and cross train. Also Christian and I are both from the Mississippi Delta, so what’s not to like?
Experienced coaches with a great ability to train at all levels. Professional and friendly experience, would definitely recommend to any beginner or accomplished fighter.
the coaches at this gym are incredibly knowledgeable and so helpful to everybody!! the facility is large and extremely clean! would HIGHLY recommend clinch
Only a 5 star review will do. The coach’s are great with a depth of knowledge that keeps me continually interested. The facilities are some of the best. Both I and my daughter train at Clinch. It’s been awesome to watch her skill and confidence grow. The camaraderie of the of the classmates is the icing on the cake. Big things are on the horizon at CLINCH!
Coach Dane and Christian are both great instructors, and all the students are friendly and competitive. Great atmosphere and all the instructors are respectful and encouraging and very helpful! Would highly recommend this school for beginners and high level athletes alike. good size, good workout equipment, and very high quality athletes!
I love Clinch and I love coach Christian! Clinch is a great place for beginners and experienced martial artists!
You won’t find a better place to train in town! Clinch has a little something for everyone, whether you just wanna get in shape or become a serious competitor.
This is a place where you feel at home and welcomed. It's ran very professional and the coaches are amazing at what they do. My son and I have had an amazing experience here and plan to train here for many years! They have the best Jiu Jitsu in the 918 and the best up and coming fight team in all of Oklahoma!
great staff and coaching, I have had nothing but positive interactions with fellow students and the coaches, Its a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
Coach Christian and his talented staff of martial art practitioners demonstrate excellence in each class at Clinch Martial Arts Academy. They have all been encouraging, professional and provided an exceptional education for my son and I. Adult and kids Jiu- Jitsu are great classes for both beginners or experienced students. I have been treated with respect and support during my 3.5 years here. Highly recommended!!
We enjoyed it very much
I place to better yourself. Its very rewarding, because what you learn you get to keep for a lifetime.
Great place very friendly
When I’m out of town and you pick a random gym I’m always hoping to pick a gym that has a fun and inviting feel. Good news, this time I found the place! Chris teaches in a fun, light hearted, and detailed manner. Right away people rolled with me like I’ve been a member for years. I’d give this place 6 stars if I could.
Management is very hands on and helpful, very beginner friendly environment, 10/10 would recommend!
I love my gym an my family at clinch Martial art they really focus on you an what you want out of your training.. an a coach that specializes in every different type of art.. hands down best high level Martial arts academy in Oklahoma if not the u.s. strongly recommend to anyone
Great place to learn and practice Jiu Jitsu. Friendly and professional atmosphere. Coach Christian does a great job of teaching everything from fundamentals to advanced techniques.
This place is Always welcoming and feels like home to every member of Clinch . Coaches are professionals,super Kind and very helpful
Not necessarily attempting to get sentimental however; coming to Clinch has done more than teach me combat. It's taught me to grow as a person and how to respect others who are not only professional but new like myself. I can't recommend this place any more. Thank you Clinch for taking me in.
Great place. Great coaches. All at a great price!
Excellent instruction by wonderful people who care.
A facility that cares and will teach you the best way they can. The coaches there will work you, but at the end of it all, you're part of the family. 10/10 would recommend
Great place to train, learn, laugh, and roll. I love the people here, they're all awesomely welcoming and fun to learn from. It's a comfortable environment with great teachers who love what they teach and make you excited to be there.
Coach Derr is very good at teaching jiu jitsu and provides a positive environment for everyone - from beginner to advanced. There are a good group of people at Clinch that help you in learning and in your training.
El mejor lugar para entrenar excelentes maestros💪🏻
Trained here for about 8 months and have had a great time. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Been going to clinch for awhile now and I wouldn’t won’t to go anywhere else. Great coaches who genuinely love what they teach and everyone is more then willing to answer any questions you may have. You come to clinch to learn, work hard, and join a team of driven individuals.
Great learning environment. Everyone there seems to have your best interests in mind when it comes to learning the art of Jiu Jitsu.
This is a great gym, all the coaches and students are super helpful and friendly. They make jiu jitsu accessible to anyone willing to learn and be respectful to others and themselves. If you're thinking about trying jiu jitsu, just do it! It will increase your body awareness, core strength, confidence, patience and it's probably the best cardiovascular exercise I know of!
Very humble place, great peeps I'd call family. Always welcoming and some of the best jiu-jitsu technique in Oklahoma.
Christain is a great Thai boxing coach he's got a good energy keeps it fun and a good pace
Great coaching! Safe and clean place for families or serious adults to train. If your looking for a place to teach you great technique, Clinch is for you!
Clinch is so awesome, you really learn so much technique
I have only great things to say about Clinch. Christian is an awesome coach and the gym has a very welcoming and friendly learning environment. Do yourself a favor and check them out!
Christian is a superb teacher that cares about the people in his academy. After the first class I attended I felt comfortable and welcomed by his core group of students. Christian's leadership extends down to the members of his academy. Safety and technique are of the utmost importance. I cannot say enough great things about Clinch in Owasso. Great facility, check. Great atmosphere, check. Great teacher, check. Great overall experience! Don't hesitate giving it a try no matter how new to the sport you might be or what kind of fitness you have, you won't regret it.
Incredible group of people here. Christian is the nicest teacher, huge emphasis on safety and self defense. I came a complete newbie and I always felt welcome. The whole atmosphere of the place feels like family. Can not recommend these guys enough. Also, Google Maps sometimes says the place is off of 76th street. It’s actually off of 86th and Main Street!
Clinch in Owasso is an amazing place to learn grappling or striking. The men and women that coach are some of the best in the world at the sport and teaching. Learning is a fun process at clinch. The environment fosters competition and friendship. If you are considering trying mma, I urge you to go into clinch Owasso. It’s the perfect place for beginners or UFC veterans.
I have nothing but good things to say about the instructors at the Owasso Clinch location. My son has been involved in their program this year and has matured by leaps and bounds. I am thankful to the staff for not only providing instruction but providing instruction around when and how to use the art responsibly. I am thankful that my son has such a positive role models to look up to and a class full of students who are eager to help him find success. I highly recommend the studio to anyone who is interested in superior programs and positive experiences.
This is a top notch club and group of instructors! I love their dedication to the sport and all of its members. They are able to teach at all levels of the sport whether you are a first timer or a wiley veteran. Their positive frame and personal touch makes this an amazing club to work out at!
Clinch is great. A friendly environment for adults & kids. My 6 year old attends here & loves it. He loves working & learning from Coach Christian & all the other coaches. They are all patient & caring while fostering discipline, respect &, of course, awesome BJJ skills!
Clinch is an amazing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school and the head instructor Christian Derr is a fantastic black belt under Jean Jacques Machado. The school is very professional and you will improve with consistency training with a variety of awesome people ranking everywhere from brand new to seasoned black belts. Can't recommend enough!
I started my Jiu-Jitsu journey when I was fifteen and a year later started Muay Thai kickboxing as well. Fast forward four years later and I have NEVER QUIT! Out of the experiences in life I have had thus far, Clinch is the place that I can actually fit in.The people I train with are like a second family. We are always so welcoming to anyone to wants to try Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai, or boxing. Self defense especially for women is very important to learn, not just to beat someone up that is threatening you, but to fight, get out of that situation to live another day. I have competed in several Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and I very much enjoy the atmosphere of the gym.
I got into BJJ for two reasons: I needed to get into shape and I wanted my son to learn self-defense. I’m a vet and have had a couple deployments break down my body. BJJ is a great workout - keeps mind and body engaged. Coach Derr is a phenomenal instructor and is great for any/all skill, age, and physical fitness levels. After a few short weeks, my flexibility is better, strength/core is better. And my son loves it. I’ll see you on the mat...
Clinch is a great place to train. Christian and the other coaches are humble, caring, and always engaged to help you apply what you are learning. The other students are extremely welcoming immediately and take care of each other. Also, the child classes are excellent and they make them really fun for the kids. I can't say enough about how good my experience continues to be and I highly recommend Clinch.
The coaches are very personable, and do their best to make you better each time you come in. The coach instructing shakes everyone's hand before starting the session. The people create a great environment to learn in.
I’ve been attending Clinch for 6 months now. When I first contacted Christian Derr, own and chief instructor/black belt, I told him I was 57 and was this too old to start BJJ. He laughed and said I was 57 yrs too young. I was welcomed by all when I first walked in the door and haven’t looked back! From Professor Derr down to the lowest white belt there is an attitude of learning and safety in a very friendly environment. At 57 yrs too young or too old BJJ has changed my life! It will change yours too!!!
Clinch has helped me in so many ways. I started BJJ because my son wanted to study martial arts. From the moment we walked into Clinch we felt like we were family. Coach Christian is an amazing teacher and has more patience with the kids than many others I’ve seen. He has an amazing staff of that give their all to help you an any way they can. Take a minute and come check it out, you will be hooked!!!
I highly recommend Clinch if anyone is thinking of starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The coaches are great, the atmosphere is friendly, and people of any skill level will be challenged.
Clinch is an amazing place to train! Coaches are great, friendly environment (as friendly as a martial arts environment can be at least hahaha), and provides an indescribable workout! Come join and have some fun!
I've been training at clinch for about 3 years. It's fantastic facility with top notch instructors and a great environment. Whether you're looking to compete,learn to defend yourself, or just get into shape, its an awesome place to train
If you are questioning whether or not you want to come check out Clinch, just come. If you don't like it you don't have to come back, but Christian makes it hard not to enjoy. Everyone is encouraging, helpful and fun to be around. If your looking for something fun with good people this is where you want to be!
The atmosphere at Clinch is encouraging, focused, and positive. Christian is one of the best coaches I've encountered in any sport. Great place to learn.
You will not find a better Instructor in the Tulsa area! Christian has done an amazing job of creating a welcoming atmosphere for anyone wanting to train in martial arts. From kids to adults, white belts to black belts everyone who trains here will welcome you with open arms. The hardest step is stepping on the mats for the first time. Please come in and see what they have to offer!
Clinch is one of the best Brazilian Jujitsu academies in Tulsa/Owasso areas. Classes are taught by head coach Christian Derr, black belt under the world renowned BJJ master, Jean Jacques Machado. Everything is ran professionally here, and of course Christian provides top notch quality instruction. Everyone, including coaches and students, are very helpful and they all take their time to explain how and why certain techniques work in different positions. Clinch also holds BJJ seminars, where they invite some of the best people in the sport (Machado, Bernando Faria, etc…) to come and teach special classes. The training space of the academy is large, clean and has enough room for rolling. In addition to BJJ, Clinch also provides Boxing and Muay Thai, if you are interested in getting an overall MMA style experience. You can get all that in one place from friendly and talented instructors. I highly recommend Clinch for anyone who is interested in Brazilian Jujitsu or learning self-defense.!! You will be addicted !!
I am not a student but my husband and friends train at Clinch Martial Arts Academy. Occasionally I would stop by to watch them train or attend the in house tournaments. When my kids and I arrive, Jake and Christian always greet us with a smile. No matter your age or fitness level, join Clinch Martial Arts Academy. Christian will help you reach your goal. I have witness his students receive their stripe and belt. To see his students work so hard to receive theirs belts all the way up to Black Belt is a huge accomplished. If you want to try to compete, Christian is there with you all the way to the end. It becomes one BIG BJJ family at Clinch Martial Arts Academy. BJJ toughens you physically BJJ builds mental toughness BJJ teaches you to be humble
I have been training at Clinch Martial Arts for almost 6 years, this was my first introduction to jujitsu and I couldn’t have pick a better training facility and welcoming instructor. Christian’s passion for jujitsu shows in his teachings, it is also reflected in his students and their performance on and off the mats. This is a family friendly atmosphere, and after 6 years of training in this family friendly atmosphere my teammates are now family and I highly recommend Clinch and Christian’s teachings to anyone wanting a challenge.
I have been a student at Clinch for 2 years. Clinch is a great place for anyone that is interested in competing or just want to learn jiu-jitsu for fun. They also incorporate self defense which I believe is very important. Above all, Christian is a great and humble teacher. We are very lucky to have him here in Owasso. I highly recommend Clinch Martial Arts Academy to everyone.
Every time I step foot into clinch i feel great vibes from great people. I love seeing my clinch family. Even when I don't show up as much as I'd like to, I still get a warm welcome. Awsome place, very knowledgeable coaches, and great environment for family and friends. If you want to better yourself in any way Clinch is the place for you!
I have so many good things to say about this gym. From the coaches down to the students. I was always the visiting student from another gyn but I was treated as if i belong. Christian has never hesitated to coach me when available and has always helped me out with anything and the same is to be said about all of the other coaches under him. It didn't matter if I was preparing for a tourney or just normal training. There is a tremendous amount of respect in that gym. It doesn't matter if your a man or woman, day 1 white belt or a 10 yr black belt everyone is shown respect. There is something for everyone. It doesn't matter if you are training to be the next world champion or just training to keep in shape there is a class for you.
I couldn't be happier with my choice to roll here! The coaches and everyone that attends are amazing! I was new to BJJ and nervous being a woman and far from the standard athletic build. I was pleasantly surprised with how patient and excepting everyone was! This experience not only gives you great life skills but let you meet fantastic people in the process.
Clinch is a great place to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing and self-defense in general. My husband and I have been training for almost two years now. Christian is an incredible coach who cares about his students and makes everyone welcome. I highly recommend Clinch!!
