Sheepdog Jiu-Jitsu — Local services in Tulsa

I have been going to Sheepdog for a month now and would absolutely recommend it to anybody wanting to learn a self defense based martial art.

I have worked in the security industry for several years now doing everything from bouncing at bars to executive protection. In this time I have taken several self defense courses. I have also made my way out of a few life threatening situations up to stopping an armed robbery and preventing the aggressors from getting back to their stolen vehicle before law enforcement could arrive. Sheepdog Jiu-Jitsu has really done a fantastic job in taking what I thought I knew about self defense and brought it all the way back down to a baseline through realistic training. This isn't choreography styled self defense. You drill, but you also have the opportunity to pressure test what you've just worked on so that you don't gain an unrealistic idea that a technique will just work instantaneously. The gym is a clean and safe environment for all no matter their level of skill starting out. Instructors are great at making sure everybody is on the same page and have no problem walking you through new techniques. The students will not injure you as everybody is there to learn and improve. If you're looking for a gym don't wait! Join Sheepdog Jiu-Jitsu and get the training you need to be prepared for whatever life may throw at you. Thank you Blake and Micah for being exceptional trainers! It's been a privalege to train under you and I can't wait to continue learning and progressing with...

I’m 51 and have trained Jiu Jitsu a little over 7 years total. I started at Sheepdog last September. In just a few short months, Blake, Micah, Glen, and Jeremy have sharpened my technique in both ground and stand-up considerably. My overall fighting and self-defense skill set has become more well-rounded and I am definitely “harder to kill” than I’ve ever been. Being older and one of the smaller grapplers (5’6”, 160lbs), avoiding injury is an important consideration. The instructors make sure everyone can train safely. The environment is always respectful and the other students are tough as nails, with several taking home gold, silver, and bronze medals at the last AGF tournament. I’d trained with Blake at other schools over the years and always enjoyed his teaching style. His decision to open his own school is an awesome opportunity for the Tulsa community. Whether you’re starting brand new or been training a while and want to level up your skills, you gotta...

I would highly recommend Sheepdog Jiu-Jitsu for children. My 6 year old son started when wrestling season ended and it has been a blessing. We used the free lesson to see what it was like and haven't looked back. Professor Hayes and Stockton are caring, phenomenal teachers, and extremely patient. Each class there is time set aside where the kids grapple with a partner to implement what's been taught which is crucial to learning how to use the moves in real life situations. My son looks forward to practice every week and it has become a way of life for him. Thanks again to everyone at Sheepdog for being so welcoming and creating a family...
