Best Mma Gym near Norman, Oklahoma

Best coaches that truly care about your child! I highly recommend Jackson Lee Academy for anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu and tumbling as my child has learned so much in a short time! They advance quickly but the coaches are amazing about focusing on every student individually! We have loved coming here and it has been a very good experience.

Coach Ken & Mike have not only built an academy, they have built a community where you feel like you belong. They truly want every person that trains at Jackson Lee to be a success, on and off the mats. Their youth program offers the correct fundamentals in a positive driven environment. We’ve tried every gym in OKC after moving, being extremely selective. It took us 6 months to finally find a competitive, family friendly jujitsu academy. I look forward to my family training at Jackson Lee Jujitsu Academy. If you’re in the OKC area I highly recommend anyone looking to better themselves in a like minded community to train there as well. Best coaches! Top notch atmosphere! Extremely clean and maintained! Check your ego at the door!

Amazing environment. Extremely tough lessons. Extraordinary coaches. Clean and refreshing look all around the gym. This place is perfect for martial arts enthusiasts. Whether you’re training for confidence or training for a career this place has it all and will help you succeed and get to where you need to be. The coaches push you and help you learn important lessons that can be used outside of training which isn’t something you’ll find often in other gyms. Don’t let the price scare you away from achieving your goals, they have a ton of different options and will do whatever they can to help you find the best plan for you. Jackson lee academy isn’t just a martial arts gym, it’s a place to feel welcomed and be treated with honesty and respect. I see the people here becoming like family some day.

Great team of coaches, professional as always, very friendly atmosphere. Always willing to help and always the prices are very fair. I can’t recommend this place enough to friends and family. Wish all gyms were like this. God bless

I should not have been asked to sign ANY contract for 1 month or 3 months while attending a FREE class when I already entered my info online prior. We attended ONE class out of 4 we paid for & were charged a 2nd time for 4 additional classes from the date of the FREE class. I called & explained the situation & was assured I would be refunded for the 2nd month. Never happened & never any follow up call as promised once it was handled. While signing up I was assured I could cancel at any time. Ive since been told I signed up for 3 months contract. Never my intention especially with zero knowledge with how class would be/go. Fact of the matter I was assured a refund. I didn't use the classes. I can also post pics/videos of how chaotic it was with one soft spoken, young instructor & MANY children of different skill levels & age ranges but I just wanted my refund as promised . Didn't have to come to any of this. Classes weren't for us. What's right is right.

My kiddos have gone here for around 7 months. Coach James is so encouraging and has helped my children thrive and fall in love with the sport. My kids look forward to BJJ days and happily show off their skills. My 7 yr old daughter has really thrived and now has confidence she never had before.

1000% I recommend this gym . We visited on an open mat on Sunday and the owners Sam and James are warm and welcoming - their entire team is a pleasure to be with , and worked with my son who has special needs without batting an eye . I appreciate a place that makes you feel like family - and we will definitely be back. If you’re in the Norman area- I highly recommend!

My wife and I have visited 4 different gyms before landing on James White Fitness. The first place we went, the owner couldn't remember our names after being there 6+ months and that didn't sit right with me. The second place started out great but due to my child's autism and ADHD, he was spending more time being reprimanded than he was being instructed due to the militant style of the teacher. Not for us. After a single night at James White Fitness we knew this place was different. James' approach to teaching the children was playful yet disciplined, fun but safe. He creates an environment of team-building and inclusion in a sport that can often hyper-focus on the individual. My wife and I often joke that if Mister Rogers taught Jiu-Jitsu, his name would be James White. Before long, my wife and I joined my son in learning and we all started competing together and I can't stress enough how much of a life changing experience it was. The community, dare I say family, that James and Sam have created is so much more than just a gym and my entire family is better off for having experienced it. If you're just looking for jiu-jitsu lessons, there's plenty of places in the area. But if you are looking for an experience that will give you and your children friendship, discipline, community, and personal growth, you can't find a better place than James White Fitness. Believe me, we've looked.

My daughter goes here and absolutely loves it! Everyone is always amazing!! Sam and James are amazing! They make everyone who comes into their gym feel like family!

In my experience I had at this particular gym for jujitsu and martial arts I found every single detail to be decent except for the one most important thing. Cleanliness. My forearms broke out in hives within the first half hour of rolling. Cleanliness is extremely important and critical for general health and is something that is unethical to not maintain. People deserve, and should expect to be treated better and feel reassured that they will not develop health risks like ringworm.
