Our Story

Odyssey Jiu Jitsu Academy was founded in 2021 and is a family owned and operated business.

The goal was to bring a modern approach to some of the outdated marital arts practices, while having a focus on traditional values, hierarchy and professionalism.

To do away with the outdated paper forms, the joining fees, the high-pressure sales and the cult like vibe.

Today, the Academy isn’t full of people good at Jiu Jitsu (jokingly) but more importantly, full of good people and a great vibe.

Jiu Jitsu is an endless sea, use our Academy as a vessel, to help achieve your potential.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to change lives with the power of martial arts.
