About Overcome Jiu Jitsu

Beginning with my first trial class, the instructors and students welcomed me into the group. Everyone has been extremely friendly and encouraging. The instructors knew my name from the first day and have always been patient and meticulous with their feedback to help me improve.

Each class will provide you with a physical and mental workout as you learn and drill new techniques. The curriculum is planned, tailored to skill/experience levels, and well thought out to help you progress. The gym is very nice and mats are cleaned after classes. You don’t have to worry about rolling around on dirty mats here.

The talent of the instructors and their lineage is the highest quality. You will have the opportunity to learn from and train with champion caliber competitors on a daily basis. This gym creates an incredible opportunity for people to learn from instructors who have taught, trained, and competed all around the world. Every person I’ve engaged with here has been friendly and encouraging, plenty of parking outside, and lots of flexibility in class schedule to accommodate anyone.

If you’re looking to train with the best BJJ instructor in NWA and get into shape, this is where you need to be. Professor Italo is a consummate professional in what he teaches, and his record speaks for itself. Overcome is very clean as well, as are the folk who train here. A very positive learning environment. This is not a “McDojo” so expect to work and earn your spot at this school. Respect ✊🏻

In the time I have been training under Professor Italo, I have learned more than any other academy. It is very apparent that Italo and Thamires love BJJ, teaching, and their students. Love is the the binding power behind these doors, and it is love that will see them succeed for a long time. They are both amazing high caliber competitors, and have made me feel welcome from day one. If you’re interested in BJJ please come in and give them a try.
