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!

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!

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.”

Clinch is an amazing gym with a phenomenal coaching staff and great community behind it. Training here has taught me so much knowledge inside and outside of martial arts. Team Clinch is the place to go if you wish to train martial arts at a high level or even just for fun!

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?

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.

Not necessarily attempting to get sentimental however; coming to Clinch has done more than teach me combat. Its taught me to grow as a person and how to respect others who are not only professional but new like myself. I cant recommend this place any more. Thank you Clinch for taking me in.

Great place to train with great people as well. Everyone here is very nice and all of them just want to make you better. No ego exists inside of this gym and if one pops up it gets smashed out quick. An old gym I use to go to was not the best and the owner had the biggest ego I have ever seen. That is not even close to a problem here. Great teachers and people I love this school.

Clinch is a great place. Its a great facility with knowledgeable, friendly, motivated coaching. Coach Christian takes the time to explain the finer points of the techniques and moves he shows you. He is attentive and makes everyone feel welcome. The assistant coaches are great too. The atmosphere with us students is like a family. I tell everyone about Clinch. Come try it out, you might get addicted like me!

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 cant say enough about how good my experience continues to be and I highly recommend Clinch.

My 9 year old son has attended for 5 months. Christian, Mike, Jake, and all the coaches do an incredible job. The change in my sons confidence level has dramatically increased since beginning at Clinch. Tremendous school, led by tremendous people. The best activity we have ever put him in.

Review №42

I’ve tried different MMA gyms in the past. I’ve ever tried bjjj but decided to give it a shot and I will say, this place was a breath of fresh air. I’ve trained striking/wrestling at other gyms and I’ve never met such a great group of martial artists that all leave their ego at the door. The instructor, Coach Christian is as genuine as they come. He did a great job of monitoring/helping me out through my first class. Most importantly Coach Christian and his team made me feel at home. I’d give Clinch 6 stars if it were possible. The reviews speak for themselves. Great gym, even better people. ✊🏼

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!

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.

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.

Review №47

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. Christians 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! Dont hesitate giving it a try no matter how new to the sport you might be or what kind of fitness you have, you wont regret it.

Coming up on 4 years since my son first started going to Clinch. What an amazing experience for him/us. The perfect combination of strategic defense, conditioning, fun, and competitive spirit. The coaches are great and there is a good variety of kids (ages and skill set). Its a life skill that he will carry with him forever.

Ive been going to clinch for awhile now and christian is the best coach around hands down! He always makes you feel welcome and you will know EXACTLY who he is by his laugh! it is absolutely contagious! He explains all of his techniques in great detail and breaks them down step by step to the T. He has taken care of my family and I more ways than he will ever know. If you are looking for a gym just to boost your ego, this isnt the place for you.. now, if your looking for a FAMILY, clinch martial arts in owasso is HOME.

Review №67

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 didnt matter if I was preparing for a tourney or just normal training. There is a tremendous amount of respect in that gym. It doesnt 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 doesnt 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 love Clinch! Ive been training here for four years and never stopped learning or feeling challenged. Christian Derr is a word class instructor! He teaches and structures his classes to all levels and makes everyone feel welcome. We are also very lucky to have Peppe Johnson coaching boxing, he knows boxing and he knows how to push you. He leads fun, yet intense classes. Its a great atmosphere in the gym, support or guidance is never hard to find. I would recommend Clinch to anyone.

Clinch martial arts is one of the most welcoming and positive environments I have ever been in. From day one, everyone accepted me as their own, I have forged long lasting friendships, and gained a skill set that helps me feel more comfortable and safe in any kind of situation I might be in.
