Oddball Jiu Jitsu

Highly recommend this training studio and coach! Classes are offered at great times, instruction is extremely thorough, members and staff are friendly, and the kids classes are unparalleled! Coach Arun is the best coach I've worked with - very thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. He has a way of teaching you techniques (simple to advanced) in a way that you can understand and will make sure you get it right, whatever it takes. He's trained not only myself, but my kid, and we both are so grateful to have the opportunity to train and learn with him.

I have been training ju jitsu for 5 years. I dropped in on an open mat and was immediately struck with how welcoming the atmosphere was, and how well the gym was maintained. The professor was very technical, knowledgeable; and sparring with him was very fun. If I lived in Long Beach I would definitely train here.

Came to Long Beach from Texas for a tournament and happened to find Oddball on Apple Maps. After calling several other gyms Shoshi was very kind and helpful in working out a time for us to train. The owner, Arun, an experienced blackbelt, was super welcoming. He was kind enough to allow us to train off schedule and provide advice on techniques. Its obvious he loves the sport and wants to make people better athletes. Im grateful to have found this gym and anyone who is local and able to train here regularly would be very lucky to have a coach like him who truly cares about his team and building their skillset. Anytime Im in town I would love to drop in again in the future. Thank you Shoshi and Arun!

I've know the head instructor Roo for almost two years now and he's one of the best coaches I've ever had. His knowledge in both Muay Thai and BJJ is extensive. He will train you hard but also is very accommodating to your skill level and the personality you bring to the school. I've really enjoyed starting BJJ these last few months as classes are nice, small, and intimate which makes for more focused learning and a community environment with your fellow trainees as opposed to the large crowded classes you might get at another school. If you're a shy person like me this is a very ideal place to train. High recommend for all levels of martial artists out there.

Oddball Jiu Jitsu is the spot!! I have been training with the owner Arun for over 10 years in both Muay Thai & BJJ. He is the nicest, most humble person you will ever meet, but make no mistake. He is a killer on the mats. He is as skilled as they come. A REAL black belt in jiu-Jitsu and has a lifetime of experience fighting in the art of Muay Thai. Whats even more impressive than his resume is his ability to teach. I have witnessed him for over a decade teaching everyone from 6 year olds to high level professional fighters. He treats everyone with the same level of respect, no matter what their skill level. I highly recommend Oddball for anyone who wants to train in a friendly environment that is not full of meatheads and ego.
