What can I say about this place? We first started with Cohesion on a BJJ trial for my 8 year old son. We chose this place because it is veteran owned. Professor Steve made us feel very welcome. Like part of the family. We have been here 4 years now. And it's because of the family like atmosphere. Here, you aren't just a student of a BJJ Academy. You are a member of a tribe. read more

My ADHD daughter trains at Cohesion in BA, and I can't say enough good things about this academy. The coaches truly care about their students & they push them to work hard but always in a positive, encouraging and fun way. My kid has grown so much here, not just in skill and confidence, but also in discipline, focus, and sportsmanship. read more

I retired from 50 years in martial arts back in Jan 2020. I've trained with some great martial artists in American martial arts history, earning black belt rankings in American Seido Karate/Kickboxing/Jiu-Jitsu (from Dale Apollo Cook - World Champion in 5 full contact martial arts arenas, a martial arts Hall of Fame master), KIKS American Karate (Allen Kelly - USA Karate Team World Champion, martial arts Hall of Fame master), Ketsugo Ju-Jitsu (associated with former Navy hand-to-hand combat instructor & police defensive tactics instructor), Chung Do Kwan/TaeKwonDo (former ROK Army soldier). Trained with Jung Nam Lee (RIP, former TaeKwonDo Times editor & owner JLee TaeKwonDo in Ft. Myers FL), Tony Lopez (former Superlight weight Full Contact Karate Champion in mid 1970s), Earl Frazier (master of hard style Goshin Ju-Jitsu). Plus trained in Okinawin Kenpo, Shorin-Ryu, Oh Do Kwan, Kang Duk Kwan (from a former commando of the Tiger Division of the ROK Army & Vietnam combat veteran), and Marine Corps martial arts. Even assisted in coaching kickboxers, to include ISKA World Champ Randy Boom Boom Blake. I helped open 2 TaeKwonDo dojangs in FL & IA. So then, I can make a discernment from my variety of experience ... Steve Matias (Judo Steve) has the experience, personal and professional, to help men, women, and children to learn the art of Brazialian Jiu-Jitsu & Judo. He is well credentialed and recognized in his genre of martial arts. And it's also backed up with his experience in Marine Corps martial arts (taught Marine Officer Candidates at the Officer Candidate School in Quantico, VA), and Krav Maga. I researched his background, because my son started training with him. I am very particular about the qualifications of instructors, since I'm my son's original instructor ... I don't want mediocre instructors, or those who don't positively represent martial arts with their health or life habits, teaching my son - or me. So after a year and a half of research and observations, sitting on the sidelines, fellow Marines (Judo Steve, my son, and Alex Brown) gave me the motivation and encouragement to come out of retirement. This 67 year OLD Leatherneck is back training, and it's benefiting me healthwise - as well as I'm actually learning the details behind many techniques; including both sport and potential street applications. I've begun both BJJ & Judo with Professor Steve Matias. So, you CAN teach an OLD TEUFLE HUNDEN something new! (you can teach an old dog new tricks) I highly recommend the Cohesion BJJ & Judo dojo for this training. It's tough, but you can workout and learn at your pace - you're not forced or regimented into doing what your body may resist. This is YOUR martial arts journey. Professor Steve is here to help guide you on that journey. It's not just a "business" to him. His priority is passing on his skills to you. Come check out the dojo. Observe, as I did. Maybe do a trial class or two. Remember, it's your martial art interests that are priority. Not every dojo offers what everyone looks for to suit their needs and interests. Should you decide to spend some time observing, doing a trial class or two - Maybe, you can become one of (pardon my ingrained Marine jargon) ... The Few, The Proud, a member of a fine group of men, women, and children who train at COHESION BJJ & JUDO in the Tulsa metro area. read more

At Cohesion BJJ & Judo there really is a sense of cohesion and a family friendly atmosphere. The instructor is very knowledgeable in multiple martial arts and is available for private lessons. If you are wanting to level up your physical abilities, mental toughness, and gain good martial art skill, I recommend this martial arts academy. read more

Truly has become like a sanctuary to me. It is a family deal, all five of my kids train as do I. They have grown in confidence so much. It has helped a few of my children who had to go to through occupational therapy excel faster. We have used in conjunction with our homeschooling for their physical education. You learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations, balance, gain strength, practical self defense, and so much more. No matter where you are starting from, you will be welcomed, appreciated, and encouraged along your journey. It helped set my own personal fitness in a great direction. I lost 45lbs with my team supporting me the whole way. You will not be disappointed read more

one of the best coaches around! Teach your child discipline and respect by getting them in jiu jitsu. Lord knows we need more respectable youth in the world and this is a good path. read more
