I attempted to address the issue with the gym owner, Christian, who responded by name calling. I am friends with all of their fighters who are disgusted by the way coaches Christian Derr, John Adams, and peppe Johnson have treated and are continuing to treat me. I would never have gone to this gym if I wasn't BEGGED to show up, and wouldn't go back for a million dollars.

I've not lived in Tulsa long and a lot of this area is new to me. As soon as I got to Cohesion BJJ and Judo I met the owner Steve. He was amazing! He answered all my questions I had about the academy and BJJ and trust me I had a lot of questions. Steve is patient and kind. When all the other people got there they all spoke about how they have so much fun there and how they have learned so much from Steve. It was like joining a family. My first lesson from Steve was great. He is a wonderful professor. He explained everything. I now know the difference between BJJ & Judo. You can tell that this is his passion because of his knowledge, ability to speak about the art, and his professionalism. If your new to the whole BJJ and/or Judo like me, I would highly recommend going to Cohesion BJJ and Judo.

ALL of the trainers are really nice and would correct me if I was doing something wrong (which was a lot of the time). It was especially nice because all the trainers do their classes slightly differently with different types of workouts, which keeps things from getting too boring or stagnant. Only cons are the wet gloves if you use theirs (from other peoples' sweat?! Hoping its from sterilizing spray) and it seemed like they kept it really warm in there..... Needless to say, it's a good workout. I always left dripping with sweat. Mission accomplished.
