Primate is one of the many schools in the 918 that I’m able to very easily boast about. Amazing expansive facility! To me, clean, accommodating, friendly, and motivating atmospheres are what make a Jiu-Jitsu gym great, and Primate embodies those things perfectly! Kendall and Matt are both extremely knowledgeable and their way of teaching makes it easy for anyone to learn, no matter the learning style. Primate is a great place to pick up Jiu-Jitsu & also a great place to cross train if you decide to plant your foot elsewhere! Their Women’s Only class Saturday at 11am is a great first class experience for women that may be intimidated by the thought of being the only woman (which is uncommon at Primate as there is a great women's team, including coach Kendall) in the gym. Their Open Mat Saturday at 12pm is also a great one to go to as a first time visitor! Scrappy rounds and soaking wet rash-guards are the best and that’s definitely what
I absolutely love Primate Jiu Jitsu in Tulsa Oklahoma! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all students. They have multiple showers and bathrooms along with a play area for the little ones to stay entertained while mom/dad train. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and the class schedule offers a variety of options for training. If you are in the area I highly recommend them! If you have children they also offer a kids program!! Whether you are looking to learn self-defense, boxing, Muay Thai, sport Jiu Jitsu or simply get in shape primate Jiu Jitsu is the place to go.
We have been bringing our kids here 2-3 times a week for 8 months now. We did a lot of research and felt like Matt Vernon had the best training out of everyone in Tulsa. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. I can’t say enough good things about Primate. Our kids love it and if you come out and try some of their classes for yourself you’ll be able to see first hand how much the coaches pour themselves into what they do. I tell family and friends that coach Matt is the Mr. Rogers of Jiu Jitsu. Here you’re learning more than just a martial art, he talks with the kids every class and teaches valuable lessons giving them the wisdom they need to be kind, successful, well rounded members of society… in addition to some incredible self defense. They’ve earned every one of these 5 stars.
One of the best choices I ever made in my life was coming to Primate BJJ and giving Jiu Jitsu a try. I started out by trying the free week of classes and was immediately blown away. Matt is one of the greatest instructors you could ask for, his attention to detail and ability to explain technique is complete wizardry...And Not only is Matt a super friendly and great instructor but the entire Primate class is full of the best men and women you could find who are always encouraging and really bring out the best in everyone who trains there. I could go on an on about the great things about this gym and the encouraging environment but you should come see for yourself! A free week of classes is all you'll need to see how amazing this place really is!
Can’t say enough good things about Primate. I walked in a year ago with zero knowledge and experience in Jiu Jitsu. Coach Matt, Dane and Nick have been awesome and despite my terrible jiu jitsu, they continue to let me come back and have some fun. I look forward to seeing my friends at noon class every week, working hard and getting a great workout. As a dad/guy in my mid 30s, safety is important. The coaches do a great job making sure the gym is clean and people are rolling safely and respectfully. Joining Primate has been one of the best decisions I’ve made the past few years. If you’re on the fence, just pop in and check out a class. It’s always good times with good people.
I started BJJ recently, and have been so surprised by how quickly this gym’s coaches, athletes, and culture have become a key part of my life. I have had zero Jiu Jitsu training in the past, so I was nervous that I would not be welcome. However, every single person I have trained with at Primate has been nothing but supportive and helpful, and the coaches are attentive and over all phenomenal athletes and human beings. This sport is incredible, and I can see myself becoming more physically and mentally tough the more I train. This is only possible in an environment that challenges you without breaking you, and I have found that at Primate. If you can’t tell, I highly recommend!
