Our Story
OBJJ was founded in 2011 by black belt Brad Thompson who had a vision to build a one-of-a-kind facility and bring world class instructors to Orlando. Brad was already a successful businessman but opened this academy to give something back to the community.
At the age of 49 he began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and proudly received his Second Degree Black Belt from Carlos Gracie Jr. in 2010. Brad received his Fourth degree Black Belt in 2019. Brad competed for four consecutive years after starting the sport. During that time he won four consecutive yearly World Tournaments and earned 6 gold Medals. Brad has a passion for helping everyone learn and reach their goals.
In 2020, OBJJ turned over a new chapter that included a full rebrand, remodel and new leadership under Denilson Pimenta.
