LEARN ABOUT OM BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU PROGRAMS

OM BJJ stands for OM Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Judo, a traditional martial arts academy located in Northport, New York.
It was founded by Professor Milard Roper, a lifelong martial artist with more than 30 years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Jeet Kune Do, as well as over 15 years of experience as a yoga teacher and studio owner. His unique background blends the discipline and structure of martial arts with the mindfulness and balance of yoga, shaping a learning environment that’s both powerful and peaceful.

In essence:

OM BJJ is not just a martial arts school, it’s a community and philosophy. It’s built around the idea that training should cultivate awareness, humility, and self-mastery, not aggression or ego. Every class is an opportunity to strengthen the body, sharpen the mind, and calm the spirit.

• Students of all ages, from young children to adults, come to OM BJJ to:
  
• Learn authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo techniques for fitness and self-defense.
  
• Develop discipline, confidence, and focus through structured practice.
  
• Train in a safe, inclusive, and ego-free environment that emphasizes personal growth and mutual respect.

The academy’s motto, “Lose with humility, win with grace,” captures what OM BJJ stands for: strength guided by balance, skill guided by respect, and progress guided by purpose.
