From the reviews
I am soo thankful I found this practice. Amongst other key areas of my well being, Oom Yung Doe added a key piece to my mind, body and spirit. My whole self is improved and continues to develop skills each week. Mindful and present. Instructor Wade has made such an impact.
Wade is a very knowledgeable and patient instructor. He has a great school with a convenient Burlington location. He teaches many varieties of the arts, from Tai chi to Jujitsu. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to learn From the beginner to advanced. Matt from Burlington
I have studied traditional Tai Chi and this form is different, more martial arts based, yet accessible and very enjoyable. Practice with Instructor Wade has improved my strength, balance and flexibility tremendously.
Practicing OYD has been a great benefit to my general wellness. I highly recommend this Martial Arts School. Practicing 8 distinct identifiable Martial Arts taught as 1 has been a major success. I look forward to each class as they are fresh and exciting to discover and develop.
New to BJJ? Start at Oom Yung Doe - 8 Martial Arts - Burlington, VT
Oom Yung Doe - 8 Martial Arts - Burlington, VT comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Oom Yung Doe - 8 Martial Arts - Burlington, VT
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
