I have been training martial arts for a few years now, only striking until recently. I quickly fell in love with grappling soon after trying it out, and when I walked through the doors to OSS I knew I was going to be spending a lot of my time here. This school has incredible atmosphere, it’s hard to not be smiling when you enter and are greeted by the owner, Jimmy. From white belt through black belt, everybody that I’ve met here is respectful and genuine unto themselves. If you want to roll with the best that RI has to offer, don’t think twice about checking out OSS.
