Adult Jiu-Jitsu

I recently moved to Tulsa and honestly couldn’t believe how amazing this gym is! 🤩 Not every place is this clean, cozy, and welcoming. The level of Professor Dallas and his students is truly outstanding! 🥋🔥 I feel so happy and inspired to have the opportunity to be part of this incredible team. This is honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made since moving here! 🙌✨

Thinking about a free visit to see how yinz get down.

Been training for a while now, and I’ve traveled for work for over ten years, so I’ve visited many, many gyms and I’m very aware of when I step foot in a legit gym, vs maybe some that are not so good, not so professional or friendly. As a higher belt there is always a target on me when I visit so I expect that treatment and usually have fun regardless. But training at Method here with Dallas the owner was a very big eye opener. The gym was clean, very well kept, professional, and very welcoming. I got very hard training in but it wasn’t in bad taste. The level of the teaching by Dallas was high level and detailed, and I actually learned something new to me that was useful, Detailed, and actually useful. I’d recommend this gym to anyone who wants to take their training and time/money seriously. I’m very upset that I don’t live in Tulsa or else this would surely be my home gym. Can’t say enough good things about the place. I was there for several days and looked foward to each training. Go check it out. You will not find better.

I was in Tulsa for work and dropped in. Everyone was very welcoming and their facility is first class! I’d highly recommend dropping in!

Great training, super cool dudes, and clean gym! If you’re in Tulsa definitely give these guys a try!

My son had expressed that he wanted to do martial arts. My wife and I were talking with other parents Method and two other’s places came up. We went to the other establishments and after the first trial day my son and I both agreed that Method is the place for us. Professor Dallas and his students/coaches are top notch, from the first day it has felt like family. They want their students to succeed and have fun. It has been a life style change for my son. It is not just about martial arts. It is learning to respect people, discipline on and off the mat. I am really impressed with Method as a whole and would recommend this establishment for anyone interested in learning this craft.

In town for hockey event from Wyoming. Stopped in to talk to Dallas and was fortunate to be invited to classes and open mat. Super knowledgeable and friendly. Facility is clean and orderly awesome mats! If you live in Tulsa don't hesitate to check them out! Really detailed instruction and great atmosphere for learning!

Professor Dallas is an excellent and welcoming instructor. Everyone from complete beginners to active world class competitors are welcome at Method! You will not regret choosing to train here.

Went to one of the free classes to check it out and I love the atmosphere and how everyone is happy to help and critique each other to perfect a move. Don’t forget to check out their online schedule to see when you can get in for lessons!

Want to give a big thanks and shoutout to Method Jiu Jitsu. Thank you professor Dallas and everyone there for allowing me to train with you today 3/29/25. I appreciate the added knowledge and also how you pushed me to be the best version of myself while training with you guys. Whenever I'm back in town I will be sure to visit with you guys again. God bless you all and I pray you do well in your upcoming competition.

Dropped in for a no-gi class while visiting Tulsa from Austin. All my training partners there were great to drill and spar with. The place was super clean and well kept. would definitely recommend checking out this gym!

I can’t say enough good things about Method and what Dallas has built. I’m a black belt and have trained all over. Dallas is a world class instructor and commits to every student. He will ask you your goals and help you accomplish them. He is never too busy for any student regardless if it’s before class or after. Method is a clean facility in every sense of the word. They do back ground checks and run a highly professional program. If you are competitor you will have opportunities to train with best guys in the world.

Coach Dallas is great at breaking down complicated techniques and explaining things simply. Best BJJ gym in the Tulsa area

Great place to train. Great team environment. Professor Dallas is one of the best BJJ practitioners there is around!!!

Method Jiu-Jitsu is an exceptional gym that sets the standard for a clean, organized, and welcoming training environment. The main instructor, Dallas, is a phenomenal teacher with a deep understanding of jiu-jitsu. His crucifix game, in particular, is truly something to admire. Dallas has a gift for breaking down the mechanics of this position, from the entries to the control and submissions, making it accessible and effective for students at any level. Beyond the technical expertise, the gym stands out for its wonderful environment. The facility is immaculate, and the atmosphere is both professional and friendly. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Method Jiu-Jitsu provides a space where everyone feels supported and encouraged to grow. With Dallas leading the way, the gym is a shining example of what a top-tier academy should be.

I went to train for just a weekend and it was extremely amazing. The amount of detail Dallas teaches is incredible. I loved every second of it and learned so much in just two days.

I'm from out of town and dropped in for a visit. The professor was great and helped us work on the finer details of the positions we were working. There were quite a few white belts and just as many upper belts. Everyone was very respectful and this gym fostered good learning. The mats are one of the best things about this gym. I have always been scared of stand up and being judo thrown into what seems like two inches of newspaper mat. Not at this gym! The spring board mats absorb plenty of energy making throws feel like landing in a marshmallow on top of a trampoline! Definitely coming back if I'm visiting in the area.

I recently had the pleasure of training at Method Jiu-jitsu and I can confidently say it’s one of the best Jiu Jitsu schools I’ve encountered. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and respectful, making it a great environment for both beginners and seasoned practitioners. Professor Dallas Niles' extensive knowledge of Jiu Jitsu is evident in his teaching style. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex techniques into easily digestible parts, ensuring that every student understands the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced concepts. The training sessions are well-structured, balancing drilling and sparring, which helps students apply what they learn in a practical setting. The camaraderie among students is palpable, fostering a sense of community that makes every class enjoyable. Overall, Method Jiu-jitsu is a fantastic place to train, and with such a knowledgeable and caring instructor at the helm, I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to enhance their Jiu Jitsu skills. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your techniques, you’ll find a supportive environment that encourages growth and mastery.

Great place, with great people, & an amazing head coach. People of all ages & skill levels. No egos, very inviting place to train without any judgment. Will be back!! Thank you again Dallas!!!

So many good things to say about this place. My daughter attends the kids class twice a week. The coaches here have helped her grow so much. I fully believe this is the best place to bring your kids to train!

My daughter and I both joined Method about 2 months ago and we both love it! I have been training for about a year and half and decided to join Method so my daughter could start as well since Method has a program for 4-6 year olds. I have had an amazing experience learning and training under Dallas so far, but I really want to emphasize what it has done for my 4 year old daughter. She has really struggled with keeping attention as most kids that age do. But this week, her teacher at school pulled me aside to let me know that she has done much better listening and with impulse control since she started. Her exact words were “Whatever they are doing in Jiu Jitsu, don’t let her stop.” The coaches/structure at Method truly make the class revolve around building the character of the kids. At Method, the kids aren’t coming in for an hour every once in a while and leaving. They are changing who they are at home, school, and all other aspects of the kids lives.

Great instructor in Dallas Niles. Competitive yet friendly atmosphere. Very focused on accurate technique with a lot of drilling and going over different entries and defenses to the technique that’s being taught. Highly recommend Method for a solid, competitive Jiu Jitsu experience.

I dropped in for a nighttime open mat at Method and had a lovely time with Coach Dallas and crew. The gym is absolutely beautiful, very clean, and the team was so welcoming. I got some tough rounds in but the atmosphere was also chill - a rare combo! I'd highly recommend this gym to anyone in Tulsa. Thanks for the warm welcome, Coach Dallas & team!

Incredible place loaded up with amazing techniques and a great coach. I 100 percent recommend Method to anyone who is interested in technical and competitive Jiu jitsu. I felt welcomed and open to all the people and the community. 10/10 hands down. Thanks to coach Dallas I learned lots of techniques all in one day.🙇‍♂️

Dallas is a great coach and runs an excellent program. Weather you are a first day beginner or athlete trying to win tournaments at the highest level method jiu jitsu is the place for you.

Growing before our eyes! We have seen our 7-year-old come out of his preverbal “shell”. It’s been a year since we started at Method, during this time his growth has been significant. From getting frustrated at not being able to do warm up drills, to being asked to demonstrate them to the new members. At school, teachers have noticed and commented on his growth as a student. Specifically, his confidence, perseverance, and willingness to try new things. We like to say, “we can do hard things” and the Coaches at Method help make the hard things fun, exciting, and educational. The Coaches make the difference, encouraging, demonstrating, and instructing in a patient manner that makes each class fun and exciting. Adding in an emphasis on Character is also important at Method. The students earn stripes for completing the “Word of the Month” and other character-building worksheets. Encouraging growth within themselves, their family, and community. We are very proud of the progress our son has made over the last year at Method Jiu Jitsu and look forward to consistent growth both on and off the mat.

I can't say enough good things about Method Jiu Jitsu! As someone who has dropped in here and there to various martial arts schools over the years, I can confidently say that this place stands out from the rest. Before joining here, I tried a couple of other schools, and while they had their merits, none of them offered the same level of community, instruction, and personal growth that I've experienced at Method. One school focused heavily on traditional techniques, but I found the training to be somewhat rigid and not very adaptable to real-life situations or good competition. Another school I attended had intense sparring sessions, which were fun but lacked the structured learning I was looking for. What I love most about Method is how they embrace all styles and encourage students to build their own unique game. As someone with a wrestling background, I was initially worried about how my skills would translate in a new martial arts context. However, the instructors here have been incredibly supportive and have worked with me to incorporate my wrestling techniques into my training. The instructors are knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping each student reach their goals. The environment is welcoming, and the camaraderie among students makes every class enjoyable. Whether you're a beginner or experienced martial artist, Method has something to offer everyone. I’m so grateful to have found this place, and I can’t wait to see how much more I can grow as a martial artist. Highly recommended!

I dropped into the lunch class when I was passing through Tulsa. Clean facility, good coaching, and all around great atmosphere. I’d definitely check it out if you’re local to the area!

I can’t say enough about this place. Clean, respectful, hospitable and life changing. The only thing you will regret about jiujitsu is that you didn’t start sooner. Dallas is world class and runs a top tier program and it shows the moment you walk through the door.

I joined this school in February, It has hands down been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I was looking for a new physical and creative outlet since returning home from playing soccer in Europe, I finally convinced myself to try jiu jitsu. After some research I ended up landing on Method, So I signed up. From the first initial class that I got to try (for free) I was hooked. Dallas is an amazing person and professor. From day one he has made me feel welcome and accepted into this new environment and has always taken the time to answer all of my questions. He takes great pride in helping people improve and make sure they’re getting what they want out of the classes, he really is the embodiment of what a teacher should be. The people here at Method are just as amazing, everyone is here to help each other improve and continue to grow as not only competitors but as individuals. I am ecstatic to be apart of the family here at Method Jiu Jitsu!

I originally joined Method Jiu Jitsu for a lifestyle change, Professor Dallas and every single student welcomed me in with open arms. From the day I started I quickly lost weight, and became a more disciplined person, along with learning high level jiu jitsu. Joining this gym was one of the best decisions of my life, professor Dallas truly cares about each and everyone of his students regardless of their skill level. Highly recommend this gym!

My criteria for a great martial arts facility: Great coaching, Clean facilities and equipment in good condition and welcoming environment/safe place to train. This place checks all the boxes. Professor Dallas Niles is a world known BJJ Black Belt trained under the most decorated 🇺🇸 lineage of Rafael Lovato Jr. The facility is well designed and functionally sound that creates a welcoming training environment. The kids training program not only teaches physical fitness and self defense skills but also leadership and character development that will raise your children to be the leaders of the next generation. If you are in Tulsa, this is the place to train both kids and adults.

Method Jiu Jitsu is the perfect place for experienced practitioners, beginners and families. I started training with Dallas at Lovato's in 2020 and I was so excited to see that he opened up his own school! Whenever I am in Tulsa I make it a point to come by and I get great rounds in a great environment. Dallas furthers the experience by bringing in great talent for Seminars. World champions such as Victor Hugo, Xande Ribiero, and Rafael Lovato Jr have been on his mats dropping great knowledge. Further, he has brought in a world class wrestling athlete, Nick Heflin, to broaden his student's exposure to grappling. If that isn't enough, Professor Dallas is objectively (yes I mean it) one of the funniest people on the planet. When I was just starting out his classes were engaging and entertaining, so that even after a long day of work I was excited to come in and learn. Tldr? Method could be the best thing you ever did for yourself, you should give it a try!

Method is super clean, and the everyone is so welcoming. Seriously, you feel the positive energy as soon as you walk in. One of the best things about Method is how they teach you to understand *why* you're doing each move, not just how to do it. It makes a huge difference in how you learn and apply the techniques. And if you're thinking about getting your kids into something, this is perfect. They really focus on helping kids develop life skills like discipline and respect through their training. What’s also great is that there’s no ego. Everyone’s there to learn and grow, not to show off or hurt each other. It’s all about educational Jiu Jitsu and applying the techniques correctly. If you’re serious about learning and want a great environment for it, you should definitely check out Method. It's a game-changer.

From the moment I walked in and met Coach Dallas, I knew we had found the perfect place. The institution he is building is truly exceptional. Both of my children participate in group classes and take private lessons with Coach Kenny, who is equally wonderful. What I love most about Method Jiu Jitsu is its focus on character development alongside physical training. My children have become more disciplined in many areas of their lives thanks to the weekly folders they complete to earn their stripes. On our first day, I also signed up for private lessons with Coach Dallas. After speaking with him for just a few minutes, I knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to train with one of the best in the world. Choosing Method Jiu Jitsu was the right decision, and I continue to learn more about both Jiu Jitsu and myself. Additionally, the facility is the cleanest I have ever seen. We didn't even consider looking elsewhere. We plan to be a part of the Method Jiu Jitsu family for many years to come.

Method emphasizes the whole person concept, which includes forming and maintaining good habits that are proven to contribute to a person’s long-term success and wellbeing. Impeccably clean training area too!

I am a 42 year old father of three teenage sons. I have always been fascinated by jiu jitsu and the ability for the smaller person to control and submit the much larger opponent. Method is a clean modern dojo with a rich heritage of high level Jiu Jitsu. Professor Dallas is a gifted teacher and has a built a culture that is welcoming and fun for those of us new to the sport. There is a strong community at Method, one where we all working towards learning and self improvement.

Dallas Niles has created something truly special here in Tulsa at Method Jiu Jitsu! I have been taking my two boys there over the past month and can’t honestly say enough positive things about our experience. They are focused on the character development of the child just as much as the physical skill. My boys were given their own folder with a word of the month, home chores, and other character development handouts to work on at home in order to earn stripes in their belt. Talk about motivation! If you are looking for something for your children that will build then physically while also building their character take them to Method.

I have been training at Method since March and came in with 0 prior knowledge or experience in Jiu Jitsu or any other Martial art. Coach Dallas was extremely helpful in answering any questions that I had as I was starting out and has continued to provide the knowledge for me to grow my game. The environment of the gym is positive and the members are very welcoming which is just as important as the quality of instruction. I am glad I found Method BJJ and am ready for the long journey ahead.

I can't express enough how much my family and I love this BJJ gym! Attending classes here has become a cherished part of our daily routine, allowing us to pursue our passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu together. The atmosphere is welcoming and laid-back, making it the perfect environment for both beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Professor Dallas, the head instructor, is simply the best teacher I've ever had. His attention to detail is unparalleled, and he has an incredible ability to break down complex techniques into understandable steps. Thanks to his guidance, I've managed to correct many bad habits and significantly improve my game. His personalized approach ensures that every student receives the attention they need to progress. The gym itself is not just a place to train; it's become our sanctuary. The aesthetics are top-notch, creating an inviting and motivating space to learn and grow. Whether you're looking for a great workout, a place to develop your skills, or a supportive community, this BJJ school has it all. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in martial arts.

From the day I joined Method Jiu-Jitsu, it has been an incredible experience. Professor Dallas is not only highly skilled but also genuinely passionate about teaching jiu-jitsu. He does an incredible job of breaking down techniques in a way that is easy to understand, regardless of your skill level. The community at Method is also welcoming and supportive. From the moment you step onto the mat, you feel like part of a family. Training partners are always willing to help each other improve, creating an encouraging and motivating atmosphere. The facility itself is top-notch. The mats are clean and well-maintained, and there is plenty of space to train. The gym also offers a variety of class times, making it easy to fit training into a busy schedule. Professor Dallas’ attention to detail extends beyond his teachings on the mat. He emphasizes the importance of discipline, respect, and continuous learning, which translates into benefits both on and off the mat. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced competitor, Method has something to offer. I have seen significant improvements in my confidence and overall fitness since joining. I highly recommend Method to anyone interested in starting or continuing their jiu-jitsu journey. This place truly feels like home!

Training with Professor Dallas and his students has been awesome in my short drop in stint at Tulsa. He and his students are great people, respectful training partners and all around a fun team. Whatever you do, don’t let them catch you in a crucifix, you won’t get out😁. I highly recommend this place to new and experienced people alike. Looking forward to being back

I dropped in while visiting Tulsa and had a great time. It's a very nice, clean gym. Coach Dallas and his team were awesome. I plan to come back whenever I'm in town!

We tried team sports with our 5 year old, but he was always frustrated by the lack of structure that happens when you try to convince a bunch of 5 year olds to work together. But he’s very active so I decided to look for a group sport instead. I showed him some jiu jitsu videos and he said he wanted to try it. Within 30 minutes of his first class, I could tell he was hooked. That night he told me he wanted to eat fruit instead of ice cream. At his preschool, his teachers began to remark that he was suddenly taking on a role in his class of making sure his friends were acting right. At his preschool graduation in May, they gave everyone a title. His was “the leader.” His class at Method is as much about self discipline and being a good human as it is about jiu jitsu moves. He’s really taken to it. Physically it’s been good for him as well, I can see so much more confidence in the way he moves and carries himself. He even has started asking to work out with me in the evenings, going for runs and doing planks and squats. I couldn’t be happier with our experience

I love this school. The professor and students were both really nice and welcoming. The professor is also an experienced competitor and was very clear and sharp with the techniques shown. Totally recommended for both beginners and more experienced practitioners.

Excellent facilities!! Prof D is the man!! Must check out if you’re in the Tulsa area.

Method Jiu Jitsu is THE place to train in Tulsa for anyone wanting the very best jiu jitsu instruction. Professor Dallas Niles is a black belt and top student under the legendary Rafael Lovato Jr. From a mastery of the fundamentals to the most complex of moves, Dallas is a human encyclopedia of jiu jitsu techniques and a great teacher. Please check them out!

If you want to train JiuJitsu, you should find a gym with a high quality coach and facility. Dallas is such a great person, great coach and his skills as a practitioner are top notch! I’ve driven 1600 miles to step on the mats here. If you’re in Tulsa there’s no other place I’d train! OSS #sixblades, #lovatobjj.

In the short time I have been training at Method Jiu-Jitsu I have improved my Jiu-Jitsu greatly due to Coach Dallas and team. No matter whether you are trying to get in shape, compete, or just looking for a hobby. One thing is for sure, everyone here is welcoming and here to help each other get better. Clean facilities and TOP NOTCH instruction.

I love training at Method. Prof. Dallas’ knowledge and attention to detail is amazing. Everyone is awesome to train with as well. Great group of people and I enjoy it every time I go. Academy is always spotless as well. Couldn’t ask for a better place to be.

Decided to drop in at Method and I was amazed by the school itself. Arguably the most beautiful school in the Tulsa area. Not only was the school beautiful but professor Dallas and his team immediately made me feel like one of their own. It was a very welcoming environment and a pleasure to get to train with someone that has won a high level tournament like pans. I would definitely recommend this school to all people of any skill level!

5/5 ⭐️ This kids' jiu jitsu class is incredible! My child has not only learned important self-defense skills but has also shown significant improvements in behavior and attitude. The weekly job list cards are a great addition, encouraging responsibility and rewarding completion with character stripes. Each month highlights a different character trait, teaching the kids important life lessons. We've seen increased pride in accomplishments and better listening skills. Overall, the class provides a positive and nurturing environment that supports growth both on and off the mat. Highly recommended!

This is my first experience ever with jiu jitsu. I have no martial art background and I am not a gifted athlete by any means so to say I was nervous to start is an understatement. After my first class, all of those preconceived notions were wiped away. Everyone there was supportive and excited to see me start my jiu jitsu journey. Method really is a place for everyone. Young, old, competition ready or hobbyist, such as I, there is a place for you at Method. Dallas teaches you in a way that is easy to understand and is always there to answer any questions. With his philosophy of 1% better each day, you will most definitely achieve positive results. Beginning my jiu jitsu at Method is the best decision I could have ever made for myself

I started my son in the kids program at Method a couple months ago and he loves it. The coaches are great with the kids and Dallas has a ton of knowledge and experience. Really thankful for Method, they do things the right way.

Method Jujitsu had changed my life in the past few months. Coach Dallas has been one of the biggest factors in my life lately to make real chang in and outside the gym. I’ve been a lifelong martial artist and did jujitsu for year. Coach Dallas has completely changed my perspective on jujitsu. Best school in tulsa

My family ABSOLUTELY LOVES Method Jiu-jitsu and Dallas. Couldn't ask for more if you are really interested in advancing your skills and moving up in the Jiu-jitsu game. Dallas is highly qualified to not only teach white belts but can also keep up with the purple brown and black belts while continuing to also enhance their Jiu-jitsu. He's very professional and supportive as well. We really encourage anyone that is interested in training to try Method out.

Method is a professional top level jiu-jistu gym! Dallas Niles is an exceptional coach!! There isn't a better jiu-jistu instructor with more knowledge in the Tulsa area.
