Felicia Oh
Felicia Oh was introduced to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by her friend's husband. Intrigued by the notion that technique and skill could overcome size and strength, she went to watch a class. She signed up and started training the next day.
Felicia has since dominated many national competitions and holds the distinction of being the first American woman to be invited to Japan for BJJ. Felicia was awarded her Black Belt by Jean Jacques Machado after only 4.5 years-- an achievement that has left many of her male training partners both envious and struggling to keep from getting choked out.
Felicia currently trains in Southern California with Jean Jacques Machado and Eddie Bravo. In addition to teaching in the Digital Media program at Otis College of Art and Design, she is also a certified Kettlebell instructor.
