Zero Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, York PA

Wonderful place with beautiful and friendly people! The instructors are excellent in transmitting their knowledge, which shows in the skills and abilities of their students.

I have been training BJJ for seven years. I started in a different school, under a different Professor. I found Zero and Professor Mike several years ago and started to visit his school once a week. Mike's style of teaching is very conducive to various styles of learning. His skill at communicating is very impressive. For those who have never trained he has an uncanny way of explaining the " what, why, how, etc. " of the techniques. I have spent the last several years traveling with my Sons to visit other BJJ schools, in and out of state. I have yet to find another instructor with an ability to communicate to all level of students better. At 45 years old and riddled with injuries from my Marine Corps career, I have full faith in my teammates that we can train to my abilities without the risk of injury. The school has every type of student, professional fighters, amateur fighters, grappling competitors, and hobbyists. Zero BJJ is welcoming to every student regardless of their ability, fitness level, or previous experience. I have witnessed every student step up, and not only welcome the new students, but eagerly help teach them whatever they could. The kids class has grown over the last 3 or 4 years from 6 students, age 4-12, to over 41 students. With self defense as the primary goal of the kids class I have watched the kids grow in ability and confidence daily.

Training here has been amazing! The technique is always and the instructor (s) are so attentive and knowledgeable, always keeping good, clear energy in the room. There are a lot of female students that consistently train here and seeing that in a male dominated sport like jiu-jitsu speaks volumes about a school, in my opinion. Everybody helps everybody here. Zero BJJ has the recipe for turning you into a healthier, more confident and (honestly) way cooler version of you that you probably didn’t know was in there. The students are awesome, Dickie is the sh*t and the vibe at Zero BJJ is unbeatable.

Simply the best place to train. Mike is an amazing instructor. He is a natural teacher who loves to share his (extensive!) knowledge with patience and kindness. He takes joy in each student’s success whether you train to compete at an elite level or simply want a great workout like me. I’ve gained so much confidence from my time here.

I was nervous starting out as a woman but I have been treated with nothing but kindness and respect since I have stepped through the door. There’s a core group of ladies here who are super supportive!

Professor Mike Oberdick and myself have been team mates for over a decade now and nobody in the area comes close when it comes to expertise and excellence in the instruction of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

This is a great place to come and train. My son actually started first, and subsequently talked me into coming as well. Now my whole family trains here. The instruction is excellent - a great balance of basic and advanced topics, with instruction on jiu jitsu for sport and self defense. The kids classes are excellent, and have been a huge part of both of my sons' development. The atmosphere is what really makes it. Everyone is respectful of your goals. Pushing 40, I have confidence that my partners and instructors will watch out for me and be respectful of my goals and level of intensity, and everyone is there to make each other better. Jiu jitsu has been one of the most positive things in my life, and we could not have found a better place to train. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

This place is like a second home to me. You couldn't ask for better training partners, and coaching. I've been training with most of these guys since 2011. They have a positive environment, to help grow all the students. No matter if you want to compete, lose weight, or self defense, this is the place!

The camaraderie and friendship you’ll find here second to none, not to mention Mikes instruction is the BOMB son! Don’t be afraid to stop in and find your new obsession.

No matter what your interest level is there is a place for you here. Head instructor Michael Oberdick is without a doubt the best in the area.

I had the pleasure of training and then being trained by Mike Oberdick for about four years. From day one, he along with Daniel Beleza helped me fall in love with the sport of BJJ. Mike is an awesome coach. I recommend him to anyone looking to get into BJJ or MMA.

I've been a part of this program for a little under two years and absolutely fell in love with it since the month I started it. The coaches are great at explaining and teaching for both jiu jitsu as well as standup. If you are in the area or looking for a jits gym to be a part of or try out I'd definitely tell you to give it a shot, you wont be disappointed.

Mike Oberdick is an amazing instructor with a wealth of knowledge and experience. If your contemplating getting into BJJ, MMA, or striking this is the place to go in the York area. Along with Mike, Manny is an awesome kids instructor. He also has many years of experience, and is absolutely amazing with the kids. You won’t find a better environment or coach for a kids BJJ program.

Mike has a very fine attention to detail and works well with everybody. Solid instruction and a great place to learn and improve.

I have been part of this team for a little over two years. I've attended previous schools and I find this to be the best. The camaraderie amongst the coaches and teammates is unlike any other school. I strongly recommend Zero Bjj to anyone who is thinking about learning some jiu Jitsu or stand up. It's impossible to find the skill set Mike and Dickie (Michael Oberdick) have to offer around central PA.

I stopped into Zero BJJ while visiting York for work. I will be in town a few times a year and I am for sure returning to Zero. I had a super positive experience. Everyone was extremely nice, welcoming, and down to earth. They embraced me as part of the group and made me feel very comfortable. If I lived in the York area I would without a doubt join Zero BJJ.
