ABOUT FELICIA OH
On a long drive
to a fateful camping trip soon to-go-very very
bad, 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 and international competitions and 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 up.
In 2007, Felicia
became the first woman to win both the Pan
American Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Gi and No-Gi
divisions. After winning the ADCC North American
Trials and securing her spot to represent the
United States at the ADCC World Submission
Wrestling Championship, she had convincing
victories over a multi-time BJJ World Champion
and a Japanese superstar which put her in the
finals of the most prestigious grappling event
in the world. In September, Felicia represented
the USA and won the gold medal at the first FILA
World Wrestling Games for Grappling in Antalya,
Turkey.
Felicia currently
teaches Women's Submission Grappling, Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu, Crossfit and Kettlebell classes at
Big John McCarthy's Ultimate Training Academy in
Valencia, CA. She is also a guest instructor
with Jean Jacques Machado's Online Training
Program. She is now a happy camper.
