Oliver Geddes Personal History
Oliver Geddes was born in London, England on the 29th of August 1984.
He started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in August 2005 with the objective to become a more complete martial artist, however, he soon found that he enjoyed BJJ much more then the other MA’s he was training at and decided to work full time on his grappling.
Today he dedicates himself full time to BJJ working at Roger Gracie’s Academy in London, giving private classes and training full time. He is also one of the most avid competitors in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu UK Scene.
He was awarded all belts by Roger Gracie himself, Blue Belt in 2006, Purple Belt in 2008 and his Brown Belt in 2010.
