In Dijon, France, Overall Jiu-Jitsu is one of those clubs that leaves its members no excuses. Twenty-two sessions a week, doors open 6 days out of 7 from morning to night, all year round: whether you are an early riser, a shift worker or a student, there is a class for you.
Behind that volume sits a professional structure: a team of coaches who all hold federation certifications, three age groups (kids, teens, adults) and a complete practice, in both Gi and Nogi.
A club open from morning to night
Twenty-two weekly sessions is not a trivial number. It is the mark of a club that chose accessibility over the single crowded evening slot that, by nature, filters out a large part of the people who would like to train.
In practice, it means a schedule running from morning to night, classes for those who train before work as much as for those who come in at the end of the day, and continuity across the year rather than a stop-start school rhythm. On the organisational side, it also means a dense schedule to maintain and a lot of movement to track every week.
A team of certified professionals
Coaching at Overall rests on a full team, built around Benoit Henriet, a black belt, and Mickael Borghesi. Every coach holds federation certifications, which matters especially in the kids’ and teens’ sections, where teaching method and safety come before everything else.
Three age groups, Gi and Nogi, and a club that runs all year: the result is a place that welcomes everyone from kids to adults, without ever changing clubs.
How the club uses OSS Academy
What Benoit takes away from the app comes down to two words: simplicity and efficiency. A French booking app built for BJJ is something the club had been waiting on for a long time.
Day to day, Overall relies on OSS Academy for:
- Bookings: members book their session from their phone in a few seconds, across the 22 classes of the week
- Attendance: tracking happens automatically, with no paper roll call to re-enter afterwards
- Memberships: sign-ups and subscriptions are handled in the app, section by section
- Communication: club information reaches members directly, without relying on a group chat
- Trial classes: newcomers book their first session online
In a club this busy, instant onboarding matters as much as the feature list: the more effort a tool demands, the less it gets used, and the faster the coach falls back on paper and direct messages.
A booking widget embedded on their website
Overall went one step further: the OSS Academy trial-class widget is embedded directly on overall-jiujitsu.com, in the club’s own colors. A visitor discovering the club on its website can book a trial class, or a one-off session, straight from the club’s page, without even creating an account.
For an academy, that is often the missing link: between the curious visitor who finds the site and the student who walks through the dojo door, every extra step costs people. The widget removes that friction.
And if your club has no website, OSS Academy gives you a public page ready to share, matched to your colors, with the same trial-class booking built in.
