HEADLINERS Olin Petit OLIN PETIT MMA Profile BY MATT FREEMAN & ANGELA KARIM T WAS DECEMBER 2013 when Olin was hanging out with his Dad in Lodi, California. The two were watching the Nick Diaz vs. BJ Penn fight on television. “My Dad is really into the fight scene. I remember he put on a Nick Diaz fight. It was the first time I had ever seen him and I told him I wanted to be just like him. Nick Diaz was pretty bad ass,” said Olin. It’s no surprise that when his father told him that the man he admired so much in the octagon was not only local, but actually had his own gym in Lodi that Olin immediately asked his father if he would take him there. His father did. He signed him up and Olin’s journey began. That was nearly four years ago. Today Olin is not only training at the Nick Diaz Academy, which is now located in Stockton, California. He is also competing, fighting, and serving Randy Spence, head coach of the academy. Every week he helps Spence teach a weekly kids class. “I used to get into street fights and I would win. I used to think I was the best. Then I came in (to the Nick Diaz Academy) and got whooped,” said Olin. Jiu jitsu has taught him quite a bit. He’s learned to stay humble and be disciplined. When asked what jiu jitsu does for people in general, Olin replied, “It gives you a lot of selfconfidence. You’re not worried in negative situations, because you know if someone tries to attack you that you can just put them in a choke-hold and deescalate the situation. It helps kids too if they get bullied at school, they will learn how to defend themselves.” Regarding instruction, Olin feels as though the Nick Diaz Academy has some of the best teachers. “We have Randy Spence, Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, and Victor Galdon who teach consistently.” And if anyone was thinking that jiu jitsu is too rough, Olin disagrees. “Football is more brutal than mixed martial arts and jiu jitsu is not either of those.” Olin’s plan is to have a professional mixed martial arts career. He wasn’t kidding when he said he wanted to be just like Nick (Diaz). He wants to be the best. “I’ve got to get my ground game up and perfect my striking.” said Olin. He still loves jiu jitsu and is active, competing in tournaments when he is not contending as a young mixed martial artist. Currently Olin is a blue belt and you can catch him training 6-7 days a week. I asked him if his mother supports his ambitions and he replied, “My Mom is really supportive. She makes sure that I eat a good diet. She does get worried though-she didn’t go to my last fight. She didn’t want to watch.” By the way, he won that fight and is slated to fight again very soon.
