My daughter recently started taking classes and loves it. She’s petite and has really started to have confidence in herself. She’s very enthusiastic about going every week.

I started training here at the beginning of the month after trying other places, and I quickly became obsessed. If you want to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu the right way, starting with technique and progressing to sparring, this is the place. James, the head instructor and owner, teaches professionally, clearly, and makes you feel like family. Highly recommended +++ 👏🏻💪🏻

Definitely recommend this place if you or anyone in your family want to get started on BJJ. James, the instructor and owner, is knowledgeable, and very supportive. I started bringing my son to this school so he could burn some energy and learn how to protect himself, but we ended up with so much more than that! My son been learning about honor, respect, discipline, and his focus has improved tremendously since he started training. James is also always making sure people stay connected and there’s a real sense of community in here. 10/10!

Dropped in for a Master Cycle class as a member of another Gracie CTC. James was more than accommodating, and clearly had the passion and knowledge I've come to love from being a member of the Gracie University family. If you're anywhere close to the Columbus area, you'll find no better environment to learn Jiu Jitsu than with James. Thanks brother 👊🏼
