Ohio Academy of Jiu Jitsu

“My 6 year old daughter began practicing Jiu Jitsu @ OAJJ for her first time almost 3 months ago. She has had so many positive improvements in her behavior, confidence, and focus since then and loves going to class. She likes having both a male and female coach and they are a dynamic duo who work well teaching together, very caring and accessible, supportive and inspiring. Our family’s experience has been great and there’s many perks offered and a nice community involved in this academy. Excited to witness as they continue to grow and benefit the lives of those who walk through the doors. Thanks coaches Derek & Bryn for your dedication and guidance !”

“Bryn and Derek have created the perfect Jiujitsu community and environment for learning. My boys (5 & 8) have trained at two other BJJ gyms and I’ve been extremely impressed with how they break down the fundamentals into bite size pieces, drill them until the kids understand them, and keep it disciplined but fun at OAJJ. It’s nice to have three class options a week in case you can’t make one.”

“Totally recommend! Derrick and Bryn are so nice and patient with the kids. They are always telling the kids “keep going” “good job” and high fiving them. My two have been coming twice a week for a couple months now and LOVE it!”

“I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! It’s truly amazing! We enrolled our kids to help boost their confidence, and we've witnessed a remarkable transformation in just one month! I also decided to sign up for adult classes. As a beginner, I know it can be intimidating, but it's a great place to start! The best part is that everyone is supportive and makes you feel included. The coaches are exceptional—knowledgeable and genuinely dedicated to helping every child and adult succeed. You won’t regret joining!”

“My 5 year old autistic son is learning so much at Ohio Jiu Jitsu. I appreciate the 3-5 year old class. The 30 minutes class period is perfect for his attention span and he gets a great workout. He shows a lot of pride in his "ninja skills" and the coaches do a great job redirecting him when necessary.”
