Ohio Combat Sports Academy

“Great environment and awesome people make OCSA the perfect place to train. Regardless of your goals, whether you are a hobbyist or a competitor, this community helps you reach your potential and challenges you to work hard and be better. The skill and knowledge of the instructors is top notch and only surpassed by their ability to cultivate community and camaraderie. I’m very happy to have found this gym!”

“I started BJJ a few years ago. I have traveled to out of state academy gyms. This gym is fantastic. I really felt at home. Everyone is welcoming. The coach Dustin really cares about the students knowledge. I entered one of his tournaments. It was professionally ran. I also know some of the other affiliates of his school. In Marietta Oh also has a great school. I hope to train again with all of those guys. Thanks for the warm welcome.”

“If you are looking to get into shape, make friends, learn how to defend yourself, or just pick up a new hobby then you should definitely check out Ohio Combat Sports Academy. I had trained jiu jitsu for a couple of years and when I was moving to Columbus I wanted to keep it going. I found this gym and I e-mailed the owner. He invited me out to a class and I instantly decided it was the place for me. First, the facility is huge and very clean. It’s a very comfortable atmosphere. Everyone makes you feel welcomed and you quickly understand it’s a safe family atmosphere. There are multiple families that train here and everyone helps each other get better. There are people like myself that just like burning calories and learning some self defense but there are also members that compete in jiu jitsu and MMA matches. It’s a safe, diverse team with many first responders and school teachers as members and instructors. It does not matter what shape you’re in, what your age is, what your background is, or what your goals are. Don’t make the same mistake that I did! I wanted to try jiu jitsu and mma for years but I always talked myself out of it. My first day of training made me realize I wasted years by not just going into a gym and checking it out in person. If you’re interested in learning and becoming a better person then you will find success as a team member here.”

“Great instruction and great team atmosphere. One of the few places that the black belts with stay after and work with you. I felt like a part of the team the first day I walked in, several years ago. Now it's just an extended family. Great for the kids and all the instructors are top notch and go above and beyond. The best part is the entire team is always looking to help each other improve. Highly recommend for kids, adults, and even old guys like me.”

“My 9 year old daughter and I both train at the Ohio Combat Sports Academy and love it. All of the instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. Neither of us had any experience in grappling prior to joining, but we never once felt unwelcome at the gym- every one is great! We’ve been going now for almost two years and have no intentions of going anywhere else to train!”
