Ronin Jiu Jitsu Academy

“Ronin Jiu Jitsu Academy is a MUST visit if you are traveling in the Petoskey area! Professor Zach is an encyclopedia of knowledge and his ability to break down a technique into small bite-size pieces and to then methodically bring those puzzle pieces together into a beautiful mosaic of a system was awe-inspiring and was nothing short of art in motion. It is clear that significant thought and effort was placed into the curriculum to ensure a stimulating, effective, and oh so enjoyable class. The culture at Ronin is so welcoming and friendly that I felt right at home and felt instantly accepted as a part of the crew. Thank you so much Professor Zach, Professor Dominic, and fellow purple belt Matt for such an enjoyable and memorable visit to your exceptional academy!!!”

“Was looking for a Jiu-Jitsu academy while staying at our new place in Petoskey and found Ronin Jiu Jitsu on Yelp. After my first visit I knew I didn’t have to look any further. Coach Zach and all the students were super welcoming, and the atmosphere was not intimidating in the least. The instruction was top notch and the rolls were focused on learning, and though the high belts clearly could have smashed me (only a white belt) no one took my head off… which I appreciated 😁 I would highly recommend Ronin Jiu Jitsu to beginners or advanced practitioners.”
