Ruffhouse Jiu Jitsu Columbus

“I've been training at Ruffhouse for a little over a year, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to start training here. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a friendly and passionate team of instructors and fellow practitioners. The atmosphere here is inspiring and motivating. The coaches at Ruffhouse are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and dedicated to helping each student succeed. Whether you're a complete beginner or have prior experience, they tailor their instruction to suit your skill level. They break down complex techniques into easy-to-understand steps, ensuring that everyone feels included and capable. What sets Ruffhouse apart is their strong sense of community. Everyone here is supportive and encouraging, fostering an environment where you can learn and grow at your own pace. It's evident that the instructors and students genuinely care about each other's progress, creating a positive and motivating atmosphere. The facilities are top-notch, with clean and well-maintained training areas. The variety of classes offered allows you to explore different aspects of Jiu-Jitsu, whether you're interested in competition, or simply improving your fitness. If you're looking for a place to learn Jiu-Jitsu while being part of an incredible community, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of their experience level. It's a place where you'll not only refine your Jiu-Jitsu skills but also make lasting friendships.”

“This jiu jitsu school is great! Very organized, very friendly and great for kids & adults. My 9 year old daughter loves coming to train here.”

“I’ve been training with Ruffhouse for three and a half years and my son has been involved since he was four in the children’s classes. I have about nine total years training bjj. I’ve had memberships at four other schools in Los Angeles, Connecticut, and another school here in Columbus and this is hands down our bjj home. Having seen numerous training systems elsewhere, the pros and cons, this is my preferred place to gain skills, community, and friendships of high value. Classes run the gamut from self defense to sport/competition emphasis, early morning to later classes to suit your lifestyle, and also the kids classes are popular! I know, I coach one, it’s always growing and for good reason. Nothing feels better than watching your little one feel empowered to take care of him/herself and see that confidence grow :)”

“My husband has been going here for almost 2 years. He has learned an invaluable skill set and is extremely happy with Ruffhouse. It has been fun to watch him improve in the time that his been there. He is proud to tell me when he has made a new milestone. The owner is supportive and has been very kind to not only my husband but to myself as well (who is not taking classes). The instructors take the time to make sure he is comfortable with the moves, and if he needs a little extra attention they make sure he gets it. The location in Gahanna is convenient to not only our home but also to his work. We would not go anywhere else. Thanks Chris and the Ruffhouse team!”

“I've been training at this gym coming up on a year now. Coach Larkin is very knowledgeable and eager to teach. His passion for Jiu Jitsu really shows in every class. He has fostered a great team and family focused environment! I have felt welcome from the very start. All ages and skill levels are welcome.”
