Gracie Cincinnati Jiu-Jitsu

"Very welcoming individuals at this bjj site. Broke down the movements well and I appreciated the critiques. They had 4 black belts at the afternoon class which it's always nice to have that experience around. Thanks again. Definitely looking at joining while in the area."

"Stopped in last week during family visit. This place is simply outstanding and chilled. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and hardcore. The instructors have a way of teaching that meets my understanding. I thought during my stay in town I would have a scheduling issue, nope, they have a very flexible schedule as well. I plan to attend this gym the next time I am in town. I would recommend this gym to anyone attending BJJ. Thanks."

"I had an incredible experience at this gym during my week-long visit to town from Phoenix. I was fortunate to find it just a couple of miles from my hotel. Before my visit, I called ahead and spoke with Tricia, who was exceptionally welcoming. She kindly arranged to loan me a gi and quickly introduced me to the instructors. From the moment I stepped onto the mat, everyone was friendly and accommodating. I attended three classes that week, including both their fundamental gi class and a no-gi class. The two primary instructors, Kenny and Randall, were very knowledgeable and even took the time to roll with me. All the students were also open and willing to work with a newcomer from Phoenix. I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in town, and I highly recommend this gym to anyone!"

"I love this place. My family was relocated from Costa Rica and I was looking around to find a place for my 8y/o daughter. I want her to defend by herself, be confident and empowered through no aggression or hitting because she is kind and sweet. After visiting many places with my daughter she didn't felt the "pura vida" mojo in other gyms. We visited the school and the very first day the instructors talked to her, literally at her level (they seat down and talked to her eyes); she felt welcome and the people in charge of the school (owners and Tricia) make us feel part of a family. Long story short, not only my daughter loves her Jr Lion class but I also started in my 40s (we share techniques and play at home) and I really like my instructors Randall and Steve because they are the BEST."
