What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Christopher Miles

"Excellent place to train in martial arts. If you are thinking of learning Jiu Jitsu, this is the place that you need to be. I quickly found out that there is absolutely no valid excuse to delay joining if it is something that you are truly interested in. Also, the head instructor is awesome and is the perfect example of a well respected family-man. I have done some other martial arts when I was much younger, but it didn’t really “click” the way this place does. Everyone that trains here are fantastic as well, and are always interested in helping you improve and also understand that you might have a much more limited skill level at first. Overall, I have had an excellent experience training at this place over the past 2-3 months, and I plan to continue coming back for as long as I remain in Ohio. To anyone who reads this review, don’t just take my word for it. Come to just one class. Just 1 hour of any day of the week that you choose. If it’s not for you, at least you gave it a shot. And don’t worry, they have loaner uniforms and your first week is free. Just be yourself and meet a bunch of cool people that all are working toward the same goal."

"Good instructors, good people, and good training. I've trained at several different places looking for a BJJ school that not only had good instruction, but also a great atmosphere to learn in. Glad I found this place, I would highly recommend them to anyone."

Joshua Tarrant

"I have been training at Relson Gracie Cleveland since Dec. 2020. It has been a fantastic experience with great instructors, students and friends. I highly recommend this academy. Mark, Ron and the other instructors/Owners are top notch people."
