"I live pretty far but I was here awhile ago and Michael and Adam are so much fun to learn with and train with. They have a lot of talented guys there too and if I were to ever move back to Cleveland again I would definitely get a membership here. Really happy to see the gym getting striking recently too and they got a new place which looks awesome. I might stop out next month again. Hope the best for these guys and excited to see how far they can take their gym."
Julia Balodis
"We joined the tackle family almost a year ago. My husband, Ray, and 2 boys train there every week. We love it. There is a ton of variety and they make sure there is instruction for every skill level. Adam and Mike are extremely welcoming, talented and kind. I'm most familiar with the kids instructor Stefan who is amazing and my kids look up to. Teaching jiu jitsu to small children definitely takes a special kind of person. He's coached them through their first wins and loses in competition, which is no easy task - ha. I'm excited to see them continue to develop their love and skill for jiu jitsu."
Michael Pontious
"Two buddies and I came in for open mat. Mike (the owner I believe) let us roll around no fee on Friday night and was very nice and friendly. We even got a chance to roll in the car they had too. Great place and people"
Donald Hines
"Fun group of competitive guys. The owner was very open and welcoming. Came up with some interesting ideas that makes Jiu Jitsu more fun"
