samuel ellis
"I highly recommend Gracie UA. Wonderful community and instructors welcomed me as a novice- very congenial atmosphere. Nice blend of self-defense and BJJ technique. I’m very pleased with the personalized attention I receive from the instructors and higher belts. Everyone in the room wants everyone else to succeed, lending to a super-collaborative mood. NoGi grappling also accessible here."
Jenna Riemenschneider
"Dave has a great place on Indianola. Jiu jitsu for all sizes and helps you modify to your skill level and body type. Very friendly and open environment, good gangster rap for open mat. Highly recommend!"
Russell Varner
"This place great! I’ve been training for about a month now and love it. The instructors are very knowledgeable and super nice dudes, not to mention patient with the new students like myself. At first I was very intimidated by the idea of starting Jiu Jitsu. But that quickly went away after my few classes. Everyone is super nice and inviting. No egos or meatheads here. I would encourage anyone who wants to learn Jiu Jitsu, try UA!"
Amy M
"I HIGHLY recommend UA Jiu Jitsu in Clintonville (Columbus), Ohio! The women's self defense class taught by Dave on Thursday evenings is outstanding. His instruction is excellent and the class environment is friendly and welcoming to all levels of experience including beginners or those more advanced. I highly encourage all women to try this class!"
