What Our Students Say

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

Mason Travis

"I’ve known Travis for almost 3 years now, he has so much knowledge to offer for his students. Travis is a phenomenal instructor, his classes offer a great balance of demonstration and technique, as well as a safe environment for sparring. Watermark Jiu Jitsu offers a top notch facility that is super clean, and even has a pit wall, which is pretty awesome. I highly recommend anyone in the Cleveland area to come check out Watermark Jiu Jitsu. 10/10"

jack laraway

"I came in to train at Watermark from out of town. The gym was very clean and the mats were top quality. The class was small and intimate which made for a lot of 1:1 instruction. Both Travis and Trevor did a great job of observing everyone’s technique and offering helpful pointers. The students in the class were very welcoming and not hesitant to train with me being a drop-in from out of town. Overall, the class was very balanced regarding time for technique, drilling, and rolling. I’ve known both Trevor and Travis for 10+ years growing up in CLE and I have nothing but good things to say about these 2 brothers. Their passion for coaching and learning the sport of Jiu Jitsu is second to none. I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to up their Jiu Jitsu game at a gym that truly feels like a family atmosphere."

Adam Reed

"There’s so much I could say about Travis. I had the privilege of training with him for 4 years, both as a training partner and under his guidance as my coach. To this day, he remains the best teacher I’ve ever had. His ability to break down techniques with clear concepts, combined with his patience and openness to questions, is what sets him apart. When I was a white belt struggling with confidence and feeling like I was falling behind, I went to Travis for private lessons. His guidance played a huge role in helping me find the right direction and build my game. If you're in the area or considering starting jiujitsu, I can confidently say this is the place to go. Travis has created an environment that offers everything you could ask for: a positive and welcoming atmosphere, a hard-working training room, and a deep dive into both techniques and concepts. It's rare to find all three in one place, but he’s truly captured them all."

Jim Cahlik

"I can’t say enough great thing about Travis and his new gym! He is the only mentor I have who is younger than me and has made a huge impact on me both personally and professionally. His ability to both teach the fundamental concepts of Jiu Jitsu as well as break down the fine, intricate details of advanced concepts makes him one of the best. This gym is far from me but I will make it a point to still come visit. If you live in or around Breckville this is your gym. Newbies to advanced practitioners - he even teaches kids classes."
