This is a really great place to start your jiujitsu journey. I’ve been coming here for about 3 months now and the people here have made my experience amazing. The professors are very supportive and really good teachers. They teach techniques very meticulously and also make the class fun and interesting. They are also very strict on safety and making sure we don’t injure ourselves.

Our family loves this place! My husband trained here for a little bit several years ago and loved it, but unfortunately couldn’t make the time for it anymore. But he still followed them on social media and that’s how we found out they had a program for little ones. We were looking at getting our daughter (3 at the time) started with an activity and decided to give it a shot. I had never been here before, but I felt so welcomed when I brought her in for her first class — and now she’s been going for over a year! She absolutely loves going to class and she loves her teachers, Mr. Mike and Ms. Natalie. They are so unbelievably patient and just so great with the kids. My daughter is becoming so confident in herself and I’m so proud of her. I definitely recommend this place!

Love this community and the brand new, massive NEW LOCATION! When I finally decided to get back into Martial Arts and was considering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, many people suggested I meet Robin Giesler and his Relson Gracie academy. I found the Gieseler’s and their instructors to be quality people, with a heart to teach both kids AND adults the gentle art of JiuJitsu. After a year of training 4-5 days per week now, I personally have not only lost weight and gained muscle, but I’ve also learned self defense techniques and disciplines that could save the life of my loved ones, or myself. More than that, my 2 son in laws now train here and we’ve all gained new friends, and would strongly recommend other families looking to get more active (both parents and kids) come check out some of the beginner and adult and kids classes in this big, clean, new location!

I had my first bad physical about two months ago and my doctor got on me about being more active. I hate going to the gym so I started looking around at martial arts classes and stumbled upon Gracie Ohio so I signed up for an introductory class. It’s the best decision I have made in a long time. Everyone is kind and supportive and generally amazing, especially with a fat, old guy like me. I am getting in shape, learning to protect myself and having a blast in the process. The best part is now my young daughters want to come and do the kids program! It’s really awesome to have an activity to share with my kids that we both enjoy. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

Gracie Ohio is a fantastic gym. Great facility, amazing instructors and wonderful culture. Having started my BJJ at a different gym, I can say if I started here, I'd be much further along with my skill level.

I was in the area for training for my job and I stopped in here to train for a few days. The gym was welcoming and the instruction was incredible. I went to the advanced class and beginners class and all the instructors were very kind and welcomed me as their own. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the Columbus area! I can’t remember all the instructors names but thank you!

The instructors and experienced members have been incredibly kind and welcoming. The environment of the classes is so positive and supportive. My first few classes have been a great experience.

Incredible place! I dropped in for their Friday open mat from out of town, and everyone was very kind and welcoming. Michael helped me feel right at home! Definitely visiting again as soon as I can.
