I'm writing this as a parent (and former martial artist). I do not currently have the ability to…read moreadd my own classes to this (because... kids, y'know?) My son attends, and he LOVES this place. Let's start from the top: Matt "The Immortal" Brown: super chill dude. When he coaches, it's about technique, and my son loves it. Their other instructors - these are the guys I wish coached him in (some of) his other sports growing up. They are supportive, approachable, fun, and friendly. Yeah, sometimes it's too much for a kid, but they aren't getting yelled at, they aren't getting thrown into a gauntlet, they aren't getting picked on. They're being pushed in a positive manner. Hanging around, it's clear how friendly the people attending the other classes are, as well, which just speaks to the vibe of the place. Plain and simple, when my son hits adult classes, I plan on attending with him.

Great pricing and you get to work with elite fighters and UFC legends. They're both understanding for newer athletes and push the limits of your abilities. Can't recommend Immortal Martial Art more, if you're in the Columbus area, there's really no other option in my mind.

There are a number of top ranked competitors that train here. I was involved in a number of Martial Arts systems up into my 30s but I hadn't practiced anything since. Now being in my 50s I got the itch to get involved again but I wasn't interested in competing again. I wanted a more practical self-defense system to learn. I chose Krav Maga and I'm so glad I did. I have learned so much and had so much fun. Casey Boyer is an excellent instructor and the Krav team is a very friendly and fun group. The Krav Maga classes have really hit the spot! If you're searching for a training center, then I'd give Ronin a try. I think you'll be impressed too.

Not sure that I ever wrote a first review, but happy that I can be first to say great things about…read moreSuper System. Let me preface this by saying that I don't claim to know BJJ. I have only been practicing a short time. There are some things that I am very educated on such as customer service, good people, and passionate individuals. This place checks all of those boxes. I was in the area for work and prior to my visit, I emailed the website asking about "drop ins". In probably an hour I received a very welcoming reply with the class schedule and asking about my abilities so I wouldn't be in over my head. BJ greeted me, showed me around, and got me set up for the Basics course that was taught by Tyler. Tyler did a great job describing the technical aspects of what he was teaching and got around to everyone making corrections. I learned a bunch. The facility is unreal. Very large, spotless, and well laid out. I hope that someday I can return. Pretty sure I forgot my mouthguard, but that's a small price to pay for a great experience.

Also, his ability to break down movements into digestible pieces was always extremely helpful for me. He definitely put a lot of emphasis on the fundamentals. Lastly, the thing I most appreciative of Zack is not only his knowledge, but his patience and encouragement. There was a lot of times in my Jiu jitsu journey where I felt like I wasn't making any process, but Zack was always right there offering reassurance and guidance. Highly recommend!

In my time with the gym I have seen it grow in both skill and size and it does not appear to be slowing down any time soon. There is access to both talented ex wrestlers and guard players so there is no shortage of ways to improve your game. This is a gym truly worth traveling to if you're in the area.

This gym has an amazing kids program that starts at 4 years old. They have one kids coach per every 2-4 students which keeps things safe! The mats and common areas are very clean, and smells good (some gyms I can't say the same!). They offer kids, adults, women, and self defense classes. No egos in the gym, just great people.

My boys have been participating in the Gracie bully-proof program since last fall (2015)…read more Cameron(and Kane) are great with the kids. They seem to enjoy what they are doing. The kids are learning and having fun. The place is clean, parking is ample. The classes are small but large enough for all the kids to participate with a partner. What makes this program different from others is the kids are learning to protect themselves without hurting the bully unless they have to which keeps them from getting into trouble with the school. Freuently you'll see the bully and the child trying to defend themselves getting into trouble. That should not be the case here as the kids are learning to subdue and apply pressure (pain) as needed without causing unnecessary harm to the bully. The techniques work with any size. You will often see small kids paired up with.larger kids because size does not matter here. If you can subdue the bully and apply a little pressure on those sensitive spots you get get someone to leave you alone. I cannot speak on the adult classes , however I assume the apply the same the same techniques just more in depth. I have seen fake weapons so I believe he teaches them how to disarm someone if need be. It is also a little gentler on the body than other martial arts.
