Are you looking for boxing, jiu jitsu, wrestling, MMA training? Are you a woman looking forward a…read morenew form of exercise (mixing in some self defense) in an intimidating atmosphere? Or a man or woman looking to up your martial art (whatever that may be) skills is a micro- specialized gym? BJJ MMA Fitness is your place in Columbus. It's old school, but clean as a whistle and such a professional atmosphere. "Old school" in the sense it's minimalist because you don't need a lot of fancy equipment for your coach to teach you martial arts. Also "old school" because the coaches are professionally trained - clearly taking mutual respect for coach and student as well as seriousness of your training program to heart. But - they meet you where you are - just push you to be your best. Here's my personal example: In California, I used to box in a micro gym (pre-COVID) then I had a personal trainer that I had to let go. Since November I have not been able to find a replacement. I came to Ohio for the fall and by happenstance landed here for a trial class. Bob gave me a full hour of mitts and noodles and got me back to training with the patience of a saint and the teachings of an expert. If your curious about martial arts, want to revisit your old training or looking for a new gym with qualified experts, this is a great gym to check out. Have fun!

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.

I've been training at Ronin for a few months now and I'm absolutely addicted to it. I'm studying…read moreBJJ and Muay Thai, and I occasionally get a workout in there. I've also started my older son in kids BJJ. I wanted to wait a few months before I reviewed. Below are a few high points of my experience at Ronin in no particular rank order. 1. Family atmosphere. Everyone there is welcoming and warm. I've been utterly shocked at how helpful and friendly everyone is, from the staff and trainers, to my fellow students. It's a tough thing to walk into a legit fight gym for the first time. It's also extremely humbling. My experience at Ronin so far in just a few short months has already positively impacted my mental health and the way I approach life. It's quite unbelievable. 2. World class instruction. BJJ is where I spend the most time. How truly lucky is Columbus, OH to have Vitor Oliveira, a world champion Jiu Jitsu competitor, teaching here? Vitor is a machine on the mats in competition and has dedicated his life to Jiu Jitsu. But he's also a fantastic coach. However, the culture he has instilled is what stands out to me the most. A fish out of water if what it feels like the first class you attend, but every single student of his has been welcoming to me, non-judgemental and extremely helpful. Everyone is truly interested in each others progression. Laurah Hallock, who manages the gym, is the only female black belt in Columbus, and she is also a fantastic instructor. For women considering BJJ, they have a womens only class once per week and the other classes are coed. BJJ is the ultimate equalizer to strength, so women considering self defense should consider it first and foremost before anything else. For Muay Thai, Aaron Bogg's class has the same feel. Aaron has a knack for instruction and he's also serious about his students progress. He made me feel comfortable within 10 seconds of my first class. I'd love to have more time for Muay Thai. The same culture is prevalent in his class. 3. Kids BJJ. I've started my older son in kids BJJ and the instruction and class format for the little ones is perfect. If you want your kids to learn discipline, patience, impulse control and be able to truly defend themselves in this crazy world, look no further than Jiu Jitsu. They sort the class by age group, so the little ones don't get mixed in with the bigger kids. Sarah, Des, Sal and others do a great job keeping it fun with games and drills that develop important skills and knowledge at the same time. They're putting in showers right now which is a bonus. They also have a weight training area, a boxing ring and an MMA ring. Boxing classes, Judo, Yoga, Kids Wrestling and a Ronin Fit class are also taught at Ronin. If you have any doubt about where the best train, visit Ronin and see for yourself.

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.

We joined about 6 months ago and we signed a 2 year contract. Recently, we decided to move out of the area and the way the situation was handled was phenomenal. I had offered to pay the difference of the cost of the in contract membership and the out of contract membership for the past 6 months, so $60 plus pay on the price of the out of contract membership. Instead of asking me to pay the $60, they just had me raise what I pay to the normal out of contract price for the remainder of my time here. I can't say it enough. These are awesome people.
