Excellent place to train in martial arts. If you are thinking of learning Jiu Jitsu, this is the place that you need to be. I quickly found out that there is absolutely no valid excuse to delay joining if it is something that you are truly interested in. Also, the head instructor is awesome and is the perfect example of a well respected family-man. I have done some other martial arts when I was much younger, but it didn’t really “click” the way this place does. Everyone that trains here are fantastic as well, and are always interested in helping you improve and also understand that you might have a much more limited skill level at first. Overall, I have had an excellent experience training at this place over the past 2-3 months, and I plan to continue coming back for as long as I remain in Ohio. To anyone who reads this review, don’t just take my word for it. Come to just one class. Just 1 hour of any day of the week that you choose. If it’s not for you, at least you gave it a shot. And don’t worry, they have loaner uniforms and your first week is free. Just be yourself and meet a bunch of cool people that all are working toward the same goal.

Good instructors, good people, and good training. I've trained at several different places looking for a BJJ school that not only had good instruction, but also a great atmosphere to learn in. Glad I found this place, I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at RELSON GRACIE JIU-JITSU CLEVELAND. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! RELSON GRACIE JIU-JITSU CLEVELAND welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at RELSON GRACIE JIU-JITSU CLEVELAND train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at RELSON GRACIE JIU-JITSU CLEVELAND. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
