From the reviews
Super friendly, went for a drop in class when visiting from out of town for work.
My seven-year-old just competed in his first grappling tournament. This organization is so well run and Tyler is an amazing coach for these young kids. I look forward to my son’s future development in the sport and the discipline it brings him.
Been visiting Findlay Jiu Jitsu for years and every visit I learn something that helps my game.... Most importantly a great environment to learn and stay safe! Tyler Beckley and his staff do an amazing job....

Your first BJJ class at Findlay Jiu-Jitsu Academy
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
