From the reviews
Fantastic academy to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Professor Jason is a great teacher and very experienced. Family friendly environment with classes for kids and adults. Highly recommend training at Gracie Allegiance Ohio.
I started training at Gracie Allegiance Ohio in the fall of 2023. Professor Jason Cable and all the other students have become extended family. Not only does Gracie Allegiance Ohio have a great adult program but also kids and teenagers. Several of us enjoy helping coach the kids and teens.
My son recently started with this wonderful group. He decided that he wanted to try Jiu-Jitsu and we chose to go with Gracie Allegiance Ohio Members . To say we are in love is an understatement. He absolutely loves coming and has been so excited to try something new to build up on his already great character.
Great school for beginners and advanced practitioners! I wrestled for 10 years and the crew helped me incorporate my wrestling into my juijitsu game. Plus these are lots of seminars taught by high level athletes to take advantage of. 10/10
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Allegiance Ohio
Gracie Allegiance Ohio comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Gracie Allegiance Ohio
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.
