From the reviews
I researched all of the places in the Akron area that offered Brazilian jiu-jitsu before deciding on JW. Definitely the right choice. I was looking for discipline, follow through, something to learn, and something to help me deal with ptsd-to give me back my power,at a time life had gotten pretty boring and stale for…
This is a perfect fit for my now 15 yr old son. Jason is a great instructor & took him in 2 yrs ago despite his age. But with my sons size he needed to roll with adults. My son enjoys his time in class & gets a lot out of it. There are no easy rolls everyone goes all in and learn from their mistakes.
Great place to learn old school, street-practical Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Jason is a patient teacher with a deep knowledge of the subtle insights that make techniques work every time. The academy is a clean, safe environment for students of all ages and abilities. I highly recommend this school to you!
Great place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The instructor is real hands on and treats everyone great. The only regret is not starting sooner. Do not put it off if you are thinking about it!
Your first BJJ class at JW Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
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.
