From the reviews
Here in 2026 for a monthly, no-cost youth skills development session. This level of coaching, decades of inernational coaching experience, and dedication to individual success is rare. Yet here it is in Springfield, Ohio. A gem that needs to be appreciated. We will be back. Often.
Great coach, I learned more about gripfighting in one night than I have training bjj for two years
Super experienced and kind coaches. Price is right, convenient class times. It's wonderful here.
Run by Professional, respectfulness Sensei’s. The Sensei’s work well with the children and kids look forward to returning to the dojo.
Your first BJJ class at Ohio Judo and Jujitsu 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.
