For more than a decade, this school has been my jiu jitsu home. I've sharpened my skills, competed at a high level, and made great friends. The classes stand out because you regularly train with multiple black belts, alongside Professor Chard's excellent instruction.
I started training at the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Center of Ohio in the summer of 2005. I sat in on a class to see what it was like, and then i came back to participate in a class. Since then Chris Chard has been like a father to me, and the other students like a family. I've been driving 45 minutes each way to train at this gym for over 5 years. The gym's students range from people taking their first class with no interest in competition to professional mixed martial arts champions. If you live in northeast Ohio, you have to check out this school.
One of Ohio's best places to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and/or Mixed Martial Arts. BJJ is a great, fun way to get in shape and learn to defend yourself. The owner/head coach Chris Chard is an experienced trainer who makes sure everyone learns and trains at a pace appropriate for the individual. I've been training at Ohio BJJC for over 3 years and I lost 60 pounds in my first 4 months and have kept it off. Classes are held regularly and people of all ages (minimum 15) and fitness levels are welcomed by the experienced team. I highly recommend Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the Ohio BJJC is THE place to train in NE Ohio.
