Shihan Rodger Pyle was understanding and patient with me when other coaches/teachers weren’t and the staff and students are all extremely supporting and helpful. This place made me feel seen and understood. Thank you so much Shihan Rodger Pyle for these classes and providing a comfortable, fun, and educational experience.“

“My son has been here for several years. The classes are structured and challenging for my son. They provide classes geared towards competition as well, which i believe an important aspect to learn in life. The studio is fairly large compared to others and has a variety of equipment for drills and training. The instructors care about the development and improvement of the students.“

“Awesome group of people ! From the leadership to the ppl that train there. It appears that anyone who has trained there for some time takes ownership in "how" the classes run. They foster a learning environment and are quick to say "take care of your training partner, we all have to go to work tomorrow." I'm over 50 and I Havent experienced anything that settles your mind better than BJJ. A trusted friend who was going to this gym got me started and his reasoning was that "these are the kind of people that we like to be around." ppl that don't take themselves too serious, work hard, have a good time and no ego. He was correct and I am fortunate to have started at Chitwood. This is the only BJJ gym I've been around, but it's easy to see how the wrong atmosphere could be very intimidating and turn someone off to Bjj altogether. So, If you're thinking about BJJ, I recommend starting with Chitwood. For myself, after a couple months it was obvious that if i didnt enjoy going to class, it will most likely because BJJ isn't for me and not because of the atmosphere or ppl there.“

“My 15 year old son loves this place. The people are extremely nice and patient with those who are learning. The practices are engaging and include all levels (basic, medium complexity and advanced) of activities.The cost is very affordable: 100$ per month for adults and 65$ for those under 18.You can come to any of the classes throughout the week, but ideally they recommend to come at least 2-3 times a week so that you keep progressing.“

“My first visit to Aikido of Columbus was for a workshop for Being in Movement for everyday applications. Paul Linden is one of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, truly empowering his students by listening and trusting us to experiment. Throughout the workshop as well as Aikido classes, Paul taught me to listen to my body, and helped me uncover truths about myself I thought didn't matter. Paul, thank you for the life changing experience, the community, the sacred space you've created (both in Columbus and in our minds/bodies), and for the global work you do building peace and healing trauma.“
