Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program in Mentor, Ohio

Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program here at GR is Instructed by Jeff Starr who is a Black Belt under Relson Gracie. Our Team has won many competitions and fights thanks to this program.

It doesn't matter whether you intend to compete, are training for fun, or fitness we are here to help you meet your goals.

The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes will teach you to use your whole body as a weapon. Since attacks, movements and changes in position can occur without a person physically seeing what their opponent is doing, "sensitivity" is a major part of BJJ; therefore, time spent on the mat is of the utmost importance. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Sparring and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position from which to force an attacker to submit via chokes, joint-locks, etc.... It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant.

You will find that this is one of the most challenging yet rewarding things that you will ever do. BJJ will teach you to rely on yourself, to value the input of others, and most importantly to respect both your own skills and those of others.

Equipment/Gear needed - In the BJJ class participants must wear a gi, a mouth piece, and a cup. If you can't get a gi right away shorts and a t-shirt will suffice but you will not be getting the most out of the training or be able to get promoted when the time comes.

This class is offered three times per week; Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Testimonials

  • I started coming to Griffinrawl right after my high school sports ended. I wanted to try something new and compete a little bit(even though I new nothing). After the couple months of training I was hooked. I loved being able to train hard, have fun, and learn new things. While being here I was also given the chance to compete. I have never competed inside the ring before and that was a new experience. I honestly think that griffinrawl helped me show case my abilities and pushed me to get my first ever victory. It is a great gym and feels like home. Proud to say I'm from Griffinrawl!

  • Griffonrawl Combat Sports & Fitness has been my home since I was 15 years old. I loved it when I started then and I've grown to love it more years later. I not only grew as a martial artist here, but also as a person. The gym is surrounded with great people, creating a positive and friendly environment. GR welcomes anyone that is looking for a great workout or to learn martial arts. You'll find a variety of great coaches, members and fighters that are willing to share their w...

  • I got into kick boxing when I lived in Oregon. As i prepared to move to Ohio the first thing i did was look for a new gym to continue learning from and working out at. GriffonRawl was one of the top gyms to pop up. I messaged the gym and heard back quickly. Once i moved i joined the Combat & Conditioning class. The coaches are encouraging and will push you farther than you think you can go. Everyone is friendly and care about everyone. I recommend this gym to anyone whether you want to become a fighter or just train like one.
