This is one of the best schools in the country! I have trained here for years. The people are some of the kindest I have ever met. Always friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The instructors are very personable and knowledgeable. World class competitors and coaches. High level teaching, cutting-edge technique. Incredible kids program, the children have incredible proficiency. There is ample training space, shower, loaner gi, lockers, changing rooms. For any ladies looking to get into the sport. There are women's classes, and they have good attendance and female instructors. Training 7x a week, and open mats on Sunday. Multiple class times throughout. Gi and Nogi. The school was affiliated under Gracie Barra for many years but has since rebranded and became its own thing. read more

My 6-year-old daughter has been training here for one year now and we both absolutely love it. We initially transferred to this gym because of their hands-on teaching style and low prices. We've stayed because of the sincerity and authenticity of everyone here. Everyone (kids, coaches, parents and anyone who trains here) are very kind, supportive, respectful and helpful. My daughter has experienced good days and bad days, but what I love most is how they teach the kids perseverance, a positive attitude and how to learn from each roll. The coaches genuinely care about your child, both their physical and emotional well-being. They make connections and teach them, not just jiu jitsu but character developing traits and philosophies. I'm sure the kids don't even realize it, all they know is that they are having fun with their friends. We are very thankful to have found this place. We are a military family and we are not looking forward having to PCS and find another gym. We just know it won't be as special or great as Gracie Barra Columbus has been. We were looking for an extracurricular activity, instead we found a family. read more

I have been training at Gracie Barra Columbus for a little over 2 years now. I came into the program with no previous BJJ or grappling experience. Overall my experience with the gym has been superb! I have explored many different forms of fitness and stress relief and have found training at this gym to be superior. Professor Joshua Bowlin is a world class BJJ practitioner and has a teaching style that is fun and engaging. The entire coaching staff have fostered an inviting environment that is as comfortable for new students as it is informative. There is a good mixture between both Gi and No Gi classes and techniques range from the fundamentals to the more advanced and newest techniques being utilized on the jiu jitsu circuit today. The philosophy present in the gym is very open minded and new concepts are always embraced and explored. The content of the curriculum covers various avenues of the marital art, including general self defense, women's specific self defense, sport competition oriented jiu jitsu and anti bullying mindset. They have classes for small children all the way up to adults. Camaraderie, respect and positive mindset are among the values that are promoted within the gym and can be felt when interacting with the students. It's additionally a great workout for both physical and mental well being and has helped keep me balanced personally. I couldn't recommend both Professor Josh, or Gracie Barra Columbus more! read more
