I started taking a jiu jitsu self defense course at CWRU with Mark Stefanac from Relson Gracie Jiu…read moreJitsu and, confession...I got totally hooked. Mark offered to let us try out some classes at his school in Willoughby and, from the very first time I went, I felt completely welcome and at home. The other students were happy to practice with me and to provide little bits of advice here and there so that I could learn without it seeming overwhelming. Saturday morning the school runs a women's self defense course, which is free and immensely practical. The beauty of jiu jitsu is that you don't have to be strong - you just have to be smart. This martial art (used by the Samurai and subsequently developed in Brazil by the Gracie brothers - very interesting history) uses leverage and physics so that 100lbs girl in our class was able to beat a 200lbs guy. What I really appreciate about Mark and Ron's school is how welcoming they are. They really care about making a difference in Cleveland through jiu jitsu. They have the free women's self defense course, a fantastic kids program, and they are building a brand new facility so that their regular students will have more space to practice, locker rooms, an area where their kids can play while they take classes, and so much more. If you are interested in trying a martial art, I definitely recommend trying jiu jitsu and, moreover, trying Mark and Ron's school because you can come here knowing that you will be able to learn and practice in a welcoming environment in which everyone is focused on learning *safely* rather than trying to prove that they know more than you. Very glad that I had the opportunity to train here for a few months before I go back to Buffalo and, because of this school, I will definitely be looking for a place to train in Buffalo.

Lead teacher, Shihan is a wonderful Karate teacher. His patience is legendary, we started attending…read moreKarate when my son was a very rambunctious 4 year old and I was concerned my son wouldn't be able to stick with the program because he was a rowdy little guy, but Shihan never once lost his patience and helped my son practice regularly. We are now 3 years into lessons and I recommend the program highly. Its a great way to stay on a consistent schedule in the summer and to get out of the house in the winter. From a practical view: there's lots of class times across the week, a weekly e-newsletter you have regular access to updates, there are regular belt promotions that give students small goals. Shihan also has students work on weekly goals and has them work on positive mantras while they are younger. Like "I will always try my best." Personally, while we started the program when my son turned 4, he's now 7 and still enjoys Karate. He practices katas which are series of moves in a row (like 10-12) they take weeks to practice and offer my son a great way to practice his left/right and focusing on his foot positions or his stances. Due to his early access to these classes he easily takes to new spaces, over the summer he participated in wrestling summer camps. These were completely new for him but because he was already in the practice of working with students, teachers and sensais he took to the camps easily. He didn't hesitate and take a ton of time being shy in the space but instead was confident and even understood physical boundaries with other students. He knew how to practice wrestle with little instruction. He even volunteered to go in front of the group to practice moves.

The teachers really know what they're doing and are great with the kids. Grandmaster Park, his family, and the other instructors really care and are focused on building a community here. We really enjoy going here! I would also like to point out that any review over a couple years old is going to be irrelevant as the current owners are not any of those people. We love everyone there currently.
