I would love to make it to all the classes, but I usually end up with some conflict. But I do my best to make it to at least 2 or 3. It is by far the best workout I have ever done. First of all it is fun, so it doesn't feel like you are working out. I have also met a bunch of girls in the area that are great to hang out with. Oh and Master Chun makes it easy, so there is not a problem with feeling stupid or not having any experience with martial arts before. I haven't had any before and he made it very easy to pick up the moves right away. Great place to go if you are looking for a new workout that you will want to do for a lifetime!

Experienced GriffonRawl, Combat Sports and Fitness for the first time last Friday for a Womens…read moreAwareness & Self Defense Clinic. Two words: extremely impressed. I knew nothing about the facility or what to expect; a friend had posted the clinic information on Facebook and I thought it would be something worth while to try out. Boy am I glad I did! The owner Jason reached out and answered all of my questions in regards to signing up for the class in an extremely timely manner, and offered to provide additional assistance in case I had any problems. I didn't have any problems, it was a smooth process signing up and paying for the class and I received a quick confirmation and a reminder the day before. They are extremely organized and informative when it comes to "newbies". Upon entering the gym I was immediately greeted and was directed on what to do to sign in and prep for the clinic I signed up for. To be acknowledged that fast in a room full of ladies coming in for the class is quite impressive. I immediately felt welcome (considering my own feeling of intimidation because I was in a MMA gym). Jason was there checking people in and providing proper paperwork to fill out for the clinic and the other staff members were present to provide assistance if needed. Everyone was super welcoming and kind and I quickly became comfortable in the setting I was in. As mentioned earlier, I signed up for the Womens Awareness & Self Defense Clinic. End result? I was not disappointed! I cant even begin to describe how well the clinic was presented. A former Seattle Police Department patrolman/detective, and current owner of Hope Athletic Training Institute, partook to discuss the concept of situational awareness. He provided a ton on information and shared real-life examples. His portion of the clinic really opened my eyes to knowing the importance of always being aware and decisive if ever needed. The second part of the clinic was live hand to hand self defense instruction taught by the owner of Krav Maga Cleveland. Of course he also stressed the importance of situational awareness first and if ever needed, he taught through example, ways in which to respond if a physical attack occurs. Jason (owner of GriffonRawl) also participated in the clinic and chimed in key points as they were being discussed. He evaluated the hand to hand defense as it was being practiced and focused on proper technique and stressing quality over quantity. He shared "key points" that would be handy to know if ever in a physical situation and stressed the importance of making yourself aware by watching some self defense videos on youtube etc. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable and went above and beyond what I ever expected. In conclusion, if I had to rate GriffonRawl on a 0-5 star scale, I'd say 10! I truly enjoyed myself that night and was wowed by the level of professionalism from the owner and staff and cleanliness and set up of the gym. Jason, you have great things going on a GriffonRawl. Bravo! Looking forward to the next one!!!

First, you have to be a member, but it's super cheap to get in, even if you're a YMCA member out in Cuyahoga County--and trust me, it's worth the trip. $5 for adults and $4 for kids is a steal, when you think about how much you'll spend at your typical waterpark. Putt-putt, basketball courts, soccer fields, cabins, hiking trails, rollerblading, rock climbing and one helluva sweet water park! Got babes? Try the wadding pool. Youngins? The splash and the kiddie water park is perfect. Or if your kids are strong swimmers, have them take the swim test and enjoy a huge pool with two water slides and aqua rock climbing walls. I swear my boyfriend's 8 1/2 year old lost his friggin' mind (and yes, he requires that I include the half year.) I also love that the snack shack includes healthy and unhealthy snacks, including fruit, froyo, chips, popsicles, ice cream bars, hot dogs, nachos, low calorie and fountain drinks. Plus anything you forgot at home, like pool noodles, sunscreen, goggles and more. But hey, want to bring your own food, drinks and snacks for your kids? You can totally do that, too! WHAT?! Yes! Seriously, I love this place. Come here with your kids, they'll love you forever (and ever.)

I brought one of them yesterday and she had so much fun and wanted to come again. It's obviously meant for all kids but as a heads up, I think it's best for neurotypical kids aged 1-5. Beyond five and I can see them getting bored quickly unless they come to play with a friend or siblings. Lots of gross motor activities as well as an arts and crafts room for fine motor skills and a game room too if your kid likes that kind of stuff. They have a zip line and a trampoline and a climbing wall too. I talked to the 3 year old I babysit that there are kids here who play differently from her. I told her they calm and soothe differently from her and sometimes they have a harder time waiting. We talked in the car about letting other kids have a turn first and we can come back to a toy if a friend is having a hard time sharing. She very much understood and didn't hesitate in the new environment. She hasn't per se been exposed to neurodivergent friends so I thought she did amazing - kind & offering preferred items first to others. Anyway, a great way to spend a cold or rainy day. Staff was amazing too. Thank you!!
