They really have something for everyone. A nice covered pistol range with targets at 7, 15, 25 and 50 yards. The rifle range is also covered with 50, 100,200, 300 yard targets available. Also there is trap and skeet fields, an indoor and outdoor archery range, and a place for shotgun patterning. The main clubhouse is fairly large and the biannual Gun Bash has some of the best guns around. They host CMP events, trap and skeet clubs, have range days for children and women. Overall they club is very family friendly, and safety is always the first priority at all of the ranges. You can hunt on the club's land during the appropriate seasons, and I have heard talk of building or converting an existing building into an indoor pistol range. Now for the bad. First the website is totally shit, and who thought "ws" for the TDL (top level domain) was a good idea really has no idea. Second, some of the "senior" member are so uptight that shooting with them becomes a chore. I feel as if the Life members think it is their private club, and since you are just a regular year to year member or not 50+, that you are trespassing. Third, every time you go to the range, someone will be there that has/shot every gun, and wants to tell you all about it. Finally, the gun bash tickets are pretty hard to come by for regular members. The "senior" members seem to get all of them, so very few are left over for regular members. But despite of the negatives, I enjoy the club, and it is a fairly decent value. The 2012 dues are $75 a year, but I believe an increase is coming next year. For the most part people are pretty friendly, and facilities are some of the nicest around.

As in all sportsman's clubs, there are a variety of members, many friendly and good to work with, some not. But with maxed out membership of about 1,500 and shooting sports for everyone, as well as tons of volunteer opportunities to make things better, I look at it all with a much more positive attitude than that other poster. Come out and shoot with us on an open to public time and see for yourself. If you need help ask, if you don't want help just be a safe shooting sportsman or be prepared to get help so that the rest of us are safe. Well, some major changes as senior officer resigned this past month after an intense audit found major holes in his accounting of funds (cash), which was suspected for many years. Sad when someone you trust doesn't have the backbone to be honest and simply resigns rather than have to explain his dubious actions. But the club is now better off and will move forward under new management, with stricter accounting policies to limit this type of activity in the future. Still a great sportsman's club, and I highly recommend it!

I'm a 3 month white belt. Here's my take:…read more Ohio BJJ & Self Defense Academy is an amazing place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, wrestling, boxing and MMA. It is a Pedro Sauer affiliate, with several of the instructors students of Master Sauer himself. Under the leadership of Tony Rinaldi, students are taught extremely technical, fundamental concepts of BJJ, with a focus on technique. There are 9 other black belt instructors who either teach or assist with classes, so everyone gets careful instruction and attention to ensure that lessons, drills and rolling (sparring) is done properly and safely. Ohio BJJ offers classes 7 days a week, and several classes each day to fit any schedule. Each class has a large number of students, which offers a variety of ages, skill levels, body types and both male and female students to give a lot of experience against different partners. The gym members themselves are all laid back and helpful. This isn't your 'tough guy' type of gym, it feels like more of a club atmosphere. New members are quickly welcomed and made to feel a part of the team. There are no real formalities, uniform requirements, or strict rules to memorize, just straight up pure BJJ. Oh, and forget about testing fees, and required advancement ceremonies. When you've proven yourself and earned a stripe or new belt, it is awarded to you by the instructor on the spot. Advancement is not just given after a period of time either. Every stripe is merit based, and when it is placed on your belt you know that you've proven yourself. If you are experienced with martial arts or looking to just get started, this is the place to go, hands down.
