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.

My child is relating to general daily instruction in a whole new way at home, his confidence with other children on the playground has improved at school, and he has an increased body awareness and confidence. We just experienced our first belt testing ceremony, and it was so sweetly presented that it made Grandpa cry with happy pride in the audience. Great experience here so far, and we look forward to many more years of learning with Coach Scott.

She struggles with ADHD and Anxiety, but ATA has helped by improving her focus, self control and self confidence. The instructors are all patient and are always willing to take the time to correct students to ensure their movements are being completed safely and properly. For the owner and instructors, it's not about just getting kids in the door like some places strive for, it's about ensuring they're learning proper technique and life skills! Their passion is infectious, the facility is clean and well kept, and the students are having fun while learning. We absolutely love Chardon ATA and look forward to seeing our daughter (and eventually our son,) continue to grow through this program.

You need a reason to go to Two Ravens? I will give you several…read more It's risk free to try. The equipment is provided so you can make sure you love it before you invest in your own. (You WILL love it.) Lessons are one on one so you get personalized attention. Coach Stone will work on your strengths and weaknesses. He is even patient with me, a girl who is a bit uncoordinated and has never been sporty. It's the sport for people who don't like sports AND the people who do. It is an amazing workout. Lots of cardio and lunges and you won't even notice you are working out. It relieves stress. Nothing like stabbing people after a long day at work. Meet cool people. Nothing like hanging out with a group of people that are at once smart and silly. No one takes themselves too seriously so this is the kind of place you can come fence and not have to feel like you have to be perfect. And if you get into a side conversation about whether a ninja or a jedi would win in a sword fight, well that's just a side benefit. It's FUN! But don't take my word for it. You have to come and try it yourself. Come see why "it's just that kind of fencing club."

As a suburbanite, I was a little wary about the location, and as a complete novice to martial arts, I was a little concerned about the degree to which I'd embarrass myself. After about a month of attendance, I feel comfortable advising anyone interested in attending that it's safe to disregard both of those concerns. Regarding safety - I attend classes on the weekends and at night. I've never felt unsafe. The parking lot is fenced, and the building is well secured. It's as safe as a facility loaded with swords can be. Regarding the novice issue - Coach Stone and his staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. There are students from a broad range of ranges - from kids to senior citizens - from a broad range of cultural backgrounds. Everyone seems tremendously welcoming. The coaching is incredibly patient. I know I'm endlessly making novice mistakes - and certainly repeating the same ones. In spite of this, the coaches let me make my mistakes, and then work to educate me so that I try to make incremental improvements. Beyond that - this is a ton of fun. It's a fantastic workout, and it teaches all kinds of coordination and situational awareness.
