Established in 2004 by Chris Chard, The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Center of Ohio is an exclusive training facility for the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). We have one of the most experienced training rooms in all of Cleveland with 12 Black Belts and over 170 years of collective experience. Our headquarters is located 30 minutes from downtown Cleveland or Akron in Walton Hills, Ohio.
We also have affiliate schools across Northeast Ohio. BJJ uniforms (Gi) and No Gi (rash guard and grappling shorts) apparel are required for training. Training apparel must be clean for every class. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that is offered separately from the Jiu Jitsu program. We do not permit drop ins.

I started training at the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Center of Ohio in the summer of 2005. I sat in on a class to see what it was like, and then i came back to participate in a class. Since then Chris Chard has been like a father to me, and the other students like a family. I've been driving 45 minutes each way to train at this gym for over 5 years. The gym's students range from people taking their first class with no interest in competition to professional mixed martial arts champions. If you live in northeast Ohio, you have to check out this school.

One of Ohio's best places to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and/or Mixed Martial Arts. BJJ is a great, fun way to get in shape and learn to defend yourself. The owner/head coach Chris Chard is an experienced trainer who makes sure everyone learns and trains at a pace appropriate for the individual.
I've been training at Ohio BJJC for over 3 years and I lost 60 pounds in my first 4 months and have kept it off. Classes are held regularly and people of all ages (minimum 15) and fitness levels are welcomed by the experienced team.
I highly recommend Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the Ohio BJJC
