Top level instruction. World Champion Cadre of instructors. Welcoming atmosphere. My son started here four years ago, and was slow to warm up to the idea of Jiu Jitsu. The instructors are patient and encouraging, they keep the training fun. The growth in his confidence has been astounding. After he was well established in the routine, I decided it was time to start as well. As a 53 year old novice who’s overweight and slow, my modest goals in Jiu Jitsu are exercise and self improvement, I’ve enjoyed all my training and the support you get from this top tier group of instructors. Whatever your goals and aspirations for Jiu Jitsu may be, you can reach them with this academy. It boggles my mind to think this world class level of instruction is here in Toledo!
I have been training here for a few months now after a long time away from the mat. It has been awesome! Great environment and friendly people and very clean! Highly recommend this place.
I am quite fortunate to train at a gym with the likes of world champion talent on a regular basis. Competitions aside, BJJ gave me some purpose in life at a time when it was needed roughly three years ago. Thanks for all you do!
Adamas is a great place to train. Instructors are very knowledgeable and always helpful. There’s no other people I’d rather have as coaches. Come get the experience for yourself
Dropped in from out of town on a Saturday and sun. Got some rolls in on two open mats. Great gym. Friendly people/environment. Knowledgeable competitors. Nice mats. Def will be back next time in town. Oss
I can’t say enough great things about Adamas! From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed into a supportive and friendly environment. The instructors are top-notch, with an incredible depth of knowledge and a clear passion for teaching. They take the time to break down techniques in a way that is easy to understand and applicable, no matter your skill level. The training partners here are respectful and dedicated, making every session not just a workout but also a chance to learn and grow. The gym is always clean and well-maintained, and the variety of classes offered—from beginner fundamentals to advanced sparring—ensures there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to compete, learn self-defense, or simply get in shape, Adamas is the place to be. The community here is second to none, and I feel fortunate to be part of it. If you’re thinking about starting jiu-jitsu or finding a new gym, I highly recommend checking this place out!
Awesome place my son just started but I'm sure we are here to stay..
The coaching and experience are exceptional. The atmosphere and environment is fun, competitive and educational. The gym at Adamas is better than I could have expected. We’ve been attending for 5 years, and we definitely have another 5 years to look forward to!
A true martial arts gym where the whole person is trained. Adamas builds great fighters by helping them become better people.
Adamas is a 5 star fighting academy. Whatever kind of fighting someone is interested in whether it is Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Judo, Wrestling, Muay Thai, MMA, Adamas has it with the best coaching. Adams also offers times throughout the day to fit into a person’s schedule. I am beyond thankful for this academy. My children and I have been able to learn and improve our skills from attending.
Great people great coaches friendly environment
Adamas Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic gym! The coaches are great, and everyone is super friendly. It's a welcoming place for all skill levels. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn Jiu Jitsu!
Literally the best gym you can go to in the midwest amazing teaching with amazing an equally amazing competition team!!
I’ve been training at Adamas for about 4 years. The instructors are awesome and there is a good family atmosphere throughout both gyms. If you are looking for a place to learn jiu jitsu, you can’t go wrong here.
Excellent environment to learn! Incredibly supportive great group of guys. Have never regretted signing up 🥋
Great no-Gi class in the morning!
Definitely one of my best gym experiences so far. It’s so hard to find a good family-oriented gym these days but Adamas is 100% top tier in the city
Great environment and very helpful staff definitely recommend for everyone from starters to advanced
World class coaching, best still partners around.
Best place in Toledo to train! World class talent and instructors
Great instruction from world class athletes. Caters to competitive players as well as hobbyists. Friendly collaborative environment
Best gym to train in the area by far. Serious competitors or hobbyist are all welcome and are guaranteed to improve their game, grappling or striking.
Great instruction from some of the best Jiu Jitsu Athletes in the world. They are also humble and eager to pass on their knowledge to their students. Has been great for my children as well as for myself!
Adamas is truly world class and I’m thankful I’m a part of the Adamas family. If you’re looking to try out Ju Jitsu this is the gym for you.
I’ve trained at several different facilities throughout Ohio, and Adamas is hands down the best gym I have found. The quality of instruction and training atmosphere are unmatched in comparison to any other gym I have been to.
Great instructors who care about your development. Very hospitable to people who have no experience. Dante and Max are great coaches!
Took boxing and MMA. Really enjoyed the class and the instructors. I learned a lot in one class. Looking forward to more.
Amazing coaching and great people that train there!
Beautiful clean facilities world class training and great people
Great group of people. Literal world class instruction, not from one, but multiple coaches ! Dante leads from the front, not only in competition, but also in character ! Anytime you’re in the Toledo area, I highly recommend dropping in!
Great place to train, amazing facility, and great instructors.
This is my favorite place to train Brazilian jiu-jitsu because in Ohio I'm basically learning more effective Brazilian jiu jitsu than Florida I'm basically learning North America Brazilian jiu-jitsu in Ohio I was born in toledo Ohio and in Florida I was only learning South American Brazilian down in Bradenton Florida Gracie jiu-jitsu gyms are good but I like jiu-jitsu academy better than gyms for self defense and sport Ohio would whoop Florida in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
As an older athlete I was a little hesitant to jump into a martial art I knew very little about. I’ve now been training here for almost 3 years and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It doesn’t matter what age, level of athleticism or fitness, or if you’re a man or woman. Everyone is welcome here. You can train as much or as little as you want. The instructors are kind, patient and allow you to work at your own pace. The members are friendly and eager to help new students. It’s a clean, safe and friendly environment to meet some really great people and the instructors are world class. I guarantee you will make some really great friends, get in great shape and feel more confident. I’m really happy to be able to train here. It’s been a great experience.
Learned super helpful self-defense skills for a class of young moms. Incredibly helpful and they went at our pace and our level! I walked away with more confidence and more skills than I imagined!
Kelly taught some friends and I self defense and I’m walking away after 2 classes with he & his instructors w confidence to hop into a class and truly learn long term how to use my body in a dangerous situation. Cannot recommend highly enough.
A true Hidden Gem that most people aren't aware exists. Although this place is home to some of the absolute best Grapplers in the World, the culture of the gym is humble and accepting to all. Dante has done a Great job of creating environments for both hobbyists as well as Competitors. I've been training jiu jitsu for over 15 years and have trained at a lot of places and this place hands down has some of the highest skilled yet most down to earth people you will ever meet. If you're in the Toledo area or anywhere within an hour of this place, check them out.
Great gym with world class instructors and a great culture. I can’t recommend it enough if you are looking to switch over or are just getting started as a beginner.
Great atmosphere. Great coaches. Great training partners. This is the place to be if you're in the Toledo area and want to find a place for martial arts!
Had a great class with Max Hansen. Top notch training here.
Took my son here for the kids classes in hopes he'd like it, Coachs Max and Josh make sure the kids have a fun and educational class... the experiance has kept him here loving jiu jitsu for the last two plus years!!! Great place Adamas!!!
I have been part of adamas for 3 years now and lucky this is the jiujitsu gym I chose. Nothing but a positive experience since day one. Literal world class instruction on a daily basis, ego-less environment and very friendly. A perfect place whether you just want to get in shape or enter competition. Instructors and high belts readily available for help. Kelly Hymore(owner) will go above and beyond if he believes he can help someone in any way. Highly recommend!
Awesome gym to learn and practice jiu jitsu. Clean facilities, great culture, and world-class instructors. Great place for all ages and levels of jiu jitsu. Amazing place right here in Toledo.
World class instruction, friendly atmosphere, and invaluable life lessons.
Been here about a year. Very inviting environment for someone looking to start. All the coaches have been super helpful and supportive.
This gym offers top-tier world-class training in a clean family friendly, accommodating environment. The coaches are excellent, armed with an extensive skill set, and they excel at teaching all ages and levels. The competition team is exceptional, holding several world titles and accolades. This facility has extensive mat space, and flexible class schedules that can fit your fitness needs.
Adamas is by far the best gym I’ve been a part of. The amount of skill and knowledge in the room day in and day out is second to none, not only in this area, but in the country. On top of that, the atmosphere is very welcoming. There are no egos in the room, and that includes Dante. My skill level in the short time I have been here has drastically increased and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to switch to Adamas from my previous gym.
World Class coaches and gym. Glad I found this gym
Been training here for almost 3 years. Staff is awesome! World class coaches and teammates.
Adamas Bjj is home to the highest level coaching in all of Ohio. They offer both gi and no-gi classes to suit any grapplers needs. Competitors of all size, belt level, and age are welcome to come roll!
First and last jiu jitsu gym I’ll ever need, the level of competition here is so high you’ll never run out of people to roll with. Clean facilities, great coaches, amazing people.
I took my first BJJ class here a few months ago, and I absolutely love it! It's been such a rewarding experience to learn a new sport, and everyone has been super kind, respectful, helpful, and supportive. The instructors are brilliant and welcoming, and I really enjoy getting to learn from them (literally the best in the world), as well as from other, more experienced students. The atmosphere is great, the facilities are always clean, and as a female athlete, I feel respected and empowered both on and off the mat. Highly recommend for anyone interested in trying a new challenge or looking to level up existing grappling skills!
I’ve trained at 2 other jui jitsu schools before coming here and this gym is by far the best one I’ve trained at! The instructors here are world class competitors and people. All the gym locations are kept super clean and they run a fantastic kids program! Definitely worth stopping in
I have been training for a few years here. Someone taking a crack at jiu jitsu in their late 30s, there was a lot of hesitation and concern . As soon as you start, you will find a culture that promotes growth with no ego. They keep the facilities clean. The instructors are world class both in skill and humility. Fast forward to today, my children are now learning and it’s something I look forward to sharing with them. It’s been a great place to belong to.
I’ve been training here since November 2022.. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming.. The instructors are some of the best jiu jitsu athletes in the world and are super knowledgeable.. There’s no pressure to compete but if you want to everyone hypes you up.. It’s definitely one of my favorite places to be..
Had an amazing time training with the staff and students at Adamas! Very welcoming and knowledgeable people. A definite stop for anyone interested in the sport or looking to improve!
I’ve had the privilege of training at Adamas since moving back here in 2022. By far the best school I’ve attended. The instructors are actively competing, bringing techniques they use successfully on a competitive scale. There is also no pressure to compete, the classes are filled with people from all ages and walks of life. It brings a real unique experience to the mats. If you’re looking to make great friends and training partners then come try it out.
The best BJJ competition school in Ohio and arguably one of the best in the nation. High level guys teaching and training and competing at the highest levels. and every single person I have met from this gym has so much integrity it's hard to fathom.
We went for two days n decided to sign the girls right up super excited to see them do karate 🗣️💪❤️
We are newbies here, but we have not regretted our membership!! My son has been in gymnastics since he was 3 years old. He needed something new, something challenging that would test his patience and discipline but also teaching. This place has that and more. My son was shy at first, but within a few minutes, he felt comfortable enough to join!
There’s no better place to train BJJ/MMA than here at Adamas. The instruction here is second to none having coaches that have competed at the highest level from the UFC to No Gi BJJ world championships. You couldn’t ask for a better atmosphere to train in with a very welcoming and supporting student body from top to bottom.
One of the best group of no gi grapplers I've had the pleasure of training with. When I am able to I make a regular trip out to Toledo to get beaten up by Dante Leon and Co, they are always welcoming and I always leave knowing more than I arrived with. If you are in Toledo definitely check this gym out
If you are looking for a place to build confidence, make friends, and get in better shape, then Adamas is the place to be. They have classes every day, jiu jitsu practitioners of all ages and skill levels from beginner to world class, and CLEAN showers. You aren’t going to find a more thriving community of people who want to better themselves through physical activity and hard work.
It doesn’t get better than Dante Leon’s Adamas Jiu Jitsu. Top shelf training at every level from brand new beginner to world champion. We drive 7.5 hours to train here. Toledo residents are quite fortunate to have world class bjj!
Nothing but good so far, lot of high level competitors and friendly training partners.
Very clean place and a super friendly staff. Had a ton of fun attending the beginners class.
Very welcoming. Great place to start training jiu jitsu.
The owner of the school is ranked number two in the world and is one of the most skilled teachers on the planet. It’s truly a pleasure to learn from this guy. Would definitely recommend this gym to anybody in the area.
Took my granddaughter for the first-time she really enjoyed it
Very friendly staff. They were very welcoming and helpful.
Amazing place with fantastic instructors. They are literally some of the best in the world at what they do. Also just 2 months into practicing in BJJ for the first time & have felt so welcome.
Multiple time world champion coaches, The best around. Super clean facility and family like environment.
This is the best academy in Northwest Ohio! If you are looking at switching academies, trying to up your game, or want to start training in general, than I highly recommend joining GFTeam. This academy now has 2 facilities within 20 miles of each other (Perrysburg and Toledo) and they make champions! When you join GFTeam you not only are joining an incredible academy, but you’re taught by the best in the game and you’re backed by an incredible team! So if you’re contemplating starting BJJ then look no further and join this world class team! My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner!
Ótimo treino, professores e companheiros.
I have trained other places and nothing compares to GFTeam Toledo. If you want to train with the top players in the game today this is it!
All of the guys their have years of experience and they are relative and I personally have a great time learning from these guys.
The coaches are awesome and my Jiu-Jitsu game has improved drastically since training at GF Team Toledo! Come check it out!
