Great instruction and everyone was friendly . A+ on the lobby music .
I couldn’t ask for a better gym to train at and work. Top notch instructors that push me to be better everyday. If you don’t like any fluff and want coaches that push you and tell you the truth this is the place for you. As a father my daughter trains here as well I have notice a total difference in her confidence. We love our gym. Come check us out.
I’m in town visiting family and wanted to drop in to stay sharp for an upcoming comp. I called beforehand and came a little early to sign a waiver. They couldn't have been nicer. Very cool experience.10/10 would recommend. Their people had great technique as well. Thanks for the hospitality.
Best MMA school in Cincinnati area. This place will make you tougher and stronger not just physically but also mentally (if you have children, have them train there!). At JGMMA, you will make friends who become your family.
I’m 44 years old and started training BJJ at JG little over two years ago. I had no idea how much more I could grow as a human at this point in my life, but absolutely mind blown how much more confident I have become! The professors, coaches, and staff are amazing and welcoming. If you asking yourself is it to late to start at an older age, it’s not!
This is an incredible gym to be a part of. Everyone is extremely nice and super helpful. They provide an excellent environment to develop and hone your skills.
My favorite place. Favorite people. I have been a soccer coach my entire adult life and the coaching here is world class.
Professor Jorge and the other coaches are great! Professor Jorge is really patient for my kid who has anxiety and has been teaching him to be more confident. He really takes the time to get to know every one of his students and I admire that.
I could not recommend JG enough to anyone looking to learn to keep themselves safe. The staff is both knowledgeable and professional. Genuinely JG MMA has changed my life Professor Gurgel is the definition of a master of his craft and will MAKE CERTAIN you get better. Regardless of who you may be or where you may be in your life. In short, if youre looking for self defense, community, confidence or just plain fun. This is the place to go
So grateful that our son has the opportunity to train here with some of the best instructors. We love it here!!! Highly recommend!
Amazing gym. Amazing teachers. Amazing people. Professor Jorge holds a high standard and treats everyone with respect. This place has become a home away from home for me and my family.
Awesome coaches and staff. Great vibes amazing times
JGMMA is the highlight of my week. If I could be here more often I would. I've had a tremendous growth in character since I joined over 3 years ago. Everyone here is a second family. Also, Professor Jorge's tan and hair are impeccable.
"This establishment provides an excellent platform for children to acquire self-defense, martial arts, and self-discipline skills. They offer a diverse range of martial arts programs, including boxing, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and judo, suitable for all age groups. The coaching staff is exceptionally skilled and dedicated, contributing to a positive learning environment that my children genuinely appreciate."
I love the place and the teachers they are really nice it’s a great place
Great place for kids and adults to not only learn martial arts but respect, confidence, discipline and mental toughness.
My two sons have been attending here for one year and we just signed up for another. After all this time, I have no doubt this is the place for them and our family! Too many positives to mention in one review. Mostly great people, always great staff, and consistence in training.
This school is awesome! I have no complaints. My son has trained Herr for 4 years and loves it. JG MMA is part of out family for life!
Great instructors and a lot of classes to choose from.
Walking in I was intimidated and unsure of myself, months later I feel very empowered and confident and evolving with my jiu-jitsu journey. What I appreciate most about this School is that no matter your belt level, Whie belt to Black belt you are all learning together. Supporting each other and keeping each other going. The Professors and Coaches will get on the ground to help you understand the things that they are teaching. You never feel like your learning alone, everyone around you supports you. Just a level of community that makes you want to just show up every day.
Our daughter has been training for just over a year (started at 10yrs old), and she’s gained so much strength, patience and learned how to engage with others with respect. She loves training! *** also, learning how to stay calm and focused under stressful situations has been golden!
My son and I both train at JGMMA and we have had a great experience. The coaches are knowledgeable and we have both made lasting friendships here.
I had a great time. this place was very welcoming anyone who are from out of town and had a great staff.
It's the best school hands down ×) get trained up for the New Years resolution..
Super awesome place, very welcoming and very professional.
I have been training jiu jitsu for close to 13 years and recently moved to the Cincinnati area. Since joining up with JGMMA I have learned just how special this place is. Since day one they have treated me like family and been more welcoming than could’ve ever been expected. Every instructor is completely dedicated to their students and making them better not only in jiu jitsu but life as well. I promise that jiu jitsu schools like this one are extremely rare or down right don’t exist. If you’re looking for somewhere to start jiu jitsu or have been training for awhile this is the place to be.
Love JGMMA! Such a wonderful place for both of our daughters for reasons unique to each of them. Highly recommend to anyone considering- both kids and adults
This school is where champions are made walking in I immediately felt the love. The energy here screams family. I’ve never felt more in my element and at home from the coaches to the staff this school isn’t only the place to train but the key to growth. Hard lessons with extremely knowledgeable coaches, right along with the student I’ve been able to call friend in such a short time. Thank You JGMMA for giving me the confidence to grow here.
JGMMA is the premiere martial arts school in Cincinnati if not all of Ohio. The facilities and equipment are top level. The students are positive and uplifting to each other. Professor Gurgel has an energy that inspires his students to be the best version of themselves. His eye for technique blew my mind. He will help you improve whether you’re 5 or 65. Give JGMMA a call right now!
Couldn’t be more pleased with the amazing coaches and professors! We love JGMMA!
Exceptional training and discipline. Professor Jorge sets the bar high for his students in regards to discipline and the will to be the beat you can be. The journey of training process is mapped out very well. I appreciate the willingness to challenge trainee students to do more each class as well as to respect their peers on and off the mat! I strongly recommend Jorge Gurgel MMA!
This training facility is top of the line. Great people and very helpful coaches. They will push you to your greatest worth and make you the best fighter you can be. All they ask for is that you show up and put in the work. I’m very satisfied with this gym and going to stay.
This is an amazing place to learned self-defense and they are family
This place is absolutely amazing! The professors are hardworking and really give you their all for your training. The environment and the people here are great and I’m glad I found this place to learn Jiu Jitsu.
They are upfront about their costs and business model, they offer a good and useful trial period. All of the coaches are attentive and very helpful, they push you to both be intense and safe with your techniques. This has been a good 2 months.
I came into jgmma looking for a meaning and I have found it! Jgmma is a second family to me and have made me into a better person! 10/10 best school out there!
JGMMA has a coaching staff beyond comparison. Their attentiveness to each and every student that takes an interest in this sport is truly remarkable and makes everyone who visits feel welcomed. The JGMMA coaches are kind, patient, and understanding, as well as stern and assertive in order to push you closer to your goals. The atmosphere at JGMMA is lively and enjoyable, and the staff members truly take their time to ensure your needs are met. JGMMA does an outstanding job of focusing on the wellness and improvement of each athlete that enrolls at their gym.
JGMMA is by far the best Martial Arts Academy around, the Coaching staff is very high level and second to none. The environment is very welcoming and friendly with a high sense of community. The gym is always clean and the staff is very professional. JGMMA is the best place to gain Confidence and learn humility. Whether its learning new technique or growing as a person, you always leave better.
Es increíble el trato de los que ahí trabajan. dia a dia aprendido nuevas formas de defensa personal
Awesome great instruction
Had my first muay thai class tonight and I felt very welcomed, everyone was so friendly. I feel the urge to succeed. Very professional, I really recommend this place to anyone.
The staff here is very friendly, there are not a lot of places in Cincinnatti like this, you walk in and feel like home and the atmosphere is all hard work and professional. This is the best around.
Professor Gurgel and Reeves (as well as the entire JGMMA coaching staff) are absolutely second to none. From the moment you walk in the door you will be greeted with enthusiasm, respect, and the drive to work hard. I had been training for only a short time when I moved to Cincinnati and visited JGMMA. I had tried several different gyms in the Cincy area for BJJ and Muay Thai...after experiencing JGMMA there was no where else in my mind that I could think of training. I was hooked. The coaching was impeccable, workouts were amazing, and the people were even better. Whether you are a seasoned fighter, brand new on the mats, or simply in town visiting...JGMMA is the place to be!
Офигенное место! здесь очень классная атмосфера. Мы ходим на занятия для самых маленьких. Тренера знают каждого ребенка по имени. каждому уделяют должное внимание. Чистые маты, чистые раздевалки. Видно, что за порядком тут следят. Строгие профессора реально то, что необходимо современным детям. Кроме самого джиуджитсу здесь преподают философию этого учения. Нам здесь безумно нравится!!!
They do a great job with the kids. My seven year old daughter loves it and my middle child will be starting soon.
We absolutely love this school the whole family does jiu jitsu.. Jorge has done a absolutely amazing job with my son who has autism.
We just love it. The discipline and the confidence learned can be seemed by the youngsters. I totally recommend it to anyone of all ages. The class goes by so fast and every week the kids get stronger and more confident in everything inside the gym and outside. Please check them out for yourselves you be the judge. I guarantee you will love it. We past up several other Martial Arts, Tae Kwon Doe, and other places closer to our house to attend here.
I've been taking Muay Thai classes for about two weeks. It has turned out to be one of the best decisions that I've ever made. Everyone is so willing to help and instruct. Stick with it and you 'll find that you learn to let go of the daily stress and adapt to something bigger than yourself. You go home tired and smarter...and I'm grateful for that. I'm excited about the future! I cannot recommend this place enough!
Love this place so very much! My 4 year old son has gained body awareness, discipline, and loves having somewhere to get his extra energy out. The professors are phenomenal. Cannot say enough great things. Highly recommend for any age!
Super humble but outstandingly skilled people. I wish I lived closer. I recommend this place to anyone who is interested in any aspect of grappling or striking at any skill level.
Very professional safety aware fun and family like vibes. I love training here #JGMMA#SASTEAMUSA
Been going here for 2 weeks now. Everyone has been extremely supportive and friendly. The professors take time to make sure you get a firm grasp of the moves and understand the fundamentals behind each drill. They genuinely want you to succeed and to push you past your boundaries. I looked around a number of gyms prior to joining and felt right at home at JG. If you want to get in shape, be held accountable, and be motivated, this is the place to go!
My son has trained here for almost two years, and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience. Professor Gurgel and Coach Jake are excellent with the kids, putting as much emphasis on developing them as athletes, as well as well-rounded people. Respect, independence, teamwork, tenacity, and discipline are expected in an environment designed to make everyone feel like family, and allow the kids to thrive. My son loves it and I can't imagine him having this success anywhere else.
This is a great place to train also the family like environment is what sets this school apart from others.
I have really enjoyed going to the Muay Thai classes. Professor Gurgel really teaches you, even as a complete beginner, and all the more experienced members are friendly and respectful to newcomers.
I've recently switched BJJ academies and I am now training with JG. It was very simple transition and I already feel welcomed within the school. I am very pleased with the switch and am excited to see how much I can learn from Professor Fluffy and Professor Jorge.
Decided to check this place out as I am trying to get in shape. These people just started choking me. 5 out of 5 would recommend.
Really high quality training, they'll teach and progress you quickly without compromising your well-being
Great teachers.....great school....training for adults and kids....me and my son love it!...
My son loves this gym. He has buddies that attend here and really does feel like his 2nd family!!
I can’t say enough great things about this organization and the people whom make it what it is. I’ll try to complete this review objectively, however I am a student at this gym and feel as I’m part of the family here at JGMMA. First, the people... Professor Gurgel, Professor Fluffy, Coach Jake and all of the other coaches here are phenomenal people! Each one brings a different dynamic to the classes and they put their hearts and souls into their work. They are truly legitimate professional martial artists, instructors and they set the example of what to live by. My 11 year old son and I began taking classes here almost one year ago. The people here are someone we both look up to. Second, the facility... The staff takes great pride in keeping the gym clean and organized. The mats are brand new. It’s conveniently located just minutes from I75 and easy to find. Third, the classes... I don’t think you’ll find a gym in the tri-State area with as many classes and class times. There are classes throughout the week at varying times so there is no excuse not to train. If you are looking for a gym to train at, this is the place to be!
Address has changed pay attention and go to West Chester address. 6875 Fountains Boulevard Suite K West Chester, OH 45069
Great place. The only criticism would be that in order to sign your child up, you have to sign a year's worth of classes and payment is auto deducted from your checking account. I don't know you , but my teenage child gets interest but then looses interest and then you stuck with the bill for the entire year. I have expensive sports equipment sitting around collecting dust. I would rather sign up for a 3 month introductory period and see if his interest continues. Otherwise he still likes it and they seem professional in their approach to teaching.
