I had the chance to stop in at Ruffhouse while traveling for work, and I’m so glad I did. Coach Larkin and the entire team were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The technique, drills, and rounds were top-notch, and the sense of camaraderie on the mats made the experience even better. Everyone was friendly, respectful, and passionate about Jiu Jitsu — a great reflection of what the community is all about. I’ll definitely be stopping back in the next time I’m in town!
I’ve been training with Ruffhouse for three and a half years and my son has been involved since he was four in the children’s classes. I have about nine total years training bjj. I’ve had memberships at four other schools in Los Angeles, Connecticut, and another school here in Columbus and this is hands down our bjj home. Having seen numerous training systems elsewhere, the pros and cons, this is my preferred place to gain skills, community, and friendships of high value. Classes run the gamut from self defense to sport/competition emphasis, early morning to later classes to suit your lifestyle, and also the kids classes are popular! I know, I coach one, it’s always growing and for good reason. Nothing feels better than watching your little one feel empowered to take care of him/herself and see that confidence grow :)

Whether you're a complete beginner or have prior experience, they tailor their instruction to suit your skill level. They break down complex techniques into easy-to-understand steps, ensuring that everyone feels included and capable. What sets Ruffhouse apart is their strong sense of community. Everyone here is supportive and encouraging, fostering an environment where you can learn and grow at your own pace. It's evident that the instructors and students genuinely care about each other's progress, creating a positive and motivating atmosphere. The facilities are top-notch, with clean and well-maintained training areas. The variety of classes offered allows you to explore different aspects of Jiu-Jitsu, whether you're interested in competition, or simply improving your fitness. If you're looking for a place to learn Jiu-Jitsu while being part of an incredible community, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of their experience level. It's a place where you'll not only refine your Jiu-Jitsu skills but also make lasting friendships.
I have been training under Panda for 6 years, he is one of the best instructors around. Extremely knowledgeable, passionate and supportive of all his students. The environment at Ruffhouse is great, everyone is helpful, considerate and motivated. So glad I found this gym!
I've been training at this gym coming up on a year now. Coach Larkin is very knowledgeable and eager to teach. His passion for Jiu Jitsu really shows in every class. He has fostered a great team and family focused environment! I have felt welcome from the very start. All ages and skill levels are welcome.
