Top of the line gym ran by an experienced UFC fighter. I cannot express my gratitude enough for my time working with Jason Dent. I travel often and always train at local gyms to try and take away techniques from different coaches. I’m blessed to have a 7 time world champ that I train with in FL. But having a one on one session with Jason, he truly taught me more than any other coach in one session. He kept on top of my form and techniques that I needed to change and tighten up. Explained everything so well and made sure it clicked. Not only that, but he is a very humble and good family man. He has the gym running like a well oiled machine, and it’s super clean. There are separate BJJ, Boxing / Mauy Thai, and MMA rooms, plus a weight room and a game room. A full size ring and a cage. What an opportunity for those living in lake county to become a part of this team and learn from a true UFC fighter. I look forward to my next trip up!
For me it started by an email to the owner showing interest in their BJJ program. The owner Jason immediately contacted me and made me feel welcome. Being in my mid 40’s I was a little nervous being the oldest guy there. Thankfully that wasn’t the case. People of all ages (male and female) come here to train. It’s one big family. Great atmosphere! No bullies!
A great gym that I am happy to be apart of! I originally started training Jiu Jitsu in Georgia and was with that gym for four years. Once I moved to Ohio; finding a Jiu Jitsu gym that compared to the one in my home state was proving difficult. I am grateful to have found Griffonrawl because their culture and environment matched with what my former fostered. They provided openness to new comers and teach respect for teammates. I also appreciate how they incorporate realistic self-defense methods which has expanded my training.
A great night Jason is a true legend of Northeastern Ohio or just Ohio MMA. The anvil coach Dave graf. #teamAresnation
Best gym I've personally trained at. Whether you are looking for self defense, self defense and fitness, structure, junior self defense, or to compete in combat sports. There's multiple coaches who have competed at the highest level of combat sports. Best of all is they have the ability and patience to break things down and coach. So rare. Family friendly. Values, and discipline. Everything you can ask for in a martial arts environment. They will invest in you. And if you work hard it pays off. I highly recommend.
