I was dropping in from out of town and Professor Paul was extremely welcoming. The atmosphere was great. I’ve trained in many places throughout the US and it says a lot about the school when they welcome an outsider to drop in and treat them well.
I had the pleasure of doing a drop-in class and open mat at North Coast Jiu Jitsu Club (NCJJC) while visiting family in Cleveland and it was an absolute blast! Professor Paul Hido is truly the funniest professor that i have had the pleasure of learning from which made my experience at NCJJC particularly memorable! Professor Paul's BJJ knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to tell stories and break down complex processes into easy to understand concepts is quite amazing. The culture that I was able to experience was so welcoming, collaborative, and warm that it is easy to understand why there are so many happy and eager-to-learn students at NCJJC. The rolls were very enjoyable and particularly technical which I appreciated so much as it made my drop-in experience so unique compared to other drop-ins that I have done in the past at other academies. Whether you are an experienced and seasoned competetive BJJ player or a hobbyist wanting to learn and enjoy our beautiful art, this is the academy for you! If I lived in the Cleveland area, there is no doubt in my mind where my home academy would be....and that is at NCJJC! If you are on the fence on whether to give NCJJC a try, let this review be that little nudge to do it as you will be doing yourself a favor and you will not regret it!!!
A perfect place to start jiu-jitsu, or continue your training journey. Brand new, beautiful facility. Schedule allows for a ton of gi and no-gi options. I can’t speak highly enough of my training partners and our highly experienced coaches. Great atmosphere. Such a well-run place. If I could give it 6 stars, I would! Highly recommend.
I can't say enough great things about North Coast Jiu-Jitsu in Northfield, OH! Our experience started with a 20-minute phone conversation with the owner, who took the time to thoroughly explain the structure and programming for the kids’ classes. He was incredibly easy to talk to and answered all of our questions, making us feel confident about enrolling our children. Our kids have been attending for three months now, and they absolutely love it! The program is held two days a week, and the coaches strike the perfect balance of keeping the environment fun while still holding high expectations for the students. We've seen tremendous growth in our kids, both in terms of their skills and confidence. The supportive and engaging atmosphere at North Coast Jiu-Jitsu makes it a fantastic place for any child to learn and grow. Highly recommend!
I love this place! The instructors provide excellent details and will work with you 1-on-1 during open mat. The members are great partners and can go at your pace, whether you're a white belt or black belt. The environment is super friendly to brand new members, men and women. The kids classes are well-run and a fun way to build confidence in your child. The gym is constantly improving by tweaking classes based on member feedback (striking classes, positional sparring classes). The schedule is second-to-none with classes every day (during the day and in the evening). If you are considering starting or are a seasoned-vet, this is the place for you!
