Authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, taught with discipline, patience, and respect.

Owner & Head Instructor
James has been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 12 years. As the owner and head instructor of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Reynoldsburg, his mission is to bring proven, beginner-friendly BJJ to the local community — the kind that builds confidence on day one and stays with you for life.
Every class he teaches is rooted in the same principles that have made Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the most effective martial art in the world: leverage over strength, technique over aggression, and respect on and off the mats.
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Reynoldsburg is proud to be affiliated with the Pedro Sauer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association — one of the most respected lineages in the art. Master Pedro Sauer is an 8th-degree coral belt and one of the original Gracie students, recognized worldwide for his commitment to teaching the self-defense roots of jiu-jitsu.
