I must say that I love and highly recommend 1-Up Jiu Jitsu!! Paul and Jon are fantastic instructors. I have never done any Jiu Jitsu prior to coming to 1-Up, which for the longest held me back from trying a gym. But deciding to give 1-Up a chance has been one of my greatest decisions. Everyone is super welcoming, the instruction is fantastic and literally everyone is willing to help you out. The classes are fun and you learn a ton every time. Plus, its super affordable (especially for what you get). Whether youre just looking for something new to do, a new workout, or a potential way to defend yourself in real life situations, do yourself a favor, and give this a try! Jiu Jitsu may not be for everyone, but if youre interested or already know you want to learn this, then look no further than 1-Up Jiu Jitsu!

An amazing Jiu Jitsu school. Great instruction from a very well rounded team. Lots of different backgrounds coming together to make better martial artists. The training keeps you on your toes, and its always fun. If you every wanted to be part of a great team, check out 1 Up Jiu Jitsu.

Hands down the best Jiu Jitsu program around. Friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. If youre new to Jiu Jitsu, or just getting back into it, 1 Up Jiu Jitsu is the place for you!!! Outstanding youth program, Paul and his team are absolutely amazing with the kids! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

I’ve been a martial artist and combat sports competitor since 2003. I can say that you will not find a better place to learn Jiu Jitsu than 1-Up. What makes Paul and Jon stand out is the individual attention you’ll receive. They take a strengths-based approach to help you develop YOUR jiu jitsu...which I will tell you makes all the difference.Try it out. It will change your life for the better.

Just started going here and Im having a lot of fun so far. Paul is extremely patient and great at breaking down complex moves so that even a novice can understand. Everyone Ive met so far has been extremely kind and encouraging. Initially, I was intimidated to try jiu jitsu because I have never done anything like this before. So glad a friend recommended 1-Up Jiu Jitsu.

Incredible instructions, friendly atmosphere, and great one on one training with Paul the instructor. I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to take their game to the next level!

High level instruction with spacious facility. Friendly informal atmosphere. Best price in Cleveland.

I have been going to 1-Up Jiu Jitsu for about 6 months now. Though I have done some martial arts sporadically in the past, this is my first exposure to BJJ. What I like about it besides the great group of people, is that it is very un-intimidating. What I mean by that is that everyone wants something different from BJJ and the instructors do a good job recognizing that and helping you achieve your goals with the right amount of encouragement. For me personally, It is a great way to get a workout and also learn some pretty cool stuff that could actually be applied in a situation should the need ever arise. I think 1-Up is a great place to come whether you want to get into something new or your coming back with some experience and are looking for a place where you can get one-on-one training in a more intimate setting. Open mat is Friday!

1 Up is a great place to train. Unlike traditional martial arts schools it is a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The 1 on 1 attention you will receive from Paul and Jon is unparalleled in the community. The price point is remarkably affordable. They teach kids as well. All things considered, there are no excuses not to be learning jiu jitsu when it is affordable and in your backyard!!!

Great place - Paul and Jon are amazing teachers and the group is very welcoming!

Teachers are great and willing to help all levels. Totally recommend!

Awesome awesome awesome!!!
