Welcome to the online home of The Chagrin Valley Jiu-Jitsu Academy, Northeast Ohio's premier facility for the study of traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu! We're glad you're here!
At The Chagrin Valley Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we are committed to sharing the art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu as envision by its creator, Grandmaster Hélio Gracie.
Grandmaster Hélio's art is a complete system of self-defense based on the principles of efficiency and leverage, and is designed for the express purpose of giving a smaller, weaker person the ability to survive against and overcome a bigger, stronger assailant in an unpredictable, "serious business" situation.
Your training at the Chagrin Valley Jiu-Jitsu Academy will focus on all of the striking, throwing, and grappling skills that make the original "mixed martial art" so effective in the cage and on the street, all learned and practiced in a safe and structured classroom environment. You will also learn the philosophy underlying the art, and the tradition that is represents.
Instructors at the CVJJA are industry professionals with decades of teaching experience and rank certifications from some of the most respected names and organizations in the art. The CVJJA is also a proud member of Master Rickson Gracie's Jiu-Jitsu Global Federation (JJGF).
On the other pages of this site you can learn more about Grandmaster Hélio Gracie and his art (WHAT IS GJJ?), our FACILITY & INSTRUCTORS, as well as how we do things at the CVJJA (STUDENT INFORMATION). So take a look around and then, when you're ready to begin your Jiu-Jitsu journey, reach out through our CONTACT page to schedule your FREE trial class!
We look forward to seeing you on the mats!
