The Jorge Gurgel Mixed Martial Arts Academy

JG MMA provides the best Brazilian Jiu jitsu instruction in the greater Cincinnati area. After training at other martial arts schools I can personally say that the level of instruction here is world class.
Not only does this school create high level competitors but Jorge Gurgel (head instructor) takes great pride in the way he teaches his students. Techniques are extremely detailed and are drilled until everyone has done them correctly. This is a great place to train!

The Jorge Gurgel Mixed Martial Arts Academy, previously known as JG MMA, is a world class Brazilian jiu jitsu, judo, muay thai boxing and MMA training facility. The vast 30,000 square foot space is conjoined with the Xtreme Fitness and Performance Center and the Powerhouse Gym (strength and conditioning partner).
I particularly like the Academy because Instructor and 3^rd Degree Black Belt Jorge Gurgel takes great pride in personally teaching technique on an individual basis. Ever present and teaching many of the classes, Professor Jorge takes a personal approach and will make sure you have mastered every detail– even if you are just starting out.
Adults and Children of all ages are welcome. Parents have a great vantage point watching their kids from the observation deck overlooking the mats. Its a great layout!
A testament to the Academy and the caliber of training is Instructor Jorge Gurgel was a professional MMA fighter in the UFC, Strikeforce, Titan Fighting Championship and currently competes in International Jiu-​Jitsu tournaments. The Academy has trained multiple UFC, Bellator and Mixed Martial Arts champions including legendary UFC fighter Rich Franklin. The Academy has 13 affiliate schools including locations in Brazil and Dubai.
Always a very friendly group, you will be warmly welcomed whenever you feel you want to give it a shot!
