Hurricane Jiu Jitsu — Northeast Ohio’s Leading Martial Arts Academy

Hundreds of men, women, and kids have called Hurricane Jiu Jitsu home since 2014. Together, we’ve won local competitions, established Cleveland’s largest Women’s Jiu Jitsu Program, and most importantly, changed lives.

Welcome to our Team.

Discover the premier Northeast Ohio grappling and self-defense training at Hurricane Jiu Jitsu. We offer classes tailored to every level — whether you're a casual learner, or aspiring martial arts competitor. Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) programs promote a healthy lifestyle, boost flexibility, support weight loss, and make every session fun and engaging.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a dynamic self-defense system focusing on takedowns, ground control, and submissions. A submission in BJJ involves techniques like chokes, arm locks, leg locks, and foot locks, designed to immobilize opponents safely while having the potential for control or restraint. At Hurricane Jiu Jitsu, safety is paramount—students learn to "tap" early to prevent injury.

Our diverse community includes beginners training casually one or two days a week, and dedicated competitors honing their skills through intensive drilling and sparring. Led by active, competitive instructors, our BJJ classes stay at the forefront of modern technique, ensuring you learn both classic and cutting-edge Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Hurricane Jiu Jitsu fosters an informal yet focused environment, blending the best of traditional martial arts with a modern, ego-free approach. Join us to master self-defense, build confidence, and thrive in our supportive community.
