BJJ in Columbus

I am working in Columbus (worthington) for the next couple of months Monday - Thursday.

Are there any good schools for beginners (less than 5 months experience) preferably after 6:30pm?

THanks in advance,

I'd check out Dustin Ware's place. He's a real cool dude, and I've only heard good things about him.

There are also several school databases you could try:

TrainJiuJitsu.com
bjjMap.com
Gym Database (BJJ, MMA etc)

Dustin is my instructor, and IMB is an awesome school. And you really cannot beat the price.
$75/month for unlimited classes in BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Submission wrestling, and so on.

However, since you are in worthington, you might want to try the Relson Gracie academy. It costs a bit more though.

Robin Geisler runs the Relson school. It's been around awhile so he may have beginner and advanced classes. Not sure about Dustin's but I've only heard positive things about both guys/gyms.

Robin Geisler is an awesome instructor and the school is the 2nd oldest BJJ school in the country I believe. There are around 3 black belts that train there, a couple brown belts and a bunch of purples.

I actually moved from Hilliard back to to Pittsburgh two months ago. If you're in Worthington, I'd suggest the Gracie Academy, if you can afford it.

Off the subject, if I had a kid, I wanted him to go to Thomas Worthington High School. For some reason, I thought that school looked nice.
