Hands-on, Real-time Learning
Live Rolling Builds Real‑World Skill
One of the key aspects of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the use of live sparring, also known as "rolling." This approach allows students to apply techniques in real time against resisting opponents, helping to solidify muscle memory and build confidence under pressure. Unlike many martial arts that rely heavily on forms or drills, BJJ students learn through realistic practice. This makes every class dynamic and engaging, and it helps you progress faster. Whether your goal is self-defense or competition, rolling gives you a safe and controlled way to test and refine your skills.
Rooted In Excellence
The Logan Satellite of ONE Academy
Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is offered under ONE Academy Logan, which operates as a satellite gym of ONE Academy Athens. Logan instructor Mr Aaron Raymer teaches under the direction of Professor Carlos Mendez, a seasoned black belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu. ONE Academy not only connects students directly to the Gracie family’s legacy of excellence, but to other students up and down the SE Ohio valley at other ONE Academy gym locations. This lineage ensures our curriculum stays true to the art’s origins while integrating modern, effective techniques.
