Testimonials
I started coming to Griffinrawl right after my high school sports ended. I wanted to try something new and compete a little bit(even though I new nothing). After the couple months of training I was hooked. I loved being able to train hard, have fun, and learn new things. While being here I was also given the chance to compete. I have never competed inside the ring before and that was a new experience. I honestly think that griffinrawl helped me show case my abilities and pushed me to get my first ever victory. It is a great gym and feels like home. Proud to say I'm from Griffinrawl!

Griffonrawl Combat Sports & Fitness has been my home since I was 15 years old. I loved it when I started then and I've grown to love it more years later. I not only grew as a martial artist here, but also as a person. The gym is surrounded with great people, creating a positive and friendly environment.

I got into kick boxing when I lived in Oregon. As i prepared to move to Ohio the first thing i did was look for a new gym to continue learning from and working out at. GriffonRawl was one of the top gyms to pop up. I messaged the gym and heard back quickly. Once i moved i joined the Combat & Conditioning class. The coaches are encouraging and will push you farther than you think you can go. Everyone is friendly and care about everyone. I recommend this gym to anyone whether you want to become a fighter or just train like one.
