i am from columbia and started training bjj in 2010. i know several of the black belts here as i used to train with them. whenever i come home to visit my parents i try my best to make time to come to deep waters as they have an early AM class that suits my schedule. I couldnt ask for a better school to train at when i am away from home. The instruction is great and no one trains with an ego, they just want to make themselves and their training partners better, which is a top quality in a gym that i prefer. i would encourage every one who trains or wants to train to check out Deep Waters!
I am here on vacation from Outer banks, NC. Emailed the gym ahead of time and got a very friendly and welcoming response to come on in when I was in town. I dropped into the open mat from 9-11 got there about 10 o clock. Was greeted right away and set up with a waiver, and was able to get right to rolling. Long story short, this gym was very welcoming, friendly, and a great place to gain some experience. There were no egos, no aggressive rolls or people ripping subs. I got a chance to roll with almost everyone there, they were also helpful in teaching me what they got me with and how it was set up. Over all amazing group of individuals, military and prior military, helpful and high energy with a great family atmosphere. I definitely recommend training here if you are in the Columbia area. I will definitely be back as soon as possible.
Today was the first day EVER for me to try Jiu Jitsu. I went to the 5 am class. Daniel, the instructor was incredible and the group of people that were in the class were great and extremely welcoming. They were super helpful as clearly I didn’t know what the heck I was doing but by the end of it I was having a blast and sweating my face off. I have a Crossfit background but this was completely different than anything I’ve ever done. I’ll be back this week for another round. If you’ve never done it I suggest starting here. I don’t have anything to compare this particular gym/studio to but I know I won’t be looking any further it was such a great experience.
The instructors at Deep Waters are the true standard of martial artists. This school is full of practitioners with many years of experience. There are several black belts that train there who have created an incredible environment and team atmosphere that’s welcoming to people from all walks of life. I can not say enough good things about this place. There are two things I can promise for anyone who begins training at Deep Waters: 1. You will get really good at Jiujitsu. 2. You will make a lot of awesome friends.
By far one of the most welcoming places I have EVER been to. Every single person here is amicable and great to spar with. The two hours of open mat was extremely rewarding because no one goes easy, but no one goes all out unless you request it. I learned from every person here and will recommend training here too anyone serious about jiujitsu. Thank you to everyone here for making my training, experience, and stay in Columbus that much richer.
