The most fun ive had as an adult. Travis is a phenomenal instructor for all levels and ages. Definitely worth checking out if you're interested in learning real, in depth martial arts.

Could not recommend this gym more. Travis is an outstanding instructor with a huge arsenal of techniques and you can tell he loves teaching. The facility is top notch as well. This gym is a gem for the area.

Travis is an incredible instructor. I’ve always appreciated his dedication to the sport and his focus on nuance. Something he does better than many coaches is stay up to date with the “meta” so his Jiu Jitsu is never outdated . The facility is great, awesome mats, great lounge area and he’s fostered a tough room that is simultaneously welcoming. If you’re in the area for vacation or considering Jiu Jitsu and are local I recommend you check him out.

Watermark is an elite Brazilian jiu jitsu gym in northeast Ohio. Travis Anderson’s knowledge, experience, and teaching style is great for competitors and hobbyists of all levels. If you live in the area or are just passing through I highly recommend dropping in for a class.

Great instructors and an incredibly supportive community, along with an extremely clean facility and a schedule that can accommodate pretty much anyone’s lifestyle has been my experience here so far. Whether you’re just starting out in jiu jitsu or looking for a new gym, I highly recommend giving Watermark a shot.

Watermark is an awesome place to train at for grapplers of all levels. Very clean, hands on coaching, and has some of the best mats I’ve ever trained on. Will be back, thanks Travis!

Watermark BJJ is a fantastic place to train. They’ve got a schedule well balanced between gi and no-gi classes, students of all experience levels, and a super clean and welcoming facility. Travis is an outstanding instructor on top of it all. I always enjoy my time here.

Black belt head instructor/owner Travis is a highly technical, detail-oriented instructor. If you are new to jiujitsu or even if you have been around awhile, you will eventually realize that it's those "little" details that make the difference between win, lose, or draw. In competition, it's nice to win. In real life self-defense, you simply cannot afford to lose. As a new person to jiujitsu, it can sometimes take years to understand which details are important. That's why it's so important to have an instructor who actually KNOWS jiujitsu and is willing to share what he knows with students. As a black belt myself, I highly recommend Watermark for the: high quality instruction, respect for the art and for the student, professionalism, welcoming environment and, as an added plus, beautiful facility in a lovely wooded environment with big windows. Jiujitsu is a long journey and the sooner you or your child can get on the right path with the right guide, the better for everybody.

I had the pleasure of dropping in for a week while visiting my kids, and I have to say, the facilities were the best I’ve ever seen. I can’t emphasize enough how well-maintained and top-notch everything is. The team was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home. The professor brings a modern approach to BJJ that’s different from the traditional style I’ve experienced, but in just one week, I picked up two valuable techniques that I’m excited to incorporate into my game. When compared to other places in the area, I’m not just recommending them—I’m saying, if you want to learn what really works, avoid bad habits, and experience a modern take on BJJ, this is the place to go.

I’ve been training at Watermark for 7-8 months now coming in with virtually zero experience in the sport. Thanks to Travis, I’ve learned the basics in a relatively short amount of time to the point that I was actually able to compete last month and win matches in a tournament. His facility is extremely clean and the mats are well maintained. And everyone that trains there has a good attitude and upper ranks always will take the time to work with lower ranks. He makes the material from each class applicable to every skill level and he will make adjustments on certain techniques based on your size, age, and level of athleticism. Most importantly, I feel safe learning in this environment because I know my instructor(and guest instructors) have literally YEARS and thousands of hours of mat time and that gives me the confidence to know if I can learn to train smartly l too can continue to learn this great self defense system for years to come.

Watermark BJJ is a great choice for anyone! Top level instruction from an elite active world class competitor and black belt. Travis has bettered my daughter game immensely. He’s is not just an excellent Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and professor but he truly cares about each person's development, adult or child. He pays attention to each and every student. Their strengths and weaknesses. Travis will roll with everyone. The team and atmosphere is all good vibes and friendliness. Whether you are a competitor or not, this is absolutely an incredible place to train. The facility is a state of art and very clean and welcoming place. Check it out. Highly recommended!

I train with Cobrinha in LA, but when I'm in Cleveland, I make sure to train with Travis and his team. Their attention to detail, awesome teaching, and the overall vibe are just a few of the things that make this gym great!!

I came into Watermark Jiu Jitsu with zero knowledge of the sport two months ago and Travis was able to make everything very digestible and clear to the point where I got my first tournament win this past weekend. Travis is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet and everyone who trains there is very welcoming. If you are in the Cleveland area, this is the place to go for jiu jitsu and it has a little bit for everyone. There are also class times multiple times a day to fit your busy schedule. Overall, this place is the highlight of the days that I go and I wish I could be there on the days I am not there.
