Committed to helping you move better than you did yesterday.
About: About
Just Move Academy was started by three friends in northern Ohio almost 2 decades ago. Jake Reckner, Matthew Miller, and Justin Eltringham had an idea to create a place where all forms of movement were welcome, initially named JMA for Justin/Jake Martial Arts (or "Justin Matt And" if you ask Matt). At the age of 18, the three friends parted ways in service of their country. Matthew joined the United States Marine Corp. Jake joined the United States Army. And Justin joined the United States Air Force.

Although they were physically separated, they each continued to work on building their dream. Jake became a martial arts instructor teaching boxing, jiu jitsu and mixed martial arts. Matt became a personal trainer who would eventually dive headfirst into the world of Cyr. Justin became a Parkour instructor and began competing in Parkour and OCR competitions.

In 2010, Justin managed to turn a backyard parkour class into a full fledge parkour facility through a local partnership. And thus, Just Move Academy was born.

While Matt and Jake were becoming top professionals in their career fields, Justin was traveling the world and bringing Just Move Academy to as many people as he could reach. From Texas to Japan, Guam, Hawaii, Louisiana and currently North Carolina. Movement and Parkour programs were set up everywhere and the JMA family grew.
