Training at Black Cat has been an amazing experience. The gym has a rare balance between tough training partners who compete at the highest levels of the sport and a friendly, safe atmosphere that welcomes people new to grappling. Instruction from Adam and the rest of the coaching staff is world-class. They stay current with modern techniques and systems while grounding their approach in fundamental grappling concepts. It’s a great place to train and grow.

The amount of time and dedication that the coaches give towards each and every student is amazing. The Coaching is top notch! You will definitely have a fun time, but also an experience that sets the standard for high level coaching and training. The BC community is like family, so much love, respect, and sportsmanship is dedicated towards each teammate. The merchandise, shirts, stickers, hats; so much effort and detail… the quality, chefs kiss - detail, couldn’t get any better. Coach Adam is by far the best coach I ever had. He is super kind, humble, funny, and very supportive. Coach Emma is so kind, loving, caring, and a lovable person! So dedicated and devoted. Coach Frank is a kind, funny, and a caring coach - So helpful and supportive towards his teammates and students🧑‍🦲. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to be apart of the BC community! -Bri 🐈‍⬛😼🔮

I’ve been training here for a few months and it’s just simply the best. I love the coaches and staff, everybody is so nice and welcoming, I’ve never had a bad experience. Coaches Adam and Ryan are such great people and can offer so much in-depth instruction and personalized attention to really help hone in on specific aspects on your training. I’m proud to be a member of the Black Cat gym and community and look forward to continuing my training and Jiu Jitsu journey here!

I've had the opportunity to train here twice. Each time was an experience. I travel a lot and have the opportunity to experience many gyms around the world. Black Cat is one of the best I have experienced. Adam, the owner, is a world class Jiu Jitsu practitioner... every time I looked up from training or rolling, he's somewhere on the ground helping someone with detailed instruction. As a visitor, he treated me as if I were a member of the gym. On top of this, he has put together a school where the vibe is welcoming and dare I say, sophisticated. His instruction is detailed and thorough making anything he is instructing clear and accessible for beginners as well as long time practitioners. The place is clean and well lit and does not give off the typical Jiu Jitsu school vibe... it's something to experience. I brought some friends for my second visit and as we exited the elevator on the 10th floor where the gym is, their jaws dropped. The only thing I can say is that the folks who call this their home gym are lucky to have the beautiful gym filled with character as well as the ability to have such an attentive and experienced instructor. If you are anywhere near Northern Virginia, Black Cat Jiu Jitsu is a destination Jiu Jitsu school.
