Dreadnought Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

“Their professional instruction, knowledge of the game, and community-based mindset made this sport something I looked forward to every day. This gym got me to fall in love with BJJ. I'm proud to have had the privilege of learning here. Special shoutout to Professor Virgil for his dedication and love of the sport and for the people around him.”

“Phenomenal training, amazing teaching. Professor knows his stuff, as do the other coaches. My jiu-jitsu has become so much better since I started here a year and a half ago! Training partners push each other to the next level, while also taking care of each other. The family vibe is incredible. Ms. Maggie and everyone else are so welcoming to me and my children, making it possible for me to train more! Dreadnought will always be family to me!”

“Dreadnought Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is in it to win it! Sure we all like to win but when I say in it to win it I’m talking about your drive, your focus, hands on training, powerful messages and FAMILY! I can’t say enough GREAT things about the Academy, the Professor, his beautiful wife Ms Maggie and the amazing group of coaches that all focus on you and/or your child’s success. They are so focused on helping the youth in our community overcome diversity, bullying, shyness, and many other issues such as anxiety, confidence, leadership, teamwork, laughter and love. They cheer you on and help guide you both on and off the mats. Simply put I find them to be amazing and I think you and your children will feel right at home at Dreadnought.”

“I trained here for 9 months and I was so sad to have to move away. They truly have something for everyone from families looking to do some bonding together to individuals wanting to compete on a monthly basis. All the coaches have something unique to offer which is what imo makes this place so great and separates it from the rest. I also love that there was never any pressure to compete BUT if you wanted to compete they would make sure you were ready for your competition. Also you will immediately be treated like family, from day one I felt very welcome.”

“An amazing experience at Dreadnought The coaches are fantastic with my neurodiverse kids, showing incredible patience and understanding. They strike the perfect balance of tough love and encouragement, creating a supportive and positive environment. If you’re looking for great coaching and a place where your kids can learn valuable skills, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!”
