Fifty/50 Martial Arts Academy

“Great instructors and fellow students. This would be my third year with 50/50 and I love it here. The owner is cool and actually is at the gym and talks to people. I was having trouble with a simple move when the owner saw me fumble badly so he came over and taught me and he made me put him in a triangle. Another time, we talked about his time at the UFC. This gym has some monsters and you will learn a lot from rolling with these tough SOBs. Everyone is respectful when rolling in jiu jitsu class. They have a badass wrestling coach in David Torado. Real nice coach and really good teacher. I'm really picky about a lot of things but have nothing but good things to say about the gym.”

“Fifty/50 is a fantastic gym. The instructors here care to make sure you get the technique right, and they give lots of personal attention and put lots of energy into each class. Coach Jen, Nicki, David, and Devin are great and break down the important details to every move. The environment is well suited for beginners, every staff member is friendly, and I don't know how they keep everything so clean. They must have great janitors too.”

“Great academy. Great technical instruction. Great vibe of everyone! I dropped in for the Monday Mid day with Coach David. He was detailed and very meticulous with his throw by instruction as well as some work from DLR. Highly recommended if you’re in the area. Facility has showers as well as plenty of space for parking.”

“Best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the Washington, D.C. metro area. Friendly teachers, great for kids and new learners of all ages. Very supportive instructors. Not expensive.”

“This Gym is a really great place to train BJJ (the people attending Kickbox classes look happy too!). The Coaches, People, and the facility are top-notch and I felt immediately welcome and cared for. I highly recommend them to everyone!”
