Hipolito Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense

“I have two sons who train at this school, and they love it. One is 4 years old, and the other is 16, and both are very happy with their professors and training partners. I highly recommend this school if you want to see your child progress both on and off the mat. Oscar is a jiu-jitsu competitor and has become a champion in the sport.”

“In Northern Virginia if you want to learn good brazilian jiujitsu, here is the place. Prof. Heloisa and her family has proven record of their good bjj, look at medal wall they hv. Great family environment, my boy asks daily, can we go to bjj today? Very friendly ambient. I had bad experience in past with another bjj that the owner would yell at someone everyday, parents, kids........ this place isn't like that. Good hard bjj training, friendly staff, kids love it. You should check it out.”

“Absolutely fantastic jiu-jitsu gym! The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about the art. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced practitioner, there’s something for everyone here. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the community is incredibly supportive—everyone pushes each other to improve while maintaining a friendly and respectful environment.”

“Top notch professors! Very technical technique instruction. Excellent ratio of professors / coaches to students on the mat to ensure all are safe and learning”

“it’s hands down one of the best academies I’ve been to. The facility is spacious, well-maintained, and includes clean bathrooms, changing rooms, and even a kids’ playroom, making it a great environment for families. One of the standout aspects of this school is the high-level instruction. With three black belts on the mats, there’s always expert guidance, and the professors are incredible—not only in their technical knowledge but also in their ability to help students improve quickly. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you’ll find their teaching approach both challenging and supportive. The atmosphere here is welcoming, and the training partners are respectful and dedicated. If you’re looking for a top-tier BJJ school that prioritizes growth, cleanliness, and community, I highly recommend checking out this school.”
