Six Blades Jiu Jitsu NOVA

“I dropped in while out of town for work and man - what a great community. Knowledgeable instructors that teach principle based technique. Everyone was very welcoming despite being absolute killers on the mats. I look forward to training again when I’m in the area and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to train.”

“Recommend by family friends 5 years ago, and it's become our home away from home. Emil and Pete are passionate about continually leading the legacy of Ribeiro JJ on the mats with discipline and heart. It started off with just loving the kids program to now the whole family rolls together. We will continue our journey until duty service calls us elsewhere. We are grateful for all the lessons we learn on the tatami as it rolls into daily discipline as well. Thank you Emil and Pete -OSS”

“We move quite frequently, and a big concern for our family is finding a good Jiu-jitsu gym - one that shares our work ethics. Arriving in the DC area, we checked out a variety of gyms until we found Six Blades - we couldn't have asked for a better fit for our family. Determination, perseverance, accountability, and drive are just a few of the traits being taught and modeled. The coaches push the kids to reach their potential, so if families are looking for coddling cookie-cutter Jiu-jitsu, this may not be the gym for them. We have seen tremendous growth in our boys (on and off the mats) and we believe that Six Blades is helping in this formative period. We train multiple days each week and the coaches have catered to their individual needs. On the mats, all are treated with respect and are welcomed to their family. 5 Stars from our family!”

“I highly recommend Six Blades NOVA to anyone looking for a top-notch training facility with a supportive and motivating environment. It's a community that pushes you to be your best both on and off the mats. Six Blades NOVA is an outstanding place for both kids and adults to train and grow in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The instructors here are incredibly knowledgeable and humble, always pushing you to your limits and challenging you to be your best. They hold the kids accountable and continue to motivate them, which has made a significant difference in my children's progress. As an active duty military member, I deeply appreciate the camaraderie and family-like atmosphere at Six Blades NOVA. From day one, we were welcomed with open arms and treated with respect. After a year of training, our kids have made great strides and improvements in their techniques and grappling skills. The progress they've made is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the instructors.”

“Me and a few co-workers I train with dropped in the 6 am class while on a work trip. It was a great experience and we meshed very well with the instructor and other students. We were welcomed and had a great class of both instruction and rolling time. I will definitely stop by again when I am back in the DC area. I also appreciated the quick communication online when I had questions about the school. I would be happy to train here full time if I lived in the local area.”
