Summit Jiu-Jitsu Academy

“I'd been thinking about Jiu-Jitsu for several years but never took the step to do it. I'm glad I gave Summit a shot! Stephen and Tara are great! Classes are laid back and fun with a wide variety of experience and backgrounds on the mat. Tara and Stephen take the time to help everyone as needed. The overall culture is great. I look forward to class and sparing/grappling throughout the week and look forward to expanding my knowledge on the sport with this group.”

“Awesome gym to train at. Everyone was super nice and welcoming. The instruction was great and coaches made sure there was plenty of live rolling at the end. Highly recommend checking this place out.”

“I bring my two daughters for the kids class and enjoy the adult class for me. Coaches Stephen and Tara are great! They explain everything, invite questions, and offer great guidance in the classes. My daughters and I really enjoy the space to learn and the challenge of each class. The space is inviting and clean, as well!”

“Great place, friendly, welcoming. Instruction was awesome and really helpful. Technical instructors, perfect place to get started on Brazilian jiu jitsu or pick it back up. Definitely recommend.💪💪 If you don’t have a GI they’ll let you borrow one or they do no-gi as well.”

“The instructors are great. They efficiently teach the classes and allow for adequate practice/sparring time each day without sacrificing technique overview. They do not force excessive warm-ups that turn into work outs that gas you out (They do allow you to workout, with weights, if you wish), and they allow all levels to participate day one. The gym is spacious and always kept clean, and has small conveniences like a water fountain and private changing rooms (which other gyms sometimes lack). And the place is insulated from the Virginia winters without it being stuffy or hot. They love what they do here and all are welcome!”
