Takedown Nation

“Just stopped at Take Down Nation to see my grandchildren. I was beyond impressed with Eric and his ability to work with the kids! What a great program he offers and watching my Grands work hard and smile at the same time was great! Thank you Eric”

“I started attending Takedown Nation about 5 or 6 months ago with no martial arts/combat sports training at all. Its been such a fun and rewarding experience. Coach Eric stresses partner safety and technique, and always takes time to explain things. There is no pressure. There are no egos. And everyone is really friendly, accepting, and supportive of each other. My daughter also attends the kids class. She is 13 years old and has special needs, and Coach Eric has been great with her since day 1. She loves it here. She feels accepted and is always excited to come hang out with coach and all of her friends and learn BJJ. If you are interested in BJJ this is the place to be for sure.”

“Excellent BJJ school! A true gem in King George. I have trained at many other schools in Virginia and around the country over the last decade. Coach Eric is as legit as any instructor I have trained under, hence the gem in King George. He is a first degree black belt under Chris Haueter (one of the dirty dozen) and he is a former Division 1 college wrestler: hence the motivation of the Takedown Nation name. Great instructor overall and I have learned a ton of stand up from him. Great vibe at school with friendly training partners who want to learn.”

“I was in the area for work and was looking to get in a session- Eric welcomed me in to his gym. He is a great instructor who cares about his students and is very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this gym!”

“I’ve had the pleasure to learn from Eric at a number of camps around the US. He is a phenomenal person and instructor. He is very very good at removing a human individual from the standing position and teaching you to do the same.”
