What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Kelly Chan

"I dropped into Ascended Jiu Jitsu to get in some training while I was visiting for the weekend and I was thoroughly impressed. The facility is super clean, safe, and just brings good vibes overall. The instructor, Sandy, was very clear with his instruction and provided feedback throughout the class. Everyone was nice and gave good hard respectful rolls. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area."

Amy Hernandez

"The coaches, facilities and training are top notch! Our 5 year old is growing confidence, learning about the importance of respect and teamwork, all while exercising his body and mind. We adore the whole family and feel so lucky to have found them!"

Corey Creason

"Beautiful space, very clean, good vibes. I grew up in Woodstock ands live in DC now, so I was pleasantly surprised to find such a wonderful gym to drop into for my BJJ fix. Everyone on the mats was gracious and welcoming; I would readily recommend this gym to anyone with an interest in BJJ. Bonus Points: They also have a very cute little yoga studio in the back as well that my wife really enjoyed!"

Maya Kardas

"I live in the area, and to be close to such an incredible place is semi-life-changing. I was very apprehensive to start jiu-jitsu because I had just started a fitness journey of my own, and I felt very green— and honestly, not very strong. However, the people at Ascension Academy are SO welcoming, attentive, and genuinely care about what they do. It is obvious that the owner, instructors, and professors want to guide you in falling in love with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—and your relationship with self, through it. Professor James is one of the reasons I decided to walk onto the mat. I had a private lesson with him before I joined any classes. Professor James taught me some fundamentals, a few important warmups and drills, and talked with me about jiu-jitsu. He answered all of my questions, and more importantly— MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE!!! I have come to adore the academy, and all of the individuals that work and frequent there. The yoga program they have there is exceptional! The business is shared between a mother and son. Juliana runs the yoga program, and her son, Pedro is in charge of the jiu-jitsu. They come together in a beautiful space and uplift the mind-body connection in such a supportive, informed, and family-oriented atmosphere."
