What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
David Nadolski
"I have been training at Charlottesville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 3 years now, and it has been an amazing experience. Gordon has developed an incredible school with a highly focused and detailed curriculum. The atmosphere is very welcoming, low-pressure, and extremely inclusive. Cville BJJ has students of all ages, shapes, sizes, cultural backgrounds, and various walks of life. The instructors, staff, and participants, are all keenly aware that each individual has their own set of goals and expectations for their training; all are encouraged, supported, and welcomed. They offer a free trial class - no commitment - you won't be disappointed!"
Miguel Ferrer
"Trained BJJ and Muay Thai here for a few months. Instructors are great, very welcoming people and atmosphere is amazing. Could not recommend Cville BJJ more!!!"
David Clopton
"I'm a black belt and I've trained all over the country, at many of the top academies in the world. C-Ville BJJ is the gym I always tell people was my favorite, and Gordon the best instructor I ever had. I've also known Corey since he was a white belt -- he's a great guy. Great gym. Great atmosphere - for all levels. You won't find a better academy."
David Gregory
"Can’t say enough about how great this school is. The head instructor / owner Gordon is great! By far the best BJJ instructor in the area and really takes time to help you develop great technique. Atmosphere has always been very welcoming and the community is very solid. I would recommend to anyone in the area who wants to pursue BJJ, to come here and give it a go. They have classes and a schedule to fit anyone’s needs and skill level. Couldn’t recommend more if training BJJ is your thing or if you’re considering giving it a go. Whether you’re local or visiting, stop in and have some great training and fun."
