Gracie Combat Jiu-Jitsu Academy

"This academy has everything I was looking for in a gym. 1. Instruction - Beginning with great instruction, Dave, Matt, and Adam teach basic and advanced techniques and break them down so their easier to understand. There's also optional cardio and drills to help you improve more quickly! 2. Mat time - After instruction, it's time to roll. Class doesn't have to end until everyone wants to leave (sometime after 10 or 11!) We can practice the techniques of the day or have open rolling. It's nice to have access to the instructors to show where you have gaps in your technique. 3. Range of sizes - There are plenty of people in a variety of shapes and sizes to maximize different scenarios. 4. Great people - The gym members are consistent and everyone wants everyone else to improve. It's a great way to spend time getting fit!"

"This is one of the best Relson Gracie academy in Loudoun County. I have know the instructor since 2006 and he is a dedicated Relson Gracie Black Belt. Very knowledgeable and patient with his students. The gym is a friendly atmosphere for people of walks of life."

"Friday night open mat was fun! I was passing through for work. Decided to stay near the airport the night before an early morning flight. I called to ask if I could drop into the 3hrs evening open mat. The Prof answered the call & welcomed me to join his students. Both Gi & NoGi were welcome, and there's no Gi color requirement. Those were my only concerns. I was able to roll for most of the 3hrs until people started resting. Only about 7 people showed up, but as a Purple Belt, I was glad to roll with their Brown Belt a few times, both Gi & NoGi, as well as a few tough Blue & White Belts. Everyone was friendly and considerate rolling partners. I definitely recommend that you drop in if you can."
