What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Wil Ravelo
"Great school and great instruction. Professor Samuel is extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. I was traveling and dropped in for a class, the class was really good and the students were awesome. If I lived in the area, I would train there regularly. Definitely check out the school if you’re in the Fairfax area. Highly recommend."
Gina Baxter
"My 7 and 8 year old son and daughter and I have been attending this jiujitsu gym for over a year. I couldn't be any happier or satisfied. Professor Charles possesses the rare skills required to work with children and adults. He gives the best advice to the kids - and says it in a way they understand and can absorb it. He is a wonderful role model. He is calm, down to earth, and caring, and his attention to detail has really improved my technique. He gives "what if" scenarios so you know what reactions to expect and how to respond. His wife is also a skilled brown belt!"
Chris J
"Mr Charles provides exceptional instruction and runs a smooth class. Outstanding 1-on-1 time you will find difficult to get anywhere else. Close knit group that is very welcoming to people of all ages and skill sets. Come and check it out!"
