Randilee Giamusso
"The Forge is awesome for all different ages and skill sets. It’s a true family environment with amazing instructors who take pride in their gym and put a lot of emphasis on building a positive community. We highly recommend this business."
Jacob Nichols
"I’ve traveled and trained all over the world. Bounced around multiple gyms in the DMV. None has made me feel so at home as The Forge. The community is phenomenal, from experienced to beginner. I’ve never felt more welcomed. All programs- kids to adults have the best instruction I’ve ever been privy to. The rolls are hard, controlled and beautiful to be apart of. I’m so thankful to be a part of the community, I will be there whenever I can. When I’m not, I’m encouraged to train when/where I can and bring things back. I’m always excited to come back and train at home. The Forge."
Joseph Sal
"Best BJJ gym I’ve ever been to. Feels like family and the friendships are deep. From the coaches to staff, everyone is super awesome. Never seen bonding outside the gym like this gym. Great technical instruction. My daughter came in shy and has walked out confident and out of her shell. Overall, I can’t praise the Forge enough. Thank God they came to Warrenton."
David Koo
"I'm very excited to be a part of the start of this new school! With classes for all ages, experience levels, and times, the school provides excellent training for everyone. There are a wide variety of people who train at the school. From the beginners who've just started their jiujitsu journey, to the seasoned trainers who are excited to help you along the way. It's a very friendly and accommodating environment for those wanting to try jiujitsu out!"
