Tidewater BJJ Academy Virginia Beach

"Having trained for 12 years at a well known gym before moving down to VB, Tidewater is just as high caliber as I have known previous. Tyler does an amazing job to create a fun, knowledgeable, and safe environment for everyone to train in. He has a deep knowledge of jiujitsu with great attention to detail. Best decision I made was joining this gym!"

"I’ve been popping into classes here for the last few years and I can’t say enough good things about this gym! I’ve been training over 20 years, and it’s hard to find a training environment like this one. Everyone is nice and welcoming, Tyler is an awesome coach and makes learning fun. The Sunday open mat is the best open mat in the area, perfect mix of hard and safe training!"

"Absolutely love this Jiu Jitsu gym. As a woman, I have felt so welcomed and included by the professors and students alike. It’s also incredibly nice to have badass women to train with like those that go here. I feel encouraged, supported, and respected every time I step through the front door by Tyler and his team. They do a great job of teaching at everyone’s level and encouraging everyone to give it their all!"

"As a woman training Jiu-Jitsu, I couldn’t ask for a better gym! The coach is incredibly knowledgeable and creates a safe, respectful environment where everyone, regardless of experience, feels welcome. The team is supportive, and I’ve never felt out of place or intimidated. If you’re a woman looking to train, this is the perfect place to build confidence, skill, and strength!"
