What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

PATRICK ENGLISH

"Anyone in the area should look at training at TopGame! Chris is a phenomenal instructor, who always makes himself available to share his expertise even outside of class time. There are also a ton of other experienced practitioners at the gym as well who are always willing to help and share their experience. I’ve been training there for over two years, and it’s improved every aspect of my life. They’re great for kids classes, too! My 10 year old daughter has trained there and loves it! They do a great job being patient with the kids and teaching them fundamentals in jiu jitsu and life. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!"

Marcio Fonseca

"Having trained at Top Game for about seven years, I can confidently say it's an outstanding academy for anyone serious about the art. The expert coaching provides meticulous instruction, ensuring strong fundamentals and continuous growth. Beyond the techniques, Top Game fosters a welcoming and supportive community, making it a truly rewarding place to train and develop. This makes it the best place in Richmond to train Jiu Jitsu/mma by far!"

Patrick Hinkle

"Chris runs an amazing gym at Top Game! I've been training here for ~4 years and it amazes me how much I've learned in that time. I'm happy to say I will be with Chris and Top Game for years to come."

Ed Klein

"I've been training at TG for a couple years. Chris really knows his Jiu Jitsu. He teaches the basic techniques that will keep you safe and competitive for years to come. As you gain more skills, Chris offers more advanced technique for competition and growth. Top Game is like a family. Everyone knows each other and there is always someone willing to help newbies. One other great thing about this academy is the amount of upper belts that are in class always willing to work with students. Chris and the other Black belts are always active on the mat training and teaching. If your looking for a great academy save yourself some time and head over to Top Game BJJ."
