What Our Students Say

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

Mario Jones

"I’ve been in Leesburg for the past week visiting some family. With my first jiu jitsu competition being this weekend, I wanted to stay on that mats and keep training. Fortunately for me, my search was over quick once I came across War & Peace MMA. Training with Coach Mark and everyone for the past week has been fantastic. I was treated like one of their very own and Coach Mark always took the time to give me extra pointers to prepare me for competition. I recommend War & Peace to anyone looking to start any type of combat sports in the area. You won’t be disappointed!!"

Erik Eisenstaedt

"Started taking my kids here 1 month ago, and I have already seen increased discipline, confidence, and respect while decreasing attitude and laziness. The coaches here are professionals and take this art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu very seriously. They have an excellent way of making it fun and educational for kids of different ages. The sense of accomplishment from the kids' learning will have everlasting benefits for their confidence and independence. I highly suggest parents have their children attend all days available to maintain progress in the program. This is definitely a sure investment into your child's future development."

Kevin Chronister

"Exciting! Great Workout! Organized! Disciplined! Everything you could want in a martial arts training class! The instructor, coach Mark Peace is very knowledgeable and is willing to take the time with each and every student to make sure that they continue to advance. The coach is not going to waste your time and if you can make all four classes in one week you are getting a fantastic price for a great Jiu-Jitsu class. I have 3 students in two different classes at War & Peace and all of them enjoy the strict teachings of coach Peace. They offer classes Mon.-Thur. each starting at a different time depending on age. My students have been going to the classes for about two months now and we will be continuing our membership for the foreseeable future. Don't waste any more time and get in and sign up! They do offer a free class just to get you hooked."

Tim's Tutors

"I dropped in for a few days while visiting my parents. The instructor is great and gives plenty of time for live rolls. Everyone is very welcoming and most importantly they actually know how to fight. I will definitely be up here anytime I'm in the area."
