"This gym is family to me. The owner Joe Cunningham creates that kind of atmosphere. Myself, my wife, and our children all train here. You will not find a better kids BJJ, Judo, and Muay Thia program in Northern Virginia. All of the coaches under Coach Joe are very knowledgeable in their craft."
"Dropped in while my son was on spring break at his grandparents. Professor Joe welcomed us with open arms. Overall good guy. My son enjoyed his class and told me how much he enjoyed his time! The gym is clean, spacious, and an overall good vibe. Highly recommend it."
"Yamasaki’s been life changing for me. I mainly attend for exercise 2-3 times a week. Coach Joe is a good man."
"I highly recommend starting off with trying every class. This being my first first experience with martial arts, has to be the most exciting and challenging adventure thanks to the Yamasaki staff. I was able to learn and condition at a high level from day one. The couching staff worked to provide a safe and clean environment for training. Which ultimately resulted in major physical improvements. I am in the best shape of my adult life right now thanks to yamasaki. Please note: first week will hurt!"
