I visited Fairfax Jiu-Jitsu during an open mat after being invited by a close friend who trains there. I had a phenomenal experience. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the level of jiu-jitsu was both high-level and intense. Training partners were clearly pushing their limits while maintaining a safe and respectful environment while taking care of each other. The atmosphere was outstanding. I also had the pleasure of meeting Professor Mark, who was very friendly, highly knowledgeable, and made me feel completely welcome. The academy has a brand-new location with new mats and plenty of training space. Fairfax Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent place to learn, train hard, and challenge yourself.
My husband and I started at Fairfax Jiu Jitsu 9 years ago and I could not recommend it more. Coach Mark has fostered an environment where learning and respect are the top priority. Higher belts are not only studying and evolving their own games but are willing to help lower belts get better and learn as well. There were not many women when I started at FJJ. Since then our group has grown and it is all because of the environment that Coach Mark created. As a woman, it is easy to feel safe and included in any class. The Women’s Only class has given us the space to grow as athletes and friends. I look forward to putting my daughters in the kids class once they are old enough!
Incredibly welcoming academy and instructors and very accommodating to Military members. The moment I walked in and expressed interest, I felt welcomed and part of the community. Not only from the coaches but the members as well. No arrogance or egos to deal with or experienced members trying to “humble” white belts - only the desire to learn and make everyone better. And that mentality and culture begins with the coaches. Extremely grateful for my time there and cannot recommend FJJ enough!
Highly recommend checking out the BJJ classes here! Training at this gym was an incredible experience. Coach Mark and Coach Sam were always supportive, helping me improve my technique and making each class enjoyable with a mix of drills and fun activities. The students here are also super friendly and helpful, especially when you’re just starting out. When my schedule got hectic and I had to pause my membership, they were super understanding and flexible. The new website is also a great upgrade. It’s clean, user-friendly, and makes it easy to find everything you need. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills, this is a great place to train.
Fairfax Jiu-jitsu is amazing. Without a doubt, one of the best places to train Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai and Capoeira in Northern Virginia. The instructors are incredible. Very few instructors have the experience that Mark Jones and Sam Kim have earned. Both of them are BJJ Black belt Masters World Champions. Muay Thai coach, Matt Nielsen, is easily one of the most technical and most highly-trained Muay Thai coaches in the U.S. who's frequent trips to Thailand ensure that he's learning the latest techniques to this combat sport. The facility is incredible with all the amenities that a student can ask for including locker room, showers, strength and conditioning area, cardio fitness area, lounge etc.
