Vanguard Gym

Tons of mat space + lots of classes available = small class sizes and personal attention. The later classes are great for busy work days working past 6PM.30-day trial is much longer than other gyms.They have an organized method of teaching jiu jitsu consistent across instructors that builds on itself over weeks/months, not just a random move of the day. Felt very welcome as a beginner. Strong focus on safety and injury prevention, big selling point for the 30+ crowd.Pricing is a great value - BJJ is not cheap, esp. in DMV but Vanguard is very reasonable.

I’ve been to several BJJ gyms and Vanguard is the mostly friendly place I have ever trained. If you are hesitant about checking it out, don’t be. I had an 11 year break in training and was uneasy about getting started again. The coaches and team mates were super supportive right from the beginning and Jiu Jitsu has become a lifestyle again. Vanguard is a great place to train and learn and everyone is super respectful. Highly recommended.

I’ve been doing BJJ at vanguard gym for about 2 years now and I just started CrossFit as well. I can’t tell you how outstanding this place is, the coaches are so inspirational and motivating and the atmosphere is amazing. My first and current job is at the gym because I wanted to be more involved. Overall if you want a place to train Martial arts or crossFit this is the place.
