Excellent school to train at. Very welcoming and warm yet still professional atmosphere. You can definitely tell that Josh really has a passion for bjj. And the highly detailed instructionals you’ll receive reflects that passion. In this sport you’ll find a bunch of donut hole school owners, but not here and not Josh. This is top tier, high level Jiu Jitsu for everyone. Stop by you won’t be disappointed!!

My son partipates in the young warriors program with Sam. She is both knowledgeable and passionate about what does and it rubs off on the kids. Since joining in May his confidence has grown both on and off the mat. Jujutsi has been the missing link for him and we are proud to call BJJ our gym.

This is 100% the best place to learn Jiu Jitsu. From the people who train here to the instruction you receive, you will feel welcomed, encouraged, and supported. Whatever your reason is for starting, you will want to stay simply because of the kind of community you'll find.

Blue Ridge Jiu Jitsu is where martial arts and family come together. I feel like I have such a supportive community. Wouldn’t change it for the world! Love you Sam and Josh!

I dropped in while on vacation, which is something I try to do whenever I travel. Being a stranger to the area, it was easy to pass up because it’s a little off the road, but no problem really. The facilities/mats were very clean, which is important when visiting a gym you don’t know. The instruction from Coach Josh was excellent and very detailed. It stood out to me that he took the time to give individual feedback/coaching to every student while drilling the lesson of the day. The training partners were great and I was able to get a wide range of rolling partners in one class. Everyone there rolled hard but graciously and respectfully during training, making it “feel like home.” Very comfortable training environment for a guest. I’ll be back, but not soon enough. Thanks for having me Blue Ridge!

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Blue Ridge Jiu Jitsu. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Blue Ridge Jiu Jitsu welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Blue Ridge Jiu Jitsu train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Blue Ridge Jiu Jitsu. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
