Category Five Jiu-Jitsu

I came in from out of town while on a work trip and these guys were great! I didn’t have a gi, but they were happy to loan one for the class. Roman was very helpful in making sure we understood the technique! I’ll definitely be coming in again next time I’m in the area!

I couldn’t be happier that we found Category 5! We recently moved to the area and were searching for a place where my daughter could continue learning BJJ. Before the move, she had trained for about four months at another academy, and the difference here is night and day. From her very first three classes, the level of attention and instruction she received blew me away. Multiple instructors take turns demonstrating and teaching, making sure every student is supported and engaged. The energy, professionalism, and care they put into every class are just amazing. My daughter had started losing interest in BJJ, but since joining Category 5, her excitement is back—and stronger than ever! She now looks forward to every class. Huge thanks to Wes and his team for running such a well-oiled machine. If you’re looking for a place where kids not only learn BJJ but also gain confidence and passion, Category 5 is it!

So happy we found category five jujitsu, we travel to WV several times a year to visit family and we needed a place for our kids to practice while we were out of town. The gym is SUPER clean, the staff are great, very welcoming and great with the kids. My kids had a blast! We can’t wait to come back at our next visit!

I'd been looking into a gym to put my 5 and 6 year old daughters in for a while. We finally landed on Category 5 and I could not be happier. The instructors are incredibly patient, attentive, and passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely love the sport and enjoy teaching it to all ages. They take their time with each student, build confidence, and make learning fun while still keeping structure and discipline. They've created a very low-stress environment to optimize learning.
