Dropped in at Mattix BJJ after being recommended by our local VA BJJ academy while we were visiting, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was welcoming, the training was solid, and the team made us feel right at home from the start. Great instruction, great rolls, and an overall positive vibe. If and when we’re back in the area, we would absolutely drop in again. Highly recommend!

Incredible experience at this BJJ academy! From day one, I felt welcomed by the team of dedicated and passionate instructors. The facilities are impeccable, and the atmosphere is friendly and encouraging. Training with the team is quite a challenge, given the excellent level they have. I would highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to challenge themselves and learn BJJ in a positive and professional environment!"

My sons have been training at Mattix Academy for the past year, and I’m truly blown away. The level of training and knowledge they’ve gained is nothing short of incredible. Not only are they developing strong skills in jiu-jitsu, but they’re also growing in discipline and confidence. Coach Ricky and his team are top-tier professionals who genuinely care about the kids. As a parent, enrolling them at Matrix Academy has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Thank you, Coach Ricky, for your dedication and all the hard work you put in—it truly makes a difference.

The best place to learn Jiu Jitsu. Ricky is a amazing teacher, the students are very friendly, excellent environment with classes suited for beginners as well for high level competitive practitioners. This is like a second home to me. I enjoy every second of my time while been there. If you about to start your Jiu Jitsu journey it’s the best place. I highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Mattix Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy. 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! Mattix Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 Mattix Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 Mattix Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
