About Nova Jiu Jitsu
At Nova Jiu Jitsu, we started as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy and have grown into a comprehensive community hub for families and athletes in Ronceverte and the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia. We believe martial arts are about problem-solving under pressure — they build resilience, develop confidence, and strengthen both body and mind.
Our programs span youth and adult BJJ, boxing and striking, circuit training, and after-school enrichment through our Nova Clubhouse, giving families everything they need under one roof. We've built Nova to be a place where the community comes together, not just to train but to grow.
Whether you're stepping on the mat for the first time or a seasoned practitioner, Nova offers structured instruction from experienced coaches in a clean, welcoming facility in the heart of West Virginia's mountains.

Nova has been one of the best things to happen to both of my young homeschool kids. Adam’s coaching style is thorough, fun, engaging and patient. Their gym is clean, safe, and very comfortable. The food at Coco’s is wonderful and the cafe makes it easy to watch class, grab a smoothie, and do my work while the kids have a wonderful time training. They have an awesome homeschool class that is a wonderful addition to our curriculum. I can’t say enough good things about NOVA.
The Coach here is wonderful and willing to work with the children of all ages. The classes train the children and adults in self defense and other techniques. They also had time for fun and a time for class which really gives the kid something to look forward to. The food from coco’s is also absolutely amazing.
My kids have been going to Nova Jiu Jitsu for about two months and they absolutely love it. They look forward to every class which. It's improved their physical abilities and they are more helpful at home. This work is teaching them a social responsibility that I hadn't anticipated and I'm very thankful for all of it!
NOVA is more than a Jiu Jitsu Academy, it's a family. All the coaches are supportive, caring, and professional in all interactions with students and family members. They truly care about their members and want to see them excel in all areas of life. NOVA provides multiple opportunities for all members of the family to exercise and increase physical strength and endurance. They are an outstanding addition to the community!
Nova is great for the whole family. What started as taking our 3 year old to try kids jiu jitsu turned into both myself and the little one doing it! He loves the kids classes and the adult fundamentals class is great too. The coaches are friendly and welcoming and everyone who trains here have been very helpful. Definitely the place to go whether you may be interested in BJJ, boxing, or the occasional other classes offered. Highly recommend! Adam and Abby have done a great job.
