Me and my husband visited this academy from VA. We felt very welcomed by both students and Professor Yamasaki. The instruction was top notch. Professor spent one-on-one time with us while drilling the technique. I had a shoulder injury. He was caring and made sure that students were aware of it while rolling with me. I highly recommend this place whether you are visiting or looking for an academy to join.

I have trained at a few schools. This is by far the best. High level instructors and great people. My 6 year old daughter just started. She loves Yamasaki. She loves the instructors and team mates. I drive 45 min to get here. Its worth every second of the drive PLUS I get to spend more time with my daughter.

Great gym with a very welcoming culture. Fernando is a top instructor in the area and one of maybe 200 or less BJJ coral belts on the planet. Training with him and the other talented students at Yamasaki Academy has helped my jiu jitsu immeasurably. It's also a great location - next to the Twinbrook metro stop with plenty of free parking.

I loved training here. The community atmosphere is amazing. People are very nice and supportive. Coming from no background in BJJ, I felt welcomed and encouraged. Fernando and his instructors are world class. I highly recommend.
