What are the best BJJ/MMA schools in Northern Virginia? What is good about them?

I’m in the Northern Virginia area…Centreville to be exact. I’m looking for a good school to learn BJJ and MMA. I’m trying to get a school with experianced instructors and a good environment. The school should be close to centreville/chantilly/fairfax…i would like any of your thoughts on this! please tell me what is good about the school and why i should go there

Lots of very good ones.

I’ve heard that One Spirit is very good. My son’s competed in tournaments against some of their students. (Grappling and BJJ). Link: http://www.onespiritmartialarts.com/

Yesterday my son was at a wrestling tournament and we were speaking to another parent there who highly recommended LA Boxing in Chantilly, especially for muy thai. Link: http://www.laboxing.com/chantilly/default.asp

My son studies at two (well, now, actually 3 schools). He started off at Carl Runk’s World Karate in Fairfax. The instructor there (Mr. Jason…Jason Savage) is very good. They teach a form of grappling–no gi. With the instruction from Carl Runk’s, my son was able to go on to win a number of tournaments, such as Copa Nova. They don’t have a huge number of students in the BJJ classes, but you get good instruction. They recently hired another instructor who knows a variety of striking skills. They’re in Twinbrook Shopping Center on Braddock Road. Highly recommended. Link: http://carlrunk.com/

For the past 9 months, my son’s also been studying at Fairfax Black Belt Academy. The instructor there, Joe Cunningham, is a brown belt in BJJ and studies at Yamasaki Academy (run by Mario Yamasaki). Joe is a great teacher, emphasizes technique, and is excellent in both gi and no gi. Not too many students, but when they compete (Diamond State Games, NAGA, etc.), they typically do very well. Again, highly recommended. They’re across from George Mason in University View Shopping Center. Link: http://www.bbafairfax.com/

There’s also a Lloyd Irvin location in Arlington. It’s Leo Dalla. It’s supposed to be excellent, though a little bit farther away from you. Link: http://www.leodalla.com/

So, that ought to start you off. Go to each one. Do their trial lessons–most (if not all) offer some trial lessons so you can get the feel for the school, the instructors, and the levels of the other students.

Hope that helps.
