Our Academy ~ Cville BJJ & MT
Charlottesville BJJ & MT offers a friendly and relaxed environment in which to train Martial Arts. The effective training and class atmosphere is why most people sign-up as well as continue to train at our school. The camaraderie has grown into a big family, all helping one another to make progress in martial arts as well as in life.
We have trained and continue to train many local law enforcement and military personnel who wish to enhance their skills in hand-to-hand combat. We have also hosted many woman’s self-defense seminars, raising awareness and empowering women to protect themselves in the Charlottesville area.
We have classes Monday through Saturday for everyone. Click here for weekly schedule.
