From the reviews

I have been doing Jiu Jitsu with this location for 3 months. The environment is very kind and people always welcome new white belts. The instructors are nice, patient, helpful, and I feel like I have learned a lot from them in only 3 months. It is such a nice place, saying anything bad would be out of the question.

★★★★★ — Quinton, Nov 2021

Great place. My daughter has been going there for months and encouraged her classmates to join. Coaches are attentive and skilled. They gave us a month of trial, didn’t pressure us at all into signing up (rare these days).

★★★★★ — Fadi, May 2025

I have been attending classes here ever since they started the Jiu Jitsu program. The instructors are great! They really want to help, make sure their students understand the moves, and are doing them correctly. Everyone you will meet here is truly down to earth.

★★★★★ — Beth, Apr 2020

The coaches here are superb and are advocates of a family friendly training atmosphere where everyone is welcome. Jason has a great ability to teach and mentor kids, Court is a BJJ enthusiast and really understands how to teach to concepts, and Jeremy is a BJJ black belt directly under legendary Royce Gracie!

Your first BJJ class at Capital MMA & Elite Fitness | Burke, VA

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
