From the reviews

One of the best Jiu Jitsu schools in Loudoun County! My son has been in the advanced children’s class twice a week as well as in the daily children’s class for a year and a half now and loves every minute.

★★★★★ — John, Nov 2022

My four children have been training with Justin and Kristi for almost two years. Aside from my children loving jiujitsu, I have been extremely overwhelmed with the quality. The quality of communication is wonderful.

★★★★★ — Susan, May 2021

We have moved to several places and have had many BJJ coaches over the years. While all have been great, Justin and Kristi are exceptional. Dedication, passion, and commitment are just a few words that come to mind when I think of the JLBJJ program.

★★★★★ — Sunny, May 2021

I would recommend JLBJJ to both children and adults. There is a wonderful class atmosphere and the instruction is first class.

★★★★★ — Mark, Apr 2025

Your first BJJ class at Justin Lough Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

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.
