From the reviews
We have been sending our daughter to this academy for 6 years already. We love this academy. Mr. Baker not only teaches the children Taekwondo and Jiu jitsu, he also teaches them life principles. Mr. Baker and his team are very professional, fair, and brings out the best in each child.
Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy: A Beacon of Excellence in Martial Arts and Character Building Having been a part of the Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy for over three years, I can wholeheartedly attest to the transformative impact this institution has had on my son's life.
Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy Review My son has been attending Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy for less than a year, and it has been an incredible experience for him. Being smaller than his peers, team sports have always been a challenge, but martial arts has given him a place where he can thrive.
Mr. Baker and the entire TaeKwonDo instructor staff are nothing short of exceptional in every facet of this academy. Their ability to connect with the students, even at the earliest ages, is truly impressive. Beyond the valuable physical training they receive, Mr.
Your first BJJ class at Virginia TaeKwonDo & Jiu-Jitsu Academy
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.
