"Adam Benayoun has created a masterful training environment for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the DMV. His instruction is focused not only on the details of every technique to ensure proper form and safety, but he is diligent in explaining the "why" behind positions and movement. This combination provides the students with a complete understanding rather than a "watch and copy" teaching method as other academics usually provide. Adam is fully engaged with each student and gives individualized feedback regardless of the size of the class. Whether you are looking for competition, fitness, self defense, or just a fun hobby where you can be a part of a safe, tight-knit community you have found the right place."

"The best jiujitsu experience in Virginia by far. Been to a lot of different gyms. The atmosphere is electric. Beautiful gym. It’s almost artistic how cool it is. Adam, the coach, is the best coach in the area. No one teaches the way he teaches and I really mean that. He has elevated my game faster and more efficiently in three years than anyone had in the previous five. I feel so blessed to have found Adam. He genuinely cares about his students and offers very specific game plans on what to improve and how to do it. His systematic approach to Bjj is just next level. I can’t say enough good things about the guy. I genuinely don’t know where I’d be without him and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration at all. If you’re looking into Bjj as a beginner or even if you have experience already, you cannot do better than training with Adam. I have never had a coach so invested in my improvement. I love this gym and I love this coach. Do yourself a favor and start attending classes there. I guarantee it will be impossible to go anywhere else"

Adam Benayoun is an accomplished instructor and competitor, his unique blend of humor and genuine care for his students is what truly sets Black Cat apart from other gyms. Adam's ability to impart his expertise in an engaging and accessible manner is a testament to his dedication as an instructor. One of the aspects that make Black Cat Jiu Jitsu truly outstanding is the vibe and community that has been cultivated here. From day one, I felt welcomed by this extraordinary group of individuals. It's precisely the kind of environment I've always yearned for in my Jiu Jitsu journey. The instruction and culture of the gym are geared towards fostering growth and development of effective Jiu Jitsu skills. What I truly appreciate is the emphasis on conceptual-based learning. Adam goes beyond simply teaching techniques; he delves into the underlying principles and strategies, providing a foundation for practical application. This approach has been instrumental in accelerating the progress of myself and others. If you're searching for world-class Jiu Jitsu gym, look no further than Black Cat Jiu Jitsu."

"I’ve been training at black cat for almost a year and there is not enough good that I can say about it. Adam is an excellent coach whether you’re a competitor, a hobbyist, or anyone in between. He genuinely cares about how everyone is progressing and that the product he offers is second to none. The gym itself is immaculate, well laid out, and has a cool vibe. The training partners are the toughest around but also care that everyone is getting what they need. If I could give 10 stars I would. If you’re on the fence about where to train in nova look.
