Nexus American Jiu Jitsu

"Nexus was very welcoming and everyone in the gym from instructors to students were phenomenal. The techniques that were greatly demonstrated for all levels would be able to understand. The atmosphere was not only professional but fun as well. Very thankful for the opportunity to come train here!"

"This is the place to train!! Such an awesome environment with amazing coaches! Gannon is awesome and super welcoming! If you are thinking about getting into jiu jitsu this the place to be!"

"This will be the third gym I have trained at and it definitely is my top favorite. The instructors are very dedicated and supportive. What separates them especially is how open minded they are. There is zero favoritism which has been a thing at most gyms. Everyone is treated with the same enthusiasm and goal to make every student better. Lastly, and what stuck out to me was the number of instructors and higher belts that there are there. There is also a good amount of females that train all of the time at Nexus!"

"Back in August 2023, my fiancé and I got to drop in for a class. Even though the gym is new, you can immediately tell that the staff there are very experienced and some of the toughest guys and girls I had the pleasure of training with. Pros: The instructors there, especially Gannon & Evan, are very personable and easy to work with. All the upper-belt training partners there are very high level and will be able to give you a good roll whether your a beginner or professional grappler/fighter. From what I have seen, these guys are very advanced in the Gi but also exceptional in No-gi. When it comes to training in the Gi, Gannon teaches some really advanced techniques that I have never seen before (been training for 6 years, 10-20 hours a week). He was very well-versed in articulating how to perform techniques, such as Anubis Guard and De La Worm Guard, to someone that’s never touched them before. The gym environment is very healthy, clean,and welcoming for anyone who visits or trains there. You will always get a warm reception when you walk in or call their work phones. Cons: I’m scrapping bottom of the barrel to try and knit pick anything. In general, just make sure you don’t come in after eating lots of greasy and fat foods. These guys know how to set a good pace and will keep you moving at their pace. Overall, we had a really great time talking to all the gym members there. Definitely one of the best gyms in the NOVA/DMV area and I would recommend anyone to pass any chance they get."

"I would add another star if I could! Recently visited Nexus, and it was a great experience. Gannon is very experienced and is a thoughtful instructor that enjoys teaching. He genuinely cares about his students experience and success. We will be back very soon! If you are local and looking for a gym check them out. If you are traveling, try dropping in, and if you have your own gym already you can still check them out!"
