Tidewater BJJ Academy Virginia Beach

"I appreciate the openness offered to athletes of any skill level! As a complete beginner I have never felt anything but welcomed to learn and train. They’ve thrown me in with beasts and with beginners - and everyone makes you feel comfortable. (Well, as comfortable as possible haha) And the gym is clean! Side note, the beats are always hitting too!"

"Great Jiu-Jitsu gym. Tyler is an awesome coach!"

"I’ve stayed at TWBJJ for so long because out of all the places I’ve trained at in the area, TWBJJ did one thing no gym in my experience did: treat me like a friend, not like a monthly payment. Thats why I’ve stayed. The people ebb and flow given the area and demographic on the mat. However, the family atmosphere and high level of instruction never changes. Its always a good time here and I rarely come across training partners I’d rather not see. Tyler does a great job of cultivating an up to date training program and his level of knowledge and ability to incrementally break down techniques is IMO unmatched. Don’t be weird. Check out the Calendar and come through and train: Fundamentals … Advance … Foot Lock Fridays … Open Mat (Sunday Service)… or MMA There is a class for you and I’m sure you’ll find you’ll want to stay."

"Great jiu jitsu academy. I've only had the pleasure of learning from Tyler George but his instruction is articulate and clear. Whether you are experienced or inexperienced this is a great spot for jiu jitsu."

"My son (7) has been going here for a little over a month now and we really like it. The kids classes are generally small, which allows for a lot of personalized instruction. Coach Tyler is excellent with the kids. He's one of those rare types who can comfortably build rapport with the kids while still maintaining an easy authority. He is very aware of what goes on in his class and good at holding his students accountable without making them uncomfortable. I have found this to be a very healthy and friendly learning environment and I would definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for instruction in Jiu Jitsu for themselves or their children!"
