I am really loving my experience at Dominion BJJ. At my last school we just learned a submission of the day and drill that over and over. At Dominion the classes are more structured with a strong mix of teaching techniques and drilling. Bill and Michelle are extremely patient with their students and enjoy watching them succeed.
Jiu Jitsu coaches AND Muay thai coaches are some of the best in town! Very knowledgeable and caring group here.
Excellent Jiu-Jitsu School! Dominion BJJ is a fantastic place to train! The instructors are skilled, patient, and supportive, making it great for all levels. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the training is both challenging and rewarding. If you’re looking for top-notch Jiu-Jitsu in a positive environment, Dominion BJJ is the place to be!
Best Coaches and Best Team VA has ever seen!! Big respect!!!
Nice clean gym, knowledgeable staff, welcoming and friendly community. It’s nice to have a martial arts gym that I feel comfortable going to as a female.
Dropped in for a class while in town for the day from Florida. Great coaching, clean facility and friendly atmosphere. If you’re looking for a gym in the area - would recommend them as a start.
We love DominionBJJ! Coach Bill & Michelle are amazing instructors and have done wonders building up our kids with confidence, technique, & overall respect. They went from complete novices to craving competitions and being wanting to go to the gym with their friends 4-5 times a week. DominionBJJ is also very welcoming. It’s easy to be intimidated as an adult but everybody is super cool & supportive. So much so my wife and I started taking classes as well. Highly recommend if you are interested in BJJ or Muay Thai.
Michelle and Bill (the owners) are the best! Super friendly and kind. If you are interested in getting into Brazilian Ju-Jitsu this is the place. Honestly not knowing anything and feeling like I don’t belong they truly were understanding and welcoming.
I recommend anyone in the Manassas and surrounding area check out this gym. The two owners/instructors are both black belts and compliment each other well. Michelle is a veteran competitor with a ton of medals from the most prestigious competitions in the BJJ world. Coach Bill is one of the most technical and knowledgeable instructors I know in regards to technique, competition, and anything grappling related. They have a large, clean and beautiful facility. They have programs for adults and children along with an excellent muay thai program. Whether you're interested in jiu-jistu for fun, self-defense, exercise or competition, this is the spot for you.
This place is great! Bill and Michelle are great instructors. My experience with the other students has been fantastic. When rolling with the more experienced belts they have taken time to explain moves, why they worked, why they didn’t work, and how to escape or execute them. Dominion BJJ has a par excellent atmosphere.
This place has great instructors, spacious classes, and welcoming, friendly people. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Great facility with experienced, friendly coaches, and a good sized mix of students so there is always someone to train with. If you're on the fence, take advantage of the 30-day free trial and see what you're missing out on.
The best teaching they got in northern virginia . Great coaches. If you want your kid to learn martial art, it is a great class. For jujitsu and muy thai kick boxing

I recently did the trial over my winter break and was not dissapointed. Everyone is very helpful, welcoming, and kind and I would definitely recommend to someone who is looking into getting into muay thai.
We recently relocated to the area, and enrolling my son at Dominion BJJ has proven to be one of the best decisions we've made. Not only does he thoroughly enjoy the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but he has also had the opportunity to make new friends, which has been a delightful experience for us as parents. One of the standout aspects of Dominion BJJ is the exceptional coaching staff. They are not only highly skilled in their craft but also incredibly patient, attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to nurturing young talents. Their dedication to fostering a positive and enriching environment for our children is truly commendable. I highly recommend Dominion BJJ to anyone seeking a top-notch martial arts program for their kids. It's a place where they can both learn and grow, not only in terms of their physical abilities but also in developing valuable life skills, all while having a fantastic time. This has been a wonderful addition to our new life in the area, and we couldn't be happier with our choice.
Mi hijo estaba pensando un mal momento ya no sabía que hacer para ayudarlo. Al principio prácticamente lo obligaba a ir pero poco a poco se integró el coach Jose le hizo sentir cómodo y más seguro de si mismo . Bajo de peso y mejoró su autoestima. El lugar es acogedor los entrenadores son muy amables y profesionales .
Amazing Teachers, great atmosphere, even the other students are kind and caring :)
Muay Thai class is very helpful for me to exercise my whole body. Class has active interaction with partners so it is not boring at all. For me, it is so much better than going to gym and lift something by myself.
Dominion BJJ has been great for me being a newbie to BJJ. It is a very clean and nice facility. The student are very welcoming and willing to work and help you learn. Coach Bill and Michelle are great at explaining and demonstrating techniques. Glad I found Dominion BJJ too start and continue practicing BJJ. Thanks Bill and Michelle.
Visited while in the area working.. excellent coaching.. great culture.. highly recommended..
We have joined the DominionBJJ family, everyone here is great. The trial is amazingly structured without any pressure to join. Coach Jose is very understanding and has allowed me to have some wiggle room with my work schedule and gym schedule. My daughter is in Muy Thai and she is loving it. The gym goers are respectful and courteous. I would recommend you all to give them a shot!
My son has been taking classes for a few months and loves Dominion BJJ! Coach Michelle takes great care of the kids. They take their time explaining the fundamentals of the lesson while still having fun and encouraging each other.
I've been training Muay Thai for about 2 months and I absolutely love it. It's exactly what I was looking for - legitimate training, sparring, etc. This is NOT an a Muay Thai themed aerobic workout class (UFC Gym, LA Boxing, etc), however, you will definitely get worked out. I started with a generous 30 day trial and would advise you to do the same.
I was able to train here as a drop in and will be coming back. Professors Bill and Michelle were very knowledgable, friendly and accommodating. They started with a good warm up and then focused on the various techniques of the day with good feedback and a lot of reps for us to build muscle memory. If you’re local to the area (or visiting), you should check this place out. They provide great instruction, good training partners and nice clean facility!
Excellent place to train and learn a lot. Since I knew nothing going in, the instructors' combined assistance has been tremendous, and I feel like I've already learned a lot.
We moved from Loundoun County to Prince William. My son was going to the gym and did sports here and there. But he was never fully interested. He said he wanted to try something new. I looked up places with ratings and reviews and stumbled across Dominion. I have never seen my son so happy and dedicated until he joined Dominion. Thank you for helping my son feel welcomed and inspired. I am so happy with his transformation. Thank you! I highly recommend!!!
My son loves it here. So much so, that I drive him from Warrenton. Though there are closer choices. This is his only choice! That’s what he told me. The instructors are top notch and highly skilled. It is a beautiful facility, well run, and a great atmosphere for kids and adults alike. Highly recommend
Amazing atmosphere. Michele and Bill are great professors and the environment is very welcoming, especially for someone like myself who is new to BJJ. I definitely would recommend for anyone trying to enter BJJ to visit Dominion BJJ!
This is a great school. They have structure suited for all different experience levels & ages. Also, the gym is always clean. Highly recommend Dominion BJJ!
I like it the coach Pedro is really good my girls love this place I highly recommend !
I'm a white belt who was passing through the area, so I signed up for just one month at Dominion. I'm so glad I did! Coaches Bill and Michelle are outstanding, detailed instructors who give great personal feedback, and everyone I met at this gym was very welcoming and a pleasure to drill/roll with.
Really love the atmosphere. The crew was welcoming and chill. I enjoyed the short time I was there.
I’ve only been training Muay Thai here for around 2-3 months but it is a great environment for learning. Sparring is encouraged but not mandatory and this place will make you a better fighter.
Great facility with awesome coaches! Very happy with my decision to join this family! Highly recommend!
Coach Bill and Coach Michelle are excellent instructors. I have trained at three different BJJ gyms and I have to say the atmosphere at Dominion is very positive. The people are friendly and always willing to help. The facility is top notch. You definitely would not go wrong with making Dominion your place to learn and train.
By far the best gym we’ve ever been to. First, the culture here makes you feel like family on day 1. They individualize their training and make sure you are improving to the next level. Very professional, teach kids confidence, discipline and independence! 10 star for me !
Couldn't be happier with our experience at Dominion BJJ and have recommended them to anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu. The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and simply amazing with all the kids. Our kids have fallen in love with Jiu Jitsu as a result.
Awesome kids BJJ program instructed by Michelle and Bill. My daughter is motivated and enjoys going to class every week and all of the students in the program are great kids. If you’re looking for a self defense program, especially for young girls, then this is the place to go.
One of the best sports jiu jitsu schools in the area. If you're looking to compete and get the best instruction for your game, look no further.
Best bjj gym I've been to hands down every thing is kept up on and clean the coaches bill & Michelle are world class
Bill and Michelle are awesome people and first class instructors. The academy is clean and large, with lots of options concerning BJJ, Judo and weight lifting. I travel often for work, so this is my third academy in five ish years of training. I train as I travel throughout the country, so I'm familiar with what options are out there. This academy stands above most in quality of instruction and overall culture. They have something to offer the full spectrum of potential students or long term high level competitors. To sum it up they're awesome people, and have created an amazing culture.
Very friendly and very skilled gym to learn BJJ, Muay Thai and Judo! They have a 30 day free trial and they provide all the gear you need so you just need to show up!
You get to learn from not just one but two very knowledgeable BJJ black belts. I don’t think I’ve had one question that Bill or Michelle haven’t been able to answer. The family aspect that comes with being a part of the gym has got me and many of my friends hooked.
I love the place u learn a lot from there
So friendly and welcoming! I had pretty much zero fitness when I started, and an old back injury I had to watch out for. I could climb a couple flights of stairs or hike 3-4 miles but not much else. The instructors and students at Dominion BJJ met me where I was, and I never felt pressured or rushed to do more than I was able, or judged for being out of shape or less skilled. I also didn’t feel judged for being a bigger, plus-sized woman but instead was encouraged to use my size as an asset and not be afraid of it. Everybody was just happy I was there and wanted me to come back. Other reviews noting the same things are what made me finally decide to try a class and I’m so glad I did. I noticed fitness improvements after just a couple classes (1-2/week), and my core strength improved so much that I was able to hike twice as long as I could prior to starting BJJ. Improved core strength has also been awesome for my back!! I’ve found great community and new friends as well.
I've been taking my kids (5,13,14) to Dominion BJJ for over a year now and it's great. There are lots of kids and lots of girls in the kids programs as well, so you'll definitely find a comfortable fit for you or your family here. Further, this particular school has the best culture, you aren't just joining a BJJ school, but also a family. You'll be happy here. It's a challenging but positive environment where you and your kids will feel great about earning your promotions, not just getting promoted for attendance and paying the fee. They have one of the only women's only classes with strong attendance in the area as well, led by owner and black belt Michelle Welti. Highly recommend!
Great place to train and learn good Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Excellent quality instruction.
The level of instruction offered at Dominion BJJ is effective, and dynamic; the people are spirited and positive, and the head instructors are truly some of the most technical in the game. I highly recommend this place for both seasoned competitors and novice grapplers alike.
Great Gym to go, great environment & very welcoming. Also Jose & Dillion do a great job teaching Muay Thai classes
This is the martial arts school you've been hoping to find. The gym is ran by two world class instructors from awesome BJJ lineage. The atmosphere is the most friendly and inviting you will find in the area. Once you get here you'll realize how fun and inviting BJJ can be, for you, and the whole family. If you're looking for a competitive atmosphere, Dominion has that too. Our instructors are hyper active and successful in the national competition scene and we have intense competition classes every week as well.
Excellent instruction suitable for all levels of learning! Positive group atmosphere and convenient times! Excellent facility which is always clean and environmentally controlled. No prolonged contract requirement and staff willing to work with individual schedules! Awesome!
I have been going to Dominion BJJ for a year and could not recommend it more. It’s quite intimidating to start BJJ and go into a gym full of people you don’t know. The coaches, Bill and Michelle made me feel a part of the team from day one. The vibe – not only from the coaches, but from the other students is very much that of a team and community. A huge plus for me is that they are welcoming to my children as well. Not only do they offer kids classes, but they also offer before and after school care, and a kid’s room for when I’m training. I would highly recommend the team at Dominion BJJ.
Awesome place, the instructors really know their stuff and everyone is incredibly friendly
I’ve been training at Dominion BJJ for almost 2 years now, I love every second of it. Bill, Michelle, and Jose are incredible instructors who have a love and a passion for what they do. Training in both Muay Thai and BJJ is incredibly fun, challenging, and rewarding, and I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else. Love my Dominion family!
Nothing but great things to say about Dominion! My family and I have been here for a little over a year now and it is hands down the best. Both of my kids are in the kids Jiu-Jitsu class and they have a blast! Bill and Michelle are the greatest instructors anyone could ask for! My son also partakes in the kids Muay Thai program here and loves it! Coach Jose has a great way with the kids. Great instruction and variety of different programs makes Dominion the prime time gym it is! If you're ever in the area and looking for a place to train, this is where to go.
Great place to learn self defense techniques, I enjoy every time I go ✌️
This place is phenomenal! The school provides professional classes in a non-hostile enviroment. Everyone is friendly and ready to accept you as part of the group. Bill and Michelle take great care into making sure you are actually learning the moves correctly and are very understanding. I realised after going here for a few months that I am getting way more than I am paying for and am truly grateful for them opening this school and allowing me to come in and let off steam! Brazilian Jujitsu is amazing when taught by the right people, and these are those people.
Great skilled Coaches and all around good people!
I have trained here for about three years now and I couldn't have asked for a better gym. The instructors here are so patient and supportive and we all feel like one family. You will most definitely grow as a martial artist and as a person at this gym. I highly recommend Dominion BJJ for anyone who wants to get in shape and learn self defense.
I can’t say enough positive things about Dominion. The BJJ instructors, Bill and Michelle, are fantastic coaches who explain every technique in incredible detail and help students of all capabilities learn BJJ. The environment that they’ve fostered is very welcoming, very family friendly, and has a strong sense of team. You’re gonna meet some amazing people! The facilities are second to none and a lot of pride and work has gone into making it what it is. If you’re on the fence and want to try BJJ or you’re looking for a new gym you need to check out Dominion! You won’t regret it. Also, they are amazing with kids and have an excellent program for them.
Dominion BJJ has a great atmosphere for beginners. I started training Jiu Jitsu roughly 6 months ago. I didn’t know what to expect walking through the door. On day one I was challenged with exercise drills, positions and some sparing but, it was all well explained and demonstrated. Other students had the patience to provide extra assistance and commentary to ensure I was performing drills/positions correctly. It didn’t take long for me to jump into Muah Thai and Judo. Both classes are equally exciting and informative. If you looking for a good workout.... This is it. I’ve lost roughly 45lbs in a few months taking multiple classes a week. We also have lots of fun gatherings outside of training. It’s a fun family and recommend it to everyone.
I got the feeling from this gym that they would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it. 1st class instruction from world class instructors! I would certainly recommend this gym to anyone interested in BJJ or Stand up fighting.
Manassas MMA is a great place to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu! Being a girl I was a little intimidated about going into a mixed class but everyone is so warm and welcoming. Instructors are patient and give advice to better your technique and are always willing to answer your questions. Very friendly and positive environment.
Coach Pete, (boxing coach), is dedicated to the boxing program and each individual student. He concentrates on boxing fundamentals and proper technique. My 5 year old son enjoys his class and looks forward to going twice per week.
The boxing coach is THE BEST around. I am 13 years old and have been working with Coach Pete for over a year. He is a great mentor and life coach for me, he truly cares about his students. Volunteering his time to teach kids how to box and prepare them for life in general.
I've seen how the boxing coach devotes his time to his students. He is a very detail oriented and patient coach. He teaches proper techniques and always encourages his students to be better. He models how to throw punches, move around the ring and defend. He provides feedback and allows his students to execute it. He makes boxing fun at the same time. I have seen students' transformation over period of months and it's really impressive. It's best to see the students and coach in action so you can see it for yourself.
Great place for Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing and Judo for kids and adults. Dave Trader is a top notch Jiu-Jitsu instructor in the NOVA area and Arturo is also a great Muay Thai and Boxing instructor. Overall its a very friendly environment to train Martial Arts for both kids and adults.
Making the decision to join something as physically intense as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was intimidating for me. I have severe asthma and am limited on how far I can push my body because of it. I was worried I would feel like the odd girl out from day one and be the person no one wanted to partner with. That never happened here. Our school doesn't make new people feel like pariahs and the instructors have worked with me from the very first to ensure I'm getting the most out of my training without putting my health at risk. The older students are warm and welcoming and eager to help everyone learn and do our best. I feel like my own skills have progressed rapidly under everyone's guidance, and my endurance has grown in leaps and bounds. This is hands down the best place to come for training!
Great school to train at everyone is friendly and helpful. Everyone at this school is trying to make the other person better. I have leaned so much in just two months of training. I would definitely recommend this school. The coaching is top level Dave really knows how to look and see the little thing you need to do to make moves work. I'm finding myself hitting sweeps I could never hit before great place to train.
Unwelcoming, going by the ...lack of a welcoming.. upon arriving for my first class. On top of some pretty spectacular side-eye.
