Best Jiu-Jitsu Academy to start your family!!! Some schools out there teach bad habits or take so much time to teach basic skills, but not Virtus! The immersion and exposure to so many different levels of grapplers and teachers is unlike any other school we’ve tried. But the best thing about Virtus is the culture. Family friendly, flexible, but also competitive for those seeking to become champions!

I attended Virtus BJJ Checkmat in Pensacola a few times during Open mat while I drive through there to VA from TX and while I had fun with a few of the other belts, there was a young female employee whom I recently had the displeasure of meeting, she seemed to not really be happy about working there which is weird since it's always been such a great community in all the gyms I've been to where the employees have equal passion for BJJ as all the members. She made her way to me when I took a break for some water I brought and because she didn't recognize me demanded to know who I came with and that the "Open Mat" was for members only and if I wanted to stay I would have to pay $25. Which is not what any Open Mat I have been to is nor does it mention that anywhere on their website and had I known wouldn't have gone there, maybe $5-$10 but $25 seems a bit steep for a for even 1 day. While I had been there a few times before I never stay longer than 2-3 rolls about 30 or so minutes, as I was Medically Retired from the military my body just isn't what it used to be and I let the people that I roll with to know that. I hadn't seen much of her till the open mat the other day but I would highly recommend that the Gym management take a look into her as I have seen other comments in here about her specifically as well. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and treat people with respect and how I'd want to be treated. But she charged at me with attitude, disgust and hostility. I will never go back to them again. I have been to some of the other BJJ academies in the area and have been met with respect and no one asked for money at an open mat I did ask if they needed $ too, maybe was a regional thing and they thought it was outlandish that such a demand was made. I give 1/5 stars as I can't give 0 because there are some nice people there, if not for that disgruntled employee I'd probably be closer to 3.5 to 4 stars.

Best gym in Pensacola! I travel an hour, four times a week, just to train here—and it’s absolutely worth it! Not only is it the cleanest gym I’ve ever seen, but the way they welcome you truly makes you feel right at home. I’m so honored to be a part of the Virtus family!

Very welcoming gym, I loved training here! Everyone is kind and it's clear they're really trying to foster a good community. Whenever I've brought up a concern, they're receptive and have always addressed it promptly. What I love is that they go out of their way to talk in person and make sure everything is resolved. BJJ is an amazing sport that I would recommend to everyone, and training at Virtus is a great way to improve both in and out of the mats.
