Double Phoenix Jiu-Jitsu re-opened up a class for 3 to 6-year-olds. It's offered Monday and Wednesday at 4:50 pm to 5:20 pm. So far my kid loves going there and gets a decent workout. Right now there are a couple of girls and a couple of boys attending the class. I like how they ease these young kids into Jiu-Jitsu by getting them to do light workouts, running, jumping, hanging, hopping, playing simple physical games that require balance and quick moves. Two months into it, now they're starting actual Jiu-Jitsu techniques. It's quite adorable to watch them push and wrestle with each other and give high fives after each mini competition. The main instructor for this class is Coach Andre. He is great with the kids... patient, straight forward, gentle, friendly. He's from Brazil and has been practicing Jiu-Jitsu for many years and won several competitions. Impressive in a lot of ways.

I’ve been training at Double Phoenix for over six months now, and I waited this long to write a review because I wanted to be sure I gave an honest take. Let me tell you—it’s been amazing. Family-Friendly Environment: As a single mom, one of the biggest things for me is knowing my daughter is welcome wherever I go. At Double Phoenix, that’s never been an issue. I can bring her to classes, and she’s always treated like part of the family. It’s such a relief to train somewhere that understands and supports parents. Flexible Class Schedules: Morning, noon, or night—there’s always a class that fits my day. Whether I’m squeezing in a session during lunch or winding down with some evening rolls, the schedule is super flexible, which makes staying consistent so much easier. Amazing Classes: The professors and coaches here are incredible. Professors Tammy, Kyle, and Andre, along with Coaches John and Peter, bring so much knowledge and energy to every class. Each of them has their own style, so every session feels fresh and exciting. Whether you’re just starting jiu-jitsu or have been training for years, Double Phoenix has everything you’d want in a gym—fantastic instruction, a welcoming vibe, and a strong sense of community. I’m so glad I found this place.

This is a really good gym that I recommend. The atmosphere is accommodating (great for parents and travelers), multicultural and in a nice location. They have some really good mat space, which is good because the gym has a high attendance rate. You will meet people from Eastern and Western Europe, as well as people from across the nation and South America as well. Training there is has really been a pleasure as a traveler. Whether it is from the top notch head instructors that or the other upper belts that boast an eclectic range of skillsets and games to train against, you can't go wrong training here.

Double Phoenix Jiu Jitsu has been so great to me ever since I joined. I was so nervous to start classes cause I didn't know anyone but the instructors have been so sweet and caring. They have helped me feel included and have fun in the class. The students there are very sweet. They care well about their students and the place is very very clean. I am a very grossed out person but I can assure that place is spotless and such a healthy environment. It's a very diverse place. It is like a second home, it's comforting and helps me relief a lot of stress. Thank you Double Phoenix Jiu jitsu

The environment is warm and welcoming, perfect for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. The care they show for their students is remarkable; each person is treated with attention, respect, and encouragement to constantly improve.

My boys and I have been doing Jiu Jitsu for 4 years, and I can truly say the instructors here have elevated their game to a new level. Regardless of your level, the coaches here work with you and explain techniques in a way that everyone understands. You will get some of the best instruction from Jiu Jitsu Professionals and Athletes. Double Phoenix Jiu Jitsu is one of the cleanest gyms my boys and I have been to; again, my boys and I have been doing this for 4 years, and we have been to some dirty gyms. The place is very clean. Double Phoenix Jiu Jitsu is family-friendly and creates events for the entire family to take part in. They work with you and create an environment that promotes growth. Whether your kids are in the class or you, as a parent, are in the class, you will learn and grow. We have been coming here now for 5-6 months now, the boys love coming here.

If you are looking for Jiu Jitsu training that is good and challenging taught by a staff that is friendly and helpful, I recommend this one. I have also discovered that other members of the dojo are willing to assist. I enjoy the kick boxing classes as well. Overall, if you are looking to learn some practical skills, improve your conditioning, and be part of a community, this is the right place.

Double Phoenix Jiu Jitsu is by far the best gym I have ever trained at. I've tried multiple gyms in several states and this one is the best. No matter the class size, you still get one on one instruction and all of the members are willing to help out or demonstrate techniques. During my first class, Coach Kyle pulled me and another student aside and basically gave us a private lesson. You can tell Coach Tammy and Kyle both take pride in their craft and have provided a safe and welcoming environment for students to learn and grow. If you are in the Sterlimg area, do yourself a favor and check them out. Truly a great gym.

I had the opportunity to drop-in for training while I was in town on business. Professor Kyle and Professor Tammy were extremely welcoming, as were the other members in the no gi class that I attended. The instruction was awesome and they treated me as if i was one of their own. Great place with a great, welcoming environment. I will definitely try to train there again when I am passing through. Many thanks, Professors Kyle and Tammy!

My son has been training BJJ at Double Phoenix in Sterling for almost one year. He really enjoys learning from Coach Kyle and Coach Zander. They make it fun for kids, allowing games after technical classes and offering family days without extra charge to parents. The office offers a very comfortable environment for parents, including sofas, wi-fi, and stand-up desk areas, where I have been able to work remotely while waiting for my kiddo. It also has drinks available for sale (including chocolate milk and other fast acting carbohydrates), which is convenient when my son's blood sugar is dropping fast after a class. My son has Type 1 diabetes. He was very welcomed by Coach Kyle and Coach Tammy. He has been wearing an insulin pump and CGM during classes and never had an issue. BJJ has helped my son to be more confident against bullies. I particularly appreciate the bullying proof classes that BJJ offers, especially teaching emotional intelligence in addition to self-defense tools. I just wish Double Phoenix had more Brazilian clients. Then, my kid would also be able to practice Portuguese 😀.

Excellent school!. Coaching staff is first rate! Training emphasizes your own journey, at your pace, and with no pressure, so it works great for all ages. Coach Kyle and Coach Tammy, both black belts under 9-time world champion Lucas Lepri, are both highly accomplished professionals and great teachers. Their teaching approach via clear, step-by-step demonstrations followed by plenty of drills really help you understand the science behind the art, develop proper technique, and to steadily improve. You will love it! I highly recommend that you check out Double Phoenix!

I've been training at Double Phoenix for over a year now, and I can't express how grateful I am to have found this gym. I was relatively new to the area when I first tried the gym and I knew right away it was the place for me. The instruction here is top-notch – the instructors are not only skilled practitioners but also phenomenal teachers, which is a rare combination. However, what really sets this gym apart is the amazing atmosphere that Professors Tammy and Kyle have built. From day one, I felt welcomed into this amazing community. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, it's a place where people from all walks of life come together to share a common passion for Jiu Jitsu and have fun practicing this amazing martial art. If you're searching for a Jiu Jitsu gym that offers exceptional instruction and a welcoming community, Double Phoenix is the place. I wholeheartedly recommend this gym to anyone looking to embark on their Jiu Jitsu journey or looking to continue refining their skills.

You are smart to take time to read the reviews. Come roll with us! Get into a positive frame of mind with what you can learn from Jiu Jitsu. Patience, control over your emotions and improved fitness. I started at Double Phoenix Jiu Jitsu in September with my son. I have a lot to learn, but I have enjoyed the process immensely. I make mistakes but I make them in a safe place where everyone wants to see me improve. I am approaching this like I am learning a new language. I make mistakes but learn to adjust. I have increased patience at work now. My temper has all but disappeared. I don’t even get upset in traffic! My take aways from Professor Kyle and the more experienced athletes in the class put me in a positive frame of thought after a long and stressful day. No matter what the day threw at me I actually come and relax in the hour long instruction. My partners allow me learn in a safe and encouraging environment! When I am not in class, I try to learn how to improve with Professor Kyle’s videos from the web. I enjoy coming in with Gi or No Gi instruction, they compliment each other. The facilities are always clean and welcoming! Kids and adults alike will benefit from classes. Kids will be able to focus better in school and adults will benefit from some stress relief and improved fitness. I won’t be seeking out fights, but if I find myself in one, I feel I am better prepared, regardless of the scenario. ROLL WITH US! First time is free, but it won’t be the last.

The information we received was structured in such way that a lot of dots started to connect very naturally, this is pure gold for a beginner like me! In my opinion, this is the type of experience that can set this academy apart from others. I know I'm in the right place when I have professors that can tailor their teaching and can make sure that students really understand the fundamentals. Everyday my son and I show up for class is a great experience but tonight was another level! I left super excited and really looking forward to doing it again tomorrow!

Ok, this place is INSANE! I have done TaeKwonDo for pretty much my entire life, but when COVID hit and contact was forbidden, martial arts really halted for me. After moving to a new location during lockdown, I had to find a new school to resume my martial arts journey. We checked out several schools around the area in Great Falls and McLean, but nothing really gave us the experience and community that my previous academy gave me. That was until I found Double Phoenix, and coaches Kyle, Tammy, and Xander These three coaches have been so inviting and vibrant since the day I came and have made my segue into the grappling arts a fantastic experience. And that is not to mention the incredible group of people here who are so much fun to roll with. I really hope you give this place a try, as there really isn’t anyone better at doing the things that they do, and at creating a community like they have.

If you are looking for a place to learn jiu jitsu I highly recommend Double Phoenix Jitsu. As a newcomer to the sport of jiu jitsu I have been extremely impressed with the organizational, professional, and student friendly instructors and staff. From the first day it was readily apparent that they work exceptionally hard at producing an environment that is conducive to learning while simultaneously being fun, challenging, and safe. As a recently retired guy, it was particularly important to me that they be accepting of older students. I was pleasantly surprised by their acceptance. From the customer-friendly front desk staff to the actual instructors, they demonstrate and enthusiasm for the sport and a positive attitude that permeates the entire training experience. Their dedication to the sport is particularly evident in their patient training approach that focuses on teaching skills and allocating sufficient time for students to practice those skills. All things considered, Double Phoenix Jiu Jitsu has all the things you would hope to find: a first-class facility, with first-class instructors, who consistently deliver first-class instruction.

Overall a great gym for anyone interested in starting their martial arts journey. I spent many months training at double phoenix and had a good experience. I learned a ton and made many friends along the way. From day one Professor Kyle was present and welcoming. I was provided a great introduction to bjj as well as its applications in self defense. *The community at Double Phoenix was extremely welcoming and friendly. Honestly the people are a breath of fresh air. If you’re looking to make friends & new connections, Double Phoenix is a great place to be. Even if you’re a bit shy! *Kickboxing was super fun and educational with instruction provided by Coach Zander. Zander is a great instructor and an extremely nice person. I got to learn many fundamentals and had a blast in sparring. *The facility is very clean and modern. There’s some nice couches, seating/tables, and coffee. The mats are very well made. I always felt safe taking big falls due to how crazy bouncy and absorbent they are. Mats are 10/10 I’m no longer at DPJJ, but I’m very thankful for my time there. I’ll miss my friends, but plan to return every so often for drop ins.

I went to my first BJJ class at Double Phoenix and was blown away at the depth of a sport I had barely heard of. The instruction from Professor Kyle and Professor Tammy is detailed and thorough and if you have any questions their years of experience will provide answers. Even when the primary instructors are not around or allowing more advanced students to teach, the depth of skill and experience from the upper belts is amazing. The sense of community and willingness to grow together as a team is huge at Double Phoenix and I would recommend it to experienced practitioners of BJJ and new members alike.

I started my Jiu Jitsu journey with Double Phoenix and after training here for over a year, I'm glad I didn't go anywhere else. Professor Tammy and Kyle are not only great practitioners but also excellent teachers. The instruction is technical and the drills have a lot of intention behind them. I really enjoy how they break down techniques and sequences into key details and concepts that are more manageable. Everyone is very welcoming and passionate about BJJ, and one of the best parts of training here is learning from the other students. All of the color belts are willing to answer questions, give advice, and share things they've learned from their journey - even if you constantly bug them with questions like I do. The other whitebelts are pushing me to improve too: we develop friendly rivalries and we're always learning to counter each other's favorite moves. Just sign up for a free class and you won't regret it!

I am now 20 and moving away for college soon and I can't imagine what training is going to be like without them. They train under 9X world champion Lucas Lepri, so the technique they teach comes directly from one of the best in the world. Along with the amazing coaches, the other members here are friendly and have a deep passion for Jiu Jitsu, creating an atmosphere for training unlike any other. Double Phoenix is by far the best school in this area.

Very dedicated teaching staff, great training environment, and genuine people. Professors Kyle and Tammy go out of their way to keep their team up to date with technique by consistently seeking , studying, and integrating modern techniques into their curriculum. It’s a very critical and entertaining way of learning the art of Jiu Jitsu. They also frequently import knowledge from “battle” tested Jiu Jitsu practitioners in the form of quarterly seminars. If you aspire to be a successful Jiu Jitsu player, the teaching staff can accommodate that; they’ve coached teammates that have achieved world championship titles. In my opinion, the atmosphere is a happy medium of competition training and recreational training. Their format allows for folks from all walks of life to feel welcomed. I recommend for anyone to check this place out; whether you’re a beginner or an aspiring professional Jiu Jitsu player.

The best Jiu Jitsu instruction that you can get in Virginia. I have scouted out several BJJ gyms in the past and one thing that set this gym apart from the rest was immediately how welcome I felt on my first day. The technical instruction is also structured very well with moves building up from more foundational aspects across several classes. The facility is also in top shape. However, what really takes the cake at Double Phoenix and made me come back class after class, (an experience you can't get anywhere else) are the people there. Coach Kyle and Coach Tammy's enthusiasm for Jiu Jitsu is reflected in their phenomenal instruction! Their passion made me come to love the sport. The gym culture and atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend for everyone to try it out no matter your goal, whether it is to get into shape or compete!

Everyone, from the instructors all the way down to the newest members, is respectful and wants to help you succeed in your BJJ journey. I've always struggled with BJJ due to the lack of benchmarks in accurately gauging my understanding. The training program at DPBJJ lays out the curriculum for each phase in your journey, while also giving you incremental milestones for your growth. These milestones and the overall atmosphere of the gym made learning BJJ fun and easy to comprehend. I highly recommend it to anyone, that struggles to learn BJJ, to try out Double Phoenix.

I would like to share my experience of going to Double Phoenix Jiu-Jitsu. Knowing what the sport is and how important the coach is in the lives of his students I was very careful in choosing the right club for my son. Referred by our family friend we decided to give it a try especially with the promotion of the first free session. Like many little kids, my son cried during part of the first session but came home and said that he still wants to go there and try again. Since that time this has become his favorite sport. Looking at the way coach Kyle and his spouse take care of our kids and teach them not only physical aspects of this sport but also mentoring them, giving mini-lectures growing respect, responsibility, morale, and discipline, I'm 100% sure that we made the right choice. Moreover, the atmosphere in this place, the coaches, and my son motivated me to start classes as well.

This is honestly one of the best gyms I’ve ever been at I haven’t been able to go there consistently but every time I go the team and the professors are welcoming and push me to my limit which is what I enjoy

I started Jiu Jitsu back in February 2021 with Double Phoenix and have loved every minute, even while being submitted continuously! Coach Kyle and coach Tammy are extremely knowledgeable and skilled on top of being kind and patient while still pushing you passed what you think you are capable of doing. No matter how dumb my question may be, they always have time to answer it or demonstrate what I'm asking about. The rest of the team is the same way. I have yet to meet anyone here, from a brand new white belt to multi-year brown belt, who isn't willing to pass on what they know and help you improve. Everyone I have seen is welcomed with open arms. No matter what shape you're in or how much you know, there is a place here for you.

The community and professionalism that you find in this school is second to none. Professor Kyle and professor Tammy take their time for their students to develop quality jiu-jitsu as well as a positive and welcoming environment. If you'd like to know what you're capable of while reaching your physical and mental potential daily, this is an outstanding school to do so. I have been training now 4 months in this school and the humbling experience is the best, there is always room for improvement. Double phoenix jiu-jitsu also has a great kids program that prepares them for the real world, you will not regret it.

So I started Jiu Jitsu little over 3 weeks ago and while I’ve been working on being more consistent with attending class, I was very excited to see such a family that has been built over time. The coaches have made me feel comfortable asking questions, and the people I have “rolled” with allow me time to process the move and have been very patient with me as I learn a completely new sport. Professors Kyle and Tammy really know what they are doing and break everything down so you learn proper technique. I’m hoping to attend more frequently so I can really master the white belt moves but overall, you really should try them out!

Double Phoenix has been one of the best activities we have enrolled our children in. Professor K is excellent with all the kids teaching them not only jiu jitsui but also how to be a good citizen and person. They have great communication with the parents too. Our kids do other activities but this has been so valuable we are continuing with jiu jitsui at the same time. It has also helped them in their other sports with more focus, strength, balance, and stamina! I’m so glad we stopped by to just try it out. The kids have a lot more confidence and seems to be helping with their attitude at home and school. Keep up the good work Double Phoenix!

This place is wonderful! Our son has been attending for a little over a month now. The coaches are encouraging, yet firm. Not only does an hour at Double Phoenix get our son’s energy out, but he is also learning the importance of humility, teamwork, and being a good sport. Top notch place!

The best choice I could've made upon moving to the area. I wanted to learn BJJ and saw the sign for Double Phoenix. Read up on the gym online and decided to try it out. There's a great culture here, and the instructors are very focused on helping you as an individual. It's very much worth it to me. This place has become a way to relax and have a good time, as well as focus on and learn an art. It's worth trying out.

The coaches at Double Phoenix are outstanding. They are all very technical, and they take time to really make sure you grasp the techniques. The team environment is great as well. Everyone at the gym is very welcoming. This is a great place to train. If you are looking for a gym,. I highly recommend it.

Awesome school! We've only been here for 2 weeks but my sons (ages 13 and 11) love it. They've learned tons already. The instructors are patient, calm, and caring yet firm.

This is a one of a kind place to train! If you want to train hard with amazing people that treat you like family, then it doesn't get any better than this! The Professors are extremely detailed and down to earth- It's one thing to be talented, it's another to be talented and have the ability to teach. I also have never been on mats as good as these! The mats are thick and elevated over springs- super soft to land on. The facility is always clean and cool- never smells like feet :) As a female, it was a little daunting thinking about joining a gym. But after my first class, I was hooked. Everyone was so inviting and informative, never made me feel dumb for not knowing the BJJ culture/rules. This isn't just a gym and place to train, it's a family and a lifestyle, and we protect both at all cost.

We love Double Phoenix! The staff are amazing. We enrolled them over the summer just to have fun, exercise, and provide structure. The coaches have done all of that and more. Such a positive atmosphere, very welcoming with a strong family/community environment. All of the parents and children encourage each other. Coach Kyle has taught more to our boys in 2 months then they have learned in other sports over the past 2 years. We’re very pleased. We enrolled them here and it was great decision. They look forward to learning new moves, seeing their friends and having fun each day they have class. During Covid there has never been a lack of cleanliness or any concern. Thanks for providing our kids confidence and giving them mental and physical toughness, keep it up!!

The owners, coaches Kyle and Tammy, have poured their hearts and souls into this school and it shows! They have worked hard to create a culture of learning and community. They continuously and freely share their extensive knowledge and constantly encourage every student to do their very best. The same goes for every single coach that teaches and every upper belt that trains. They always take time out of their training to teach anyone that is willing to learn. Their entire program, from kids classes to fundamentals to advanced classes, is tailored to each persons skill level. No matter whether you're a complete beginner or you've been training for years, everyone will enthusiastically welcome you with open arms! I absolutely cannot recommend this school enough and I tell everyone I know to give it a try!

Definitely the number 1 Jiu jitsu school in the area. Coach Kyle and Tammy have created an amazing environment where you can come to be a world class athlete or to just get in shape. The students are always willing to hell each other and I highly recommend giving it a try. 10/10

I have three children with the youngest being two months. As a result, my oldest was getting less and less attention and was starting to act out for it. My husband and I knew we wanted him in a discipline-oriented sport and it seemed about the right time to start looking. We thought Jiu Jitsu would be a great lifetime skill. As a SAHM, I'm very flexible on the days, hours, and location as long as it works with my sons school schedule. I live in Manassas and all the classes here were either 2-3 days a week with some not even a hour long. So I expanded my search and found Double Phoenix Jiu Jitsu in Sterling which had 1hr classes 5 days a week. I thought it a bit far to travel everyday, but I'd give it a try. My son took to it so well! He was happy to exercise and even though he wasn't as worn out as I hoped, the 5:30-6:30 class had him hungry and ready for bed when we got home. He is with mostly women all day, so its nice to get him around other people and more boys/men to connect with (the class does have a few girls too!). There's several payment plans to choose from, which are all month-month based vs. per class, as there is no limit on the classes you attend for the months that you pay. Very easy, very relaxed - which, even though this is a serious sport and has competitions, it has a wonderful sense of laid-back cooperation to it. The easiest example being M,W,F are Gi/uniform days, and T,R are dress down days. We've only attended a week at this point and I'm quite impressed by what I've already seen. Both of the owners coach and are patient with my son and the rest of the class. The class itself is also encouraged to help one another, which is great team building and social skill off the mat as well. I feel comfortable leaving for the hour if I need to, or staying to watch with my other two kids. I'm hoping the have another day camp before school starts. Additionally, the office manager is very kind and is always happy to help - to which I am always grateful for. I also like that they utilize a group app called Band. I get notifications of cancelations, competitions, etc. right on my phone and it's simple to have everyone in one place. Its much more personal than FB and its nice to see the pictures of the adult classes, competitions, and even pets of the members. Overall, we are very happy to have found DPJJ and the small but strong community it continues to foster. Definitely worth the drive and funds not only to keep my son busy, but to help build the skills he needs as he grows. Looking forward to attending for the long haul!

At the ripe old age of 48 I was very hesitant to start up my Jiujitsu training again. I trained for a couple years in my younger days but had to stop after numerous injuries and life in general. I started with their awesome fundamentals class and now take the regular classes as well. The instructors and students here allow me to go at my own pace and have been nothing but helpful and encouraging in reaching my goals. Weight loss, flexibility, and my overall health has drastically improved. I love the training and now everyone in my family trains here as well. They also have a great class schedule with many time slots. Perfect for those people who have busy work schedules and families.

I watched my son try his first class yesterday. He was the youngest and smallest in the room. Within 3 minutes both instructors turned a blind eye. An experienced student twice his size wrenched my kids legs and bent his back while they were attempting wheelbarrow. When I saw it happen the second time, Kyle insisted I not interrupt and proceeded to back me away from the class. (Kyle will try to obstruct your path, direct you with his body and push you around with his fingers even if you are not his student. Pretty funny.) Within a minute my son was crying and looking for me. I took off my shoes, but still Kyle insisted I could not go get my son. They brought him to me in tears and we left, Kyle following us out to convince me we didn’t have a bad experience - sensei cult style. Pretty laughable, away from the other parents, even in the parking lot as I strapped in my boy and walked around to get in my truck, he was still trying to regain control. I can handle my kid crying and I can handle my kid getting hurt. I can’t handle the other parts of what was going on- the quest to control, the lawn signs everywhere, the $150 uniform (?!?!) and the obvious farming of positive online reviews. This is not the first martial art school I walked out of on day one. But it felt the best. I encourage everyone to try multiple schools before choosing one.
