Forge: Skills. Strength. Character. No Shortcuts. No Excuses.
History
Fairfax Jiu Jitsu Academy was founded in May of 2007 by three friends and long-time training partners, David "The Rock" Jacobs, Mark Jones, and Sam Kim. Through their passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and an iron determination, they realized their vision of building a modern martial arts and combat sports training center in Northern Virginia like no other. FJJ's unique culture of Team, Collaboration, Growth, Skill Building, and, above all, Character, permeate everything inside of the academy.
