The Jiu-Jitsu Academy is a unique martial arts school in the Metropolitan DC area, offering a unique program that focuses on the foundational techniques developed over a millennium in Japan. Our training adheres to the techniques and strategy that allows Jiu-Jitsu practitioners to prevail in violent encounters despite an attacker's advantages of size, strength, speed, or the use of weapons. Our program includes striking, throwing, and grappling techniques, as well as joint locks, chokes, and disarming techniques. We also offer private lessons, group classes, and instruction from experienced instructors, including our Senior Instructor, John Coller, who has over 25 years of experience in martial arts. Our junior program is available for children starting at age 6, and we welcome adult members of all ages and skill levels.
