    Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been a part of my life for 5 years now, and I am near earning my purple…read morebelt. During this time, I have traveled around to various gyms, learning from many blackbelts and training with many different people. With that, I can say that Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu is one of my favorite locations to train at. I trained here for about 12 hours during my 2 weeks visit to the Newport News area, and I have much to say about this awesome gym.  If you're searching for a jiu-jitsu gym that combines top-notch instruction, a welcoming community, and a commitment to personal growth, Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu is the gym for you. The instructors here are nothing short of exceptional. Their expertise is evident, but what truly sets them apart is their ability to teach complex techniques in a clear, accessible way. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find their guidance both insightful and encouraging. They're always willing to take the time to address individual questions and provide personalized feedback. The atmosphere at Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu is incredibly supportive. It's clear that everyone from the seasoned black belts to the new white belts shares a common goal of mutual respect and improvement. The camaraderie is evident, and the positive energy makes every class enjoyable, no matter how challenging. Additionally, the facilities are exceptional. The mats are clean, well-maintained, and spacious enough to accommodate all levels of training. At one point, there looked to be about 16 students rolling on the mats. The gym also offers a variety of classes, including GI and no-GI options, which keeps the training fresh and exciting. Personally, I am intrigued with two classes: "Pathway to Purple Belt" and "4 oz Fridays." As I understand, both classes are necessary to earn a purple belt. I do not see these two classes as a hurdle to purple belt, but as an exciting challenge and an opportunity to improve my skills as a martial artist. Overall, Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu stands out as a gem in the jiu-jitsu community. It's not just a place to learn martial arts; it's a place to build confidence, make friends, and push yourself beyond what you thought possible. I highly recommend this location, and I will be training at this gym every time I return to the Newport News area.

    My family is into this sport, so were eager to try this new Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Studio located on…read morethe corner of Jefferson and Thimble Shoals in Newport News. Owned by local professionals, Julia and Vance, they have endeavored to take their hobby to the next level with this studio. The studio is small but adequate for classes, with a small area for kids to hang out while parents roll. A class for girls 6-12 is beginning soon. All levels of skill are welcome and all train together. The web site provides the specifics about when and what is offered. One of my family members said he loves the mats because they absorb falls and flips. He said they are the best he has been on, and he has been a member at several studios in Hampton Roads. The vibe is one of an intimate space to get to work. No frills and distractions. When you walk in, the mats are right there. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming but students and instructors are working hard! Jiu jitsu attracts students of all ages and sizes, abilities and motivations. Some seek the physical training aspects of the sport, others self defense ability and others to take their skill to the next level. This new studio seems to be all of those things! Growing and integrating a new business into the martial arts community, this studio is a welcome addition.

If I had known about this place before coming up, I would've brought my daughters' Gis because they even offer a girls-only kids class, which I think is amazing. The instruction is great, the vibe is positive, and the people are awesome. Every time I'm in town, this is 100% where I'll be training. You really do feel like family here.
