Met with John Marine and Ashley and they were both welcoming and their class was fantastic. A little over an hour is technical drilling and then open rounds after. The Muay Thai class started towards the end of open rounds and as I was leaving they started the Escrima class so I stayed for a few minutes to watch. The community was nice and the rolls were even better. Highly recommended. Will be back whenever I'm in town for work. See you guys back on the mats soon. Thanks for the hospitality!

There is no doubt that they have cultivated the most competitive, family friendly jiu-jitsu school in the county. They really cater to everyone, whether you're brand new or a high level competitor. The new facility itself is top notch! Super clean, well-maintained, and equipped with what I would say is the nicest grappling mat in the county (Foam subfloor with brand new dollamurmats!) Safety is a top priority, with strict protocols in place to ensure the well-being of all participants. Additionally, they offer a variety of class options to accommodate different schedules and interests, allowing each family member to find their perfect fit. My kids and I couldn't be happier to be training here at Virtus! I know they're technically a new school, but they are a team that has been through the crucible and have come out stronger than ever!

Class started with a nice warm up and some self defense before we got into some positioning drills then some rounds of rolling. Overall it was a great experience to check out The Pit. I am usually visiting the area on the weekends so I would give 6 stars if there was jiu jitsu then. Thank you John, Adrian, and the Pit crew for the hospitality! Sammy

We waited a good while before someone greeted us but then told us that they weren't in charge. Since nothing was explained to us, we didn't know what to do or where to get supplies like gloves when all the other kida did. The teachers tried to help the kids and were involved. Overall the class was fine, but not the best fit for my kid so we ended up not registering.
