But I'm not going to lie I was a little intimidated taking a class when I watch their videos on Instagram. But a couple of days ago. I said to myself life is to short. What the heck! Just go for it. I didn't want to go alone. So I bought my little brother along with me. If you want to take a free intro class just go online to their website and sign up. The intro class is so worth it to actually see what it's all about. I've seen kickboxing on lifetime shows. But let me tell you. It's nothing like what you see on TV and how easy actors and actresses make it seem. It was a serious WORKOUT!!! But a great workout! At one point I did feel a little light headed. And thought I was going to pass the hell out. Lol! Smh! I look over at my little brother like helpppp!!! Lol! I couldn't make it to my water. So I just leaned on the wall to take some deep breaths. I couldn't go out like that and pass out on my first day. Everyone motivates each other. No one judges each other. I loved that! You don't find that at most places. Wow those women and men had me all pump up! I'm trying to be fit this winter just like them! The membership prices weren't to bad too. They also have punch cards for a certain amounts of classes too. I'm not going to share all the juice. Cause what you need to do at this very moment. Yes you can do it!!! Go and sign up for their intro class to see what it's all about. Its super worth it! Then you can go from there!!!

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.

The trial period was great, and I really wanted to become a member. The only thing that kept me from joining was .... gas. I live around 30 minutes away from the location and as you already know... making excess drives is not feasible right now. I really like that a person can log themselves to a bag using the Wrap app, keeping a log of their progress per session. It also makes it a lot easier to sign up for a class as well. They are in a very quaint location, but there is limited roadside parking, and you can't park on one side of the building due to it belonging to one of the businesses on the strip. You can park in the location closest to the restaurant that has outdoor seating. Very happy with the upkeep of the restrooms. I'm always going to give a heads up about a bathroom if I go to it, lol. Overall, I would say that you easily burn a minimum of 200 calories, and it is great accountability to stay active.
