It's why I signed my kid up for Karate. But with leadership, there comes balance in leading without being so power hungry. Some of the talking down to students is not necessary. Expectations to do their best is necessary but some need to work on their delivery to get the level of respect they feel they deserve. To lead you must know when to fallow.

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.

I can confidently say Mike is one of the best instructors I've had the pleasure of training with. He is patient and very thorough in explaining concepts of why techniques work and the details on executing techniques accurately. He is super chill and maintains a welcoming vibe in his gym. I also enjoyed training with his students. They are all very friendly and open to training at whichever level you wish to train. The gym itself is clean and well maintained and conveniently located. I would highly recommend this place to any military personnel stationed in the area!

They are OVER sold and UNDER staffed. The coaching ratio was always atrocious, way outside of usag suggested guidelines. Seems to me they would be in violation of their 501 (c) 3 bylaws. By FORCING team parents to work excessive bingo's or pay a ridiculous rate for a sub, and the owner outwardly threatening to take it out on your kids. If you do not comply. If the IRS would only look into this... With little to no payoff, the distribution of funds is completely unequal with the majority of the budget allotted for only TOPS girls and elite hopefuls. The total budget in itself is a complete joke. I can not even count how many amazing gymnasts and families have left over the last 7 years, So many. If your child is one of the chosen few, they will use and abuse her until she absolutely burned out and fully broken. College is certainly NOT a promise either no matter what you accomplish or do for the "gym". Some have even said they were completely left to their own devices, after spending years training there. That not 1 finger was lifted to get them a scholarship or even a offer. And some of the athletes have been too broken to ever finish college on the gymnastics team. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE!

The membership is a tad pricy, but it is worth it and tracks along with other locations. Your are not locked in for a year, it is month to month. That really helps out. You just have to give them a 30 day notice if you are not going to be around for an entire month. But, don't quote me on that too much as I am still new and not an employee. Parking can be tight. Its all about arriving at the perfect time.
