Kiddo needed a confidence boost after adjusting to middle school and the bullies that come with it. He's loving it here β™₯️

Professor Taylor is one of the sickest competitors out there and has a great understanding of every aspect of grappling. She puts the 757 on her back every performance and runs an awesome training session. Her brother and fellow black belt Samson is drippy as hell and can blitz past your guard as if you’ve never trained before.

Not to mention Mark is one of the OG’s of 757 bjj. He’s seen every move twice and can inflict pain (emotional and physical) like no other.

Sick spot, sick squad, sick playlist. 🦾🦾🦾

Dropped in on travel for work and had a great class led by coach Taylor and had some great rolls with the rest of the crew. Thank you for the work and hospitality!

I have visited this gym during two different vacations in Norfolk and had great experiences each time. The first time, Taylor was the instructor and the second time, Samson. My husband and I were extremely welcomed and I can’t say enough good things about these folks. Both siblings are very knowledgeable and have been training since early childhood. There is a family-like culture in the gym, yet it is very hospitable to guests. While we were in town, Liz Carmouche happened to be visiting, so we even got in some rolls with her! Goes to show the level of training that is offered there if even a UFC fighter is choosing to drop in. We had an excellent time and this is pretty much our go-to place if we’re ever in the area now. Highly recommend it over all the other gyms in Norfolk.

Awesome place! I haven't had an opportunity to take all the classes but I have been able to enjoy the noon nogi jiu jitsu classes. Taylor Sausser puts on my favorite classes in Virginia! I love the competitive twist she puts on everything and the adaption of scenarios for jiu jitsu! It's an absolute must if you're in the area.

I could not imagine a better place for my son to train. They are the only place that I have found that offers training 5 days a week.

Best Gym in town. The owners are super down to earth, and make the community better. I've never met coaches that care about their students as much as Taylor and her father Mark do. If you truly want to learn self defense or develop skills you want to improve on, this is absolutely the gym you should choose. If I could give them 10 stats I would

By far one of the best decisions I made was to enroll my daughter in training here. She has not only made new friends who have become more like family, but she has begun to learn that she is capable of much more than she thinks is even possible.

This Academy is an excellent choice if you are looking for a family friendly environment and their reputation in the local Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community is impeccable. Much respect to Coach Mark, Coach Samson, Coach Taylor, Coach Chris, and all others who work to make this experience so rich and rewarding for all who attend.

Mark, Taylor and Samson are incredible teachers to my child. They teach Respect, Honor and dignity. Jui Jitsu teaches core values as well as defense. A lot of self respect and confidence is what my child has received by coming here over the last couple of years. I would recommend this place for you or your child. Children and Adults are welcome to train, they do tournament if you are interested in competition or just train. What a great family

My 12 year old son has just recently started Jiu Jitsu here but everyone is so welcoming from the start. I love the approach and one on one teaching they do throughout the classes. They take the time to work one on one with all of the students as they go around and see what needs to be worked on. My son loves going and I like to see his sense of accomplishment.
