Grappling in Ashburn, VA

Grappling at Apex Ashburn brings No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, judo, and open mat onto one schedule. The jiu-jitsu program teaches leverage, ground control, escapes, and submissions through structured classes for every experience level. Adults can begin in a dedicated Beginners No-Gi Grappling class, then progress into the wider No-Gi schedule. Kids, youth, and teens train in age-grouped classes that build confidence, discipline, and practical self-defense skills. Wrestling adds takedowns, scrambles, hand fighting, and mat control. Its four tracks serve beginner and advanced youth wrestlers, high school athletes, and adults, with folkstyle during the school season and freestyle and Greco-Roman work in the off-season. The all-ages judo class gives parents and kids a place to learn throws, breakfalls, grips, and pins together, although trials for that class are currently paused. Members can also use weekend Open Mat for drilling, positional rounds, or optional live rolling. Across the grappling schedule, coaches teach technique before intensity, and competition remains a choice rather than a requirement.
