Trainers near Mount Vernon

“This gym has been my home base for Jiu-Jitsu for many years. Life eventually took my journey in a different direction, but no matter where I train, this place will always feel like home.
Professor DAVE LASHLEY built something truly special. His technical knowledge, passion for teaching, and ability to make killers out of ordinary people (the friendly kind, of course) are the foundation of what made this gym such a respected place to train. If you’ve ever wondered why everyone here seems impossible to sweep… you can probably thank Dave.
Ian has done an outstanding job carrying on his father’s legacy. He’s worked hard to preserve everything that made this gym great while adding his own creativity and “get-it-done” attitude. The future of this academy is in good hands.
The kids’ program is excellent, the instruction is professional, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Whether you’re looking to compete, learn self-defense, get in shape, or just discover muscles you didn’t know could be sore, this is the place.
I highly recommend this gym. Fair warning, though… you’ll come in thinking you’re in shape, then a 140-pound blue belt will politely rearrange your understanding of physics. And somehow… you’ll leave smiling and excited to come back.“

“Hands down best in the biz! Sarah is extremely knowledgable in her craft and is a great person to work with. If you’re looking for a way to be healthy (both mentally and physically) as well as connect with a great group of peers then this is your place. I’ve absolutely loved my time here.“
