I’m down in the Fort Belvoir area for work for a week and a half. Ervin has been extremely accommodating, there is a great atmosphere. You can drill/spar as hard or slow as you’d like. All around amazing experience. Thank you Sir a million times for giving me a place to keep moving before my competition. Already looking for an excuse to come back down here to get on your mats!

Reviews
I was in town and checked out this gym’s open mat. Great rolls and great people!
I dropped into Testudo today to attend the afternoon nogi class while i'm in town for vacation. It was great getting to roll with Ervin and his students. He runs a great gym with an excellent, welcoming culture. Thank you for having me today and I can't recommend this gym enough for anyone looking to get into Jiu Jitsu!
