Team Mannon BJJ

Nov 2025

I had the chance to visit for an open mat, and I honestly couldn’t have had a better experience. The gym is full of incredibly talented athletes who compete at a very high level, but just as importantly, they’re genuinely good, respectful, and classy people.

Coach Tim, the head coach and owner, is a walking legend. He learned directly from some of the greatest in the sport, including John Danaher and Renzo Gracie. I’m truly grateful he welcomed me into his gym and gave me the opportunity to train alongside such a high-level team.

As a higher belt and someone over 50, I often have concerns about dropping into a school. Will they pair me with a competitive purple belt or a collegiate wrestler with only a white belt? Fortunately, this did not occur, and I was lucky enough to find both on my own. Tim and his instructors were excellent and made me feel at home, while the other students were very welcoming. If you are in the Blacksburg area, I highly recommend checking out the school. I can not say enough good things about the quality of the Jiu Jitsu and the overall atmosphere.
