Loves all of my coaches here. Best place for jiu-jitsu and striking in the the area.The one thing that makes me reconsider relocating out of Virginia is this gym. Will keep training here for as long as I can.

Great place to train. Both bjj and striking program is awesome and taught by great instructors. Everyone is super friendly and the school has a very accommodating schedule

Great trainers... Great training partners... Great support. Beautiful place to learn jujitsu. Thank you everyone.

A Clean, Well-Lighted Place-Friendly Atmosphere-World Class Instruction (For All Levels of Development)-Clean and Spacious Grappling AreaYoull choke and be choked, get a great workout and a new perspective on life.

I trained there back when i lived in the states... its hard being a BJJ black belt and still get expert instruction.. Jen Hall was my instructor back in 2016 and boy do i miss her experience.. living in Switzerland now i find it hard to train at an elite level. Do yourself a favor and join this place it can change/Safe your life...

I used to train at Fifty/50 when I lived in the DC area. The instruction was excellent. It’s one of the best BJJ schools in the area. They do a great job teaching fundamentals so you will have a solid base as you progress. The one thing anyone should know going in is it isn’t a school for people who don’t have “thick skin.” Instructors are genuinely encouraging, but they can also be a bit heavy handed/savage if you do something stupid (e.g. unsafe rolling). Ultimately, I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to go in with an open mind, good attitude, and “no quit” mentality.

I do not recommend this gym...- dirty mats and bathrooms that are never clean, even though they claim to clean them daily.- the owner, Ryan, is rude and unprofessional, he clearly gives preference to certain students.- limited parking space, so good luck finding a spot.

Phenomenal training environment with great, friendly people.

Great environment both for professional athletes, hobbyists and families. Really focused technique, friendly vibes and heel hooks.

Bad Experience. This gym has a culture of hard work and training which is good for people who want to reach an extremely high level and maybe make this a career. My goals are to get in shape, learn moves, and enjoy training in between managing my career. This is not the gym for me. I dont think its appropriate to publically call out a student on their first day for sitting out a round 10 minutes into rolling. Glad I tried a class before paying.

Great academy! One of the best on the East Coast. My son and I have been training their for for eight months and the training/learning is awesome. The academy is very family oriented and has an outstanding after school program for the kids, plus a summer camp for them as well. Fifty/50 goes above and beyond to ensure all their students are well trained in BJJ by world class professionals!

Huge mat....even nicer people. The best part about this place is that they have segmented their beginner class - you have a Fundamentals one for people with less than 6 months of experience that is taught by Quinn (an awesome black belt) - then you have fundamentals 2 taught by Jenn (or one of the other black belts) that teaches white belts with more than 6 months of experience. Then you have the rest of the classes. This place is great - cant wait to come back when I get off the road

I started going to Fifty/50 on January 2016 and it has completely changed my life. I had no prior grappling or martial arts experience and started out in their Fundamentals 1 Class. After about a year of dedicated training, I am now attending their Advanced classes. All of the instructors, Jen Hall, Quinn Mulhern, and of course Ryan Hall, are world class black belt instructors. I also owe a lot of my growth to my training partners who are super helpful in demonstrating proper technique and overall guidance.

This is an amazing place to learn BJJ. Great for kids too. Good group of people who quickly learn your name and great every visit.

I dropped in for open mat while visiting the area, and wow, fantastic bunch of technicians. Great training experience!

Absolutely phenomenal place to train!!I am a 2X No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt World Champion and have been practicing jiu-jitsu for 21 years, and I visit 50/50 Martial Arts often and continue to learn!!Ryan Hall, Jen Hall, and the entire staff of instructors are some of the best in the world, and not only that, they are fantastic teachers!! I have never once visited and left feeling I took nothing away. I have improved with each visit!!And to top it all off, everyone is super friendly and welcoming, and they truly have a fantastic family environment that helps build and promote all who are there while still keeping that old school mentality which is so important!!Clean academy, amazing instructors, fantastic written curriculum to follow, and a great group of people who will make you feel like family!!I could not recommend 50/50 Martial Arts academy enough!!If you live in Virginia, this is 100% the place to train!!

Expert instruction. What else would you want? Maybe some killer training partners? Well that have that too! Go train there!

Highly skilled coaches who are very detail oriented, students who are very courteous and fun to train with. I would highly recommend Fifty/50 martial arts academy.

Stopped by to try a class as my coworker had trained here before. Excellent jiu jitsu training. The only issue, the mats were not clean, so my recommendation, please vacuum and clean your mats.

Great instruction, clean facilities, I was treated very well as a visitor. If youre thinking about trying jiu-jitsu or MMA, start today!

I have been a martial artist all my life and have some family members that have competed at the Olympic and professional level. I have coached many fighters at the amateur and professional level. Some of the people I coached have fought in the UFC. I say all to give more weight to the following:What separates 50/50 MAA is not the location, the space, not the techniques, nor the mascot / guardian of the gates (Leeloo). It is the presentation of the concepts that are the pillars of martial arts. They cross disciplines and without them being GIVEN some people will never get it. All schools can teach a triangle, how to hold somebody in cross side, etc but the concepts of why these things work allow you to develop outside of what you are taught and create new ways of doing things. 50/50 gives you the tools to not just be a student of martial arts but to become a scientist and innovator of the art.All schools can give you and Elementary school education, most can give you an education through high school. Come to 50/50 if you want you PhD and beyond.

Best BJJ dojo in town! Top notch instructors, very friendly and large class with varied levels of expertise.

Full time academy means theres always a class to fit your schedule. Elite instruction and coaching at 50/50 BJJ has given me the skill and confidence to defend myself when necessary.

50/50 is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school which my daughter briefly attended during summer 2015. The kids program is simply amazing. If youre looking for a school with great instructors who are able to able to make the class a fun and enjoyable session then 50/50 hits the mark. With a pedigree coming from Ryan Hall, one the most accomplished jiu-jitsu practitioners in the country, you can be assured that the instructors are passing on high level jiu-jitsu for competition and self-defense. My daughter absolutely loved it here and she misses the good friends she made. Thank you Maia, Ryan and all the 50/50 team for everything you taught Dasha. Were very grateful!!!!

Ryan and Jen run a great martial arts dojo!

Well run academy with great instructors.

Professionally run, friendly staff.

Best jiujitsu instruction in the area.

Schedule is not correct, staff shows up late to open and sometimes not at all to scheduled classes.

We had poor experiences. Poor instructor.

Great school

Ryan hall ftw.
