Centreville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Welcome to Centreville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
In my thirty plus years of practicing martial arts, I’ve noticed a common theme: “I’ve always wanted to try a martial art”. Yet so few appear to do so. We at Centreville BJJ believe this is in part due to the mystique and intimidation of the martial arts.

I have had the absolute pleasure of training “WITH” and “UNDER” several Great Martial Arts Masters over the years, including 7 Time World Karate Champion & Creator of Tae Bo, Billy Blanks, The Legendary Guro Dan Inosanto and undefeated World Kickboxing Champion Pete “Sugarfoot” Cunningham, to name a few.
