Manassas Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has the area’s original and longest standing BJJ program. Led by Head Coach and Third Degree BJJ Black Belt Douglas Esposito, we have been training people just like you in our current location for over fifteen years.
We have the area’s only dedicated no-gi program for those who want to train for the fast moving sport of submission wrestling. Led by BJJ Black Belts and grappling champions Christian Banghart and Michael Kastroba this program is designed to take you from beginner to advanced.
I’ve been to several BJJ gyms and Vanguard is the mostly friendly place I have ever trained. If you are hesitant about checking it out, don’t be. I had an 11 year break in training and was uneasy about getting started again. The coaches and team mates were super supportive right from the beginning and Jiu Jitsu has become a lifestyle again. Vanguard is a great place to train and learn and everyone is super respectful. Highly recommended.
