What Leesburg Locals Are Saying...

Melisa Trujillo recommends Mastery Jiu-Jitsu

Since the first time I walked into the academy, I realized it’s not just a place to learn self-defense techniques. It’s a true community where everyone treats each other like family. That’s the main reason my husband and I decided to enroll our older son. He really enjoys his classes, and we love how patient and professional the instructors are with the kids. We hope to continue coming and look forward to bringing our younger son soon as well!

Absolutely recommend Mastery Jiu-Jitsu to any parent looking for a supportive and professional environment. ☺️

We can't say enough about Mastery Jiu-Jitsu. Mr Marco and his team of instructors are complete professionals and amazing teachers! Our kids have learned so much not only about jiu-jitsu itself, but also life skills and values. The instructors all know every single student's name, and I think that speaks to how much they care about what they do and those they are teaching. The new facility is awesome as well - lots of space, very modern, very clean and safe. We highly recommend Mastery Jiu-Jitsu!

Noelle Hyde recommends Mastery Jiu-Jitsu

I started training here in 2019. Right away I felt welcomed into the community. I came for the self-defense and stayed for the love of the art. My kids train now too and always have so much fun. The summer camps and game days are a highlight for them. You won’t find better instructors anywhere else.

Mastery is great Gracie BJJ school. My son and I began training there in the summer of 2023 and have really enjoyed our time. The school was the perfect fit for my son, who is not competition minded. Marco and the other black belts do a great job engaging the students, no matter their skill level. We both enjoy the emphasis on conflict de-escalation and defensive jiu-jitsu! Marco keeps it true to the Gracie model and mindset!

Christopher Perez recommends Mastery Jiu-Jitsu

Rarely post reviews, but after joining Mastery as an adult along with my two sons, our expectations have been exceeded time and again by Marco, Jay and the rest of the Mastery team. They provide a welcoming, yet challenging curriculum and training atmosphere in a clean environment. The 3 free classes provides a great way to try the gym out without any commitments or pressure which really helps you make the decision of joining on your own terms. Keep up the great work Mastery!

Got Questions? We Got Answers

What if I’m not athletic — or my child isn’t? Can we still do Jiu-Jitsu?

Absolutely! Jiu-Jitsu was designed specifically to help smaller, less athletic individuals defend themselves. Many of our most confident and capable students started with little to no physical ability. We meet each student where they are and help them grow at their own pace.

Is your academy focused more on competition or self-defense?

Our core focus is self-defense and personal growth, especially for kids and beginners. While students can choose to compete, it’s not a requirement. We care more about building confidence, resilience, and character than collecting medals.

How is Mastery Jiu-Jitsu different from other Martial Arts/Jiu-Jitsu schools?

We’re a family-owned, community-driven school with deep roots in traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Unlike other gyms, we don’t train with a “win at all costs” mindset — we teach with care, values, and respect. Our goal isn’t just to create athletes for competition but to help everyday people become the best versions of themselves through the practice of Jiu-Jitsu.

What values do you teach through Jiu-Jitsu?

We believe that practicing Jiu-Jitsu without a foundation of values is empty — and even potentially harmful. That’s why, alongside self-defense, we teach responsibility, courage, self-confidence, discipline, respect, leadership, teamwork, resilience, integrity, among others. These values help both kids and adults grow stronger not just on the mats, but in everyday life — at school, at work, and at home.

Do you offer programs for the whole family ?

Yes! We offer classes for kids, teens, and adults, including a class for homeschoolers, parent-child sessions, and women-only classes. Many families train together, and our schedule makes it easy for everyone to find their place on the mat.

What is the risk of injuries doing Jiu-Jitsu?

Safety is one of our top priorities. Our instructors create a controlled, respectful environment where technique is always emphasized over strength. Students learn how to train smart, listen to their bodies, and look out for their training partners. While no physical activity is completely risk-free, we do everything possible to minimize the chance of injury.
