Anyone from the DC area

Hello all, I am looking to see if anyone has information on Jui-Jitsu or similar fighting style schools in the DC area. I am currently looking at school in Alexandria, VA but would like to find one closer to Arlington or Tysons. Thanks in advance.

You're probably looking at Yamasaki Academy, right?

Anyway, that's your best bet for BJJ. There are 2 other options, Mi-Ki-Do (also Alexandria and MD), and Miguella (also in MD).

Yeah I was looking at Yamasaki Academy, but I have found anohter one that is in Alexandria you can check it out at www.gracieva.com I am assuming it is decent b/c it is a Gracie school and he teaches seminars there every so often. I did look into the Yamasaki Acadamy but they wanted a lot of money for it, somethimg like 150$ a month. I know that isn't crazy, but I am already paying my gym memebership and am only looking to train 2 days a week there. Let me know what you think of it.

Wow, man. It looks like that place took off in the past year or so.

When I looked at them 1-2 years ago, they didn't even have a steady gym and it was mostly a couple of people getting together on their own schedule..

I might have to try this place out!
