As someone who has trained at many different schools and who runs a gym themselves, I can say with the utmost confidence: Team Passos provides one of the highest quality training experiences you will have in your lifetime.The way they are able to breakdown even the most complex techniques into simple, digestible steps is incredibly impressive. But what is most impressive is how they are able to include the explanation of important nuances and details in the technique without making it too overwhelming to comprehend and execute. This high quality of teaching remains consistent no matter who is instructing or the difficulty level of the class. It is truly a testament to their commitment to excellence.But where Team Passos truly shines is in their commitment to excellence off the mats. All the staff take the time and effort to learn the names of all the students at the academy. They make it a point to personally greet everyone who comes in for training. Unlike many other facilities, there will never be a day where you come in for training and go unnoticed. Whether you’re receiving coaching in class or stopped on your way out to be asked about your day, Team Passos is committed to building the relationship between them and their students; making sure that everyone is recognized and honored for being the unique individual they are. Beyond that, Team Passos regularly conducts community events and charitable activities to further their impact in the lives of their students beyond the mats.This culture of excellence, acceptance, and community that Team Passos has worked hard to create is reflected in the people who train there as well. The academy is filled with friendly and welcoming members; who will go out of their way to introduce themselves, work with you, and match your skill level and intensity when training. It is a fun and challenging environment, no matter who are and where you are at in your training.I strongly recommend anyone to take a class at Team Passos. Experiencing the culture they have created, both on and off the mats, will be one of the best memories you’ll carry with you for the rest of your BJJ journey. Whether it is your first time putting on a Gi or if you are a seasoned Black Belt; you’ll quickly see why Team Passos is one of the best academies out there.

Awesome martial arts studio! The instructors are professional and patient with the students, and I see my child’s progress after every session. I cannot recommend Passos highly enough.

I signed up for a free trial at team Passos yesterday. This was my first time trying jiu-jitsu and I am happy to share that I had an awesome experience. Everyone in the gym was kind and welcoming. Jason was gracious with his time answering all of my questions. Professor Josh, professor Paul, and coach Rob took extra time explaining technical details to me.The students were also helpful explaining positions and did not go hard on me. Conditioning is part of the class so you will get a good workout.

It was a great experience visiting the academy last night. It’s fully accessible for wheelchairs with lots of open space to get around. The level of Jiu jitsu is top shelf and the hospitality was just as inviting as the academy.I will be back again!

We started out with 2 of our kiddos in JJ here at Team Passos and within a year our youngest asked to join. We have had such a fantastic experience at this studio for the last year and a half and see such a joy in our kids as they learn and improve their skills. The coaches are extremely invested in getting to know each student and their personalities/strengths/growth areas. There’s no coddling, but the kids learn discipline in an uplifting way. I can’t say enough about this studio- the culture, each of the coaches, and the methodology are all so needed in all kids. Mine have become more confident and compassionate from being around their role models here. So grateful for the dedication of these coaches, but a special nod to coach Josh for his passion with kids!

I had an incredible time at the all women's training on 2/3/24! The facilities are impeccably clean, the staff and the students were welcoming, and the coaches were skilled professionals. If you are looking for a BJJ gym....... THIS IS IT. Hands down this is the best in the area.

I’ve been training at Team Passo for a couple months and the training has been great. All of the instructors are great and very helpful when it comes to learning techniques. I would highly recommend Team Passo as a place to start your jiu jitsu training.

I have been attending Team Passos for little over a month now and the academy has been treating me like family since day one. Professors and coaches are all phenomenal and very attentive to each individual in the class to correct any mistakes that we are doing. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in BJJ to try out a class at Team Passos! First class is free!

When I moved to the Herndon/Sterling area, I went to five different BJJ gyms to see which one I wanted to train at. Team Passos BJJ was by far the best of the five that I visited.I have now been training here for just over six months and am glad that I picked Team Passos to embark on my BJJ journey. The instruction is top notch. All of the staff are very friendly and approachable. Classes are a good mix of conditioning, technique drilling, and live sparring. Instruction is very clear. I can see my skill level progressing. The atmosphere at the gym makes it very easy to stay motivated to maintain consistent attendance.I would recommend this gym to anybody regardless of experience level, size, or age. It is a very diverse gym and easy to feel comfortable.
