The Academy

History and Mission

In December 2014, Jeff Buettner and Bob Gibson opened the Winchester JiuJitsu Academy – a family focused environment for the greater Winchester area to learn Brazilian JiuJitsu. Since then, the school has continued to evolve by incorporating Muay Thai Kickboxing, NoGi Brazilian JiuJitsu, multiple Brazilian JiuJitsu classes, and an engaging Youth Curriculum so that a variety of martial arts programs are available for all experience levels.

Our mission is to create a martial arts curriculum that challenges our members both mentally and physically. To accomplish this, we work closely with each individual member and customize curriculum to meet each of their unique needs, so that they can reach their peak physical fitness and personal goals. We create a positive and fun learning environment that combines expert instruction with interactive training techniques – no two classes are the same! Your growth and development is our passion.

The Winchester JiuJitsu Academy is an affiliate school of Professor Tony Passos, based out of Ashburn Virginia.

I signed up for the 7 day free trial last Wednesday. Im 39yrs old and have never taken a martial arts class before. The very next day I signed up for a one year membership. I left that first day exhausted but the entire experience was amazing. Well structured, organized and most all, welcoming. Coach Bob takes the time to answer all questions and is an excellent teacher. The more experienced students are great and extremely helpful as well. It is an honor to train with these guys and gals!

This school has a terrific program for kids that offers so much to developing and learning JiuJitsu techniques, the physical exercise, building character and doing it so they have fun all at the same time. The instructors do a great job with the boys and girls as a group and you see they try and spend one on one time with each of them as well. My son has been taking classes for several months now and enjoys it.

Jiu Jitsu changed my life. When I started jiu jitsu while living in Georgia, I was 240 lbs and totally apathetic about changing my diet or having any fitness goals. I found a gym near my home and began attending classes. Shortly after moving to the area here I began visiting various JiuJitsu gyms. I can say without question that the Winchester JiuJitsu Academy is by far the best. The facilities are amazing, the coaches are fantastic, and the camaraderie is awesome. In the year and a half I've been at WJJA I've lost 60 lbs, but I've gained many friends and have a totally different outlook on life. I wholeheartedly endorse the Winchester JiuJitsu Academy and would highly encourage anyone who is looking to change or start their fitness routine to come on by.
