My girls are fairly new to the gym, but I have been highly impressed with the Santiago Family and the atmosphere at the gym. From the moment my girls arrived at the gym, all the students made sure to include them in the BJJ family. The cleanliness of the gym is always top notch and the open layout provides a welcoming and comfortable environment, with plenty of seating.

This gym is a great place to train. Family owned and operated, and the entire family is invested! All the students are supportive of one another while still maintaining a level of competitiveness that facilitates constant growth.

What Makes 144 BJJ Different From Other Gyms Near Me?
144 BJJ is local, veteran-owned, and built to serve our community in Dinwiddie. You’re not just a member—you’re part of a close-knit team where everyone knows your name.
We focus on building real connections, delivering high-quality coaching, and creating a judgment-free zone where you’re supported every step of the way. We’re here to help you grow—on and off the mats.
How Often Should I Train Each Week?
If you’re just starting out, training 2–4 times per week is a great place to begin. It gives your body time to recover while still building consistency.
As you adapt, you’ll find a rhythm that works best for your schedule and goals. Just remember: BJJ is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep showing up and you’ll keep getting better.
What Can I Expect in a Typical Class?
Classes run 60 to 90 minutes and are led by experienced, supportive coaches. We begin with a group warm-up to get your body moving, followed by technical instruction or drills with a partner.
You’ll learn new techniques, build muscle memory, and get coaching along the way. Most classes end with live sparring (called "rolling"), where you apply what you’ve learned in real-time.
Expect a great workout, real progress, and a welcoming atmosphere—every time you step on the mat.
