Cliffnotes - Top tier gym in the DMV - Knowledgeable and skilled coaches who take the time to help you develop - Great environment where you're welcomed if you're willing to work hard - classes at all hours - HAS SHOWERS/Gym Equipment I've been at High Noon since it first started (going onto 6 years now) and only left briefly when I had to move to a different city. I'm back here again since I'm in Nova and it feels the same even though the gym has grown immensely (in terms of members and size). It even has showers now!!! This is an insane perk for a gym. In addition, there is a power rack, barbell, air bike, and some other equipment I can't think of. So not only can you train bjj, but you can also become a unit like the head coach (Tim). Ample mat space too- 2 levels. Open mat is on the first ground level and since there are 2 levels, there are concurrent classes running often at times. Regarding the coaches at High Noon, they are knowledgeable and take their time to help anyone that is willing to put in the work- before class, during, and after class. After open mat you'll probably see me and other people working through some stuff with either Tim (owner and head coach) and any of the other coaches like Tyler or Nate. When I say they care about your development, I mean it as long as you're willing to put in the work. A good environment is predicated on the leadership at the top, and this is absolutely true at High Noon and exemplified in the students. There are a range of classes from nogi, wrestling, gi, and etc. The training is based on intelligent programming and predicated on latest science on skill acquisition. You won't see people wasting their time going through step by step methods of teaching/learning like you did in the past. I.E. "So you do this when he does this. Now I want you guys to drill that 5 times and switch." However About the people, everyone is super welcoming and Friedly here. I can't say I've had a bad training partner here. If I did, they probably didn't stay long and left since the gym naturally weeds out people that are toxic. Training partners at High Noon are receptive to feedback and you'll always get good training in whenever you come in for a class or open mat. All affiliations are welcome at the open mat by the way which gives you a chance to roll with other people (most gyms from what I'm aware aren't this inviting- some are afraid of their members getting outclassed for example). I'm an average guy in his early 30s, but I honestly believe most of grappling development (Based on comments wherever I go to train- i.e. Japan, Portugal, around the US) has been because of Tim, Tyler, Nate, and Matt. From a legend in the sport of mma (known for his grappling) and also bjj- comment about me (Pic included) "Brian very technical and fun to practice thank you Thanks for the roll oss."

High Noon Judo was awesome. Very nice people and welcoming. The instruction was great and I learned a lot. Very clean dojo and easy to find. I highly recommend trying it out if you have a chance. Judo was awesome

Phenomenal facility, amazing and supportive coaches, and friendliest members I've ever met at a gym. I've tried out a bunch of places and this is one of my top favorites. I originally only came for the open mat (highly recommend) but realized this was the only place I wanted to train. I live across the street from another gym but commute 20-30 min just to train here. Athletes and coaches are serious and competitive while still being so friendly and welcoming to beginners and part-time hobbyists. I wish I had found this place sooner.

The place to train in the Arlington area. Been doing BJJ and martial arts about 18 years and every time I am in town and can come by I try to drop in. Great for the black belt competitor all the way down to the brand new first day student. The classes are filled with friendly outgoing students and you are always made to feel part of the family. Cant recommend Tim and his gym enough.
