NOMAD Jiu-Jitsu




ABOUT US
We are a martial arts academy offering adult and kids classes located within the Crosswhite Athletic Facility in Lynchburg, Virginia. We specialize in grappling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but our instructors have a broad range of knowledge and experience in self-defense and fitness training. Our students are diverse in their goals and backgrounds. We have active BJJ competitors, those looking to learn how to defend themselves as well as those who primarily just want a fun way to get in or stay in shape. In addition to our dojo, the Crosswhite facility boasts both indoor and outdoor gym space, large pool, and tennis courts.
