Absolutely. The 4-Week Jumpstart includes your uniform (Gi and belt) or gloves, and four weeks of BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing and Wrestling. No prior experience is required and our coaches guide every student step-by-step.
-
Yes. At One Way, self-defense is taught through our regular programs instead of a one-off seminar. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches you to stay calm, control distance, defend yourself on the ground and escape from someone bigger or stronger, and you practice it against a live, resisting partner in every class. Muay Thai and Boxing cover the standing side, and Kids BJJ teaches children to protect themselves without striking. See our self-defense classes in Alexandria for adults, women and kids. Every program is open to a free first class.
-
Yes. One Way Martial Arts is a family-owned academy. Active-duty military, veterans, law enforcement officers, and teachers at Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) and Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), along with their families, receive a special membership discount. We also offer family discounts so parents, kids and siblings can train together. Ask at the front desk or when you sign up for your free first class.
