Been here a little over two years. It’s been a great experience with great coaches. I’ve always felt a warm welcoming atmosphere and culture. Definitely a great place for making great connections and bringing a family together.

Best gym, best vibes, best people. In my 14-ish years of martial arts, I have trained in many places around the US and overseas, and it is virtually unmatched in the sense of balance. It doesn't matter if you are a hobbyist or a professional/ammy fighter -- there will be something for you. Most importantly, you belong. There are no outcasts at One Way. I am privileged to have (accidentally) come across this gym, and I hope to be able to contribute as much as I can to its growth and longevity. :)

This is an outstanding gym. The instruction is truly high-level, the culture is healthy and drama-free, and everyone here genuinely wants each other to succeed. I feel respected, challenged, and supported every single class. There’s a strong team-centered environment where I was welcomed instantly and made part of the group from day one. The coaches push you to grow while still being kind and encouraging, and the teammates match that energy. With my busy, inconsistent work schedule and frequent travel, the schedule here has been a lifesaver. they offer more classes than any gym I’ve seen in the DMV, seven days a week. They also have a female coach who’s a very high-level competitor, plus three women’s classes each week. This gym genuinely prioritizes helping women grow and making sure we have safe, technical rounds with people we trust. I’m grateful to be part of this team, to learn from world-class instructors, and I’m proud to call this my home gym. Thank you One Way for everything

My One Way Journey started when I got a referral from my former coach and I could not have been blessed with a better situation. First impression of the gym was incredible. The design is clean and the layout is inviting. Next we’re the Coaches: Mahamed, Patrick, Pedro, and Jansey and new coach Gio are world class (literally) and very knowledgeable. I have learned more here than any school I’ve been to (4 total) and my game has grown a lot. The community is also very welcoming and more importantly competitive. The competitive aspect of this school is contagious. The last thing I will leave you with is if you are a parent and considering doing this for yourself or if you have a kid(s) get involved, sign up and make it an family event. I’ve seen plenty of the kids classes and they are learning how to be kids with discipline and respect for others. I have a kid right now and cannot wait until he can train under One Way. See you next class.

Always wanted to try jiu jitsu, but felt like I “didn’t have time” or I was “too out of shape”. Saw that one way martial arts offers a free first class on an instagram ad and thought why not give it a try. From day one I felt like I was at home. Everybody is so nice and happy to see you and help you grow. Such a positive atmosphere. I also always see the kids classes ending when I arrive for the adult classes, and if I had a kid they would 1000% be coming to one way. The coaches are so good at what they do, literally some of the best in the world. I went from that “im too out of shape” mentality, to now 4 months later im in the best shape of my life both physically and mentally. Love it here can’t recommend it enough.

Amazing. I love to compete in jiu jitsu and the coaches 100% have my back. Last year I flew out to Vegas to compete not once, but twice and coaches made the trip with me both times. They really have your back!

Joining One Way Martial Arts has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting, and my mental health has improved so much thanks to the training and the supportive environment. I’ve also noticed huge physical benefits. My breathing has improved on my runs, and I feel lighter and more flexible overall. The gym is truly a safe space with no outside stress. The instructors are always encouraging, communicative, and genuinely invested in helping everyone grow.

I have been training at one way martial arts for alittle over 3 months now and lost 30LB. And for years I always said I will do jiu jitsu, but never actually stepped into a gym. I gave excuses, “I’m to busy”, “I need to spend my free time with my family”, “it’s to expensive”. How ever once I saw Mohammad Aly’s add and it said the first day was free I told my self okay I will try it out for fun. I won’t lie I was scared because who isn’t entering a new gym, all eyes on m, the fresh meat mentality. How ever! Everyone there made me feel welcomed, like if they actually was happy to see me. Sean was at the front desk and you can tell his passion for the sport and the gym instantly, and he was so welcoming and supportive. There is no pressure to join but yet you already know you will want to. In these photos is the first day after coming back from practice and then 3 months later. I feel so much better I feel more calm. I am not as angry anymore and other say the same when I tell them. And now I am doing something I never thought I would do and it’s to complete in a tournament! If you’re thinking about joining. Just try it out. Like I said if it’s free it’s for me and the first class is always free!

I’ve been training consistently for a little over a year now with One Way. The gym has become a second family for me, especially since my wife and daughter also train there. I look forward to training as often as possible and it still blows my mind how so many high quality coaches can all be at one gym and also all be so humble and welcoming. There are many gyms in the area and a few are located closer to my home but me and my family chose One Way and are very happy with our choice.
