Who We Are
About
Dreadnought Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a place for everyone who wants to train Jiu-Jitsu. When you come through our doors, we make sure to help you accomplish YOUR goals rather than pushing anything on you. We are an academy, not a gym. You will learn more than Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense skills with us. The life-skills you’ll gain, including confidence, social skills, working through anxiety, and fighting abuse will transcend off the mat. The work we put in is more than just grapples and moves. We have built and are continuing to grow our supportive community that cares for each other. We invite you to add to our community and see what we can do for you!
History
Dreadnought Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu celebrated our 10-year anniversary in January 2025. Owner and head professor Virgil Allen opened our doors in 2015 when he was a blue belt. Since then, we have grown a strong community that now sports one of the best competitive teams around. Virgil, a retired military service member, started Dreadnought after learning there weren’t any schools in the area. He spent his entire military career training and instructing in hand-to-hand Jiu-Jitsu. He knew that if he could train soldiers in the military, he would definitely be able to train anyone else. In his time Virgil learned the importance of passing down the lessons of Jiu-Jitsu, and continues that every day at Dreadnought.
