Why Disciple
A gym that acts like a family.
Come for the training, stay for the room. People here look after each other on the mat and off it.
Diverse training programs
Multiple disciplines under one roof.
Expert coaches
Decades of combined experience. We still train with the people we coach.
Every level on the mat
From your first class to the fight team, everyone trains in the same room. You’ll always have someone to push you.
A facility built for it
Modern equipment and spacious mats in the heart of Northern Virginia, minutes from Ashburn, Leesburg and Dulles.
New here
Your first month, step by step.
Signing up takes a couple of minutes. Here is what happens after that.
Sign up
The 30-day trial is $99 and covers every discipline we teach. Pay online and you are on the mat at the next class. Prefer to talk first? Give us a ring.
Your first session
Turn up fifteen minutes early in athletic attire. Shoes off at the mat edge. A coach will introduce themselves and put you with a partner who knows it is your first day.
Then keep training
A month is long enough to sample every discipline we teach and work out which nights suit you. When it ends, we’ll work with you to find the membership that suits you best.

Our network
Disciple Affiliates
Two sides of the same family — our academy network, and the jiu-jitsu program that trains here at the Sterling HQ.
30-day trial
Give it thirty days.
One payment, a full month of classes. Long enough to learn the warm-up, meet the room and find the class you keep coming back to.
