Our academy is a true community, dedicated to teaching the art of BJJ in a welcoming, supportive, and highly effective environment. BJJ is often referred to as "human chess" due to its strategic and problem-solving nature, and at Top Game, we embrace this philosophy.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It emphasizes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger opponent by using proper technique, leverage, and body mechanics. This makes BJJ an incredibly practical and empowering form of self-defense. At Top Game Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we teach a comprehensive curriculum that covers all aspects of the art, from fundamental techniques and positions to advanced submissions and escapes. We believe that BJJ has the power to improve every aspect of a person's life, from physical fitness and confidence to mental resilience and stress relief.

At Top Game Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we offer a wide range of services and classes tailored to meet the needs of every student, from children to adults and from beginners to advanced practitioners.

• Adult BJJ Classes: Our core program focuses on teaching the fundamentals and advanced techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Classes include warm-ups, technical instruction, drilling, and live sparring (rolling). Whether your goal is to compete, learn self-defense, or simply get in shape, our adult classes provide a comprehensive and challenging workout. We offer classes throughout the day and in the evenings to accommodate diverse schedules.

• Kids BJJ Classes: We offer dedicated kids' classes designed to teach BJJ in a fun and safe environment. Our instructors are patient and skilled at teaching fundamentals of both jiu-jitsu and important life lessons such as discipline, focus, and respect. As one parent noted in a review, our team does a "great job being patient with the kids and teaching them fundamentals in jiu jitsu and life." These classes are an excellent way for children to build confidence, improve coordination, and develop a positive attitude.

• Open Mat: For students who want to get in extra practice, we offer open mat sessions. This is a time for students to come in, drill techniques, and roll with their teammates in a less structured format. It’s an invaluable opportunity to hone your skills and get extra work in with your training partners. Our open mat sessions are a reflection of the dedication and communal spirit that defines our gym.

• Self-Defense and MMA Training: While BJJ is a highly effective self-defense system in itself, we also incorporate broader self-defense principles into our training. Additionally, for those interested in mixed martial arts, our grappling-focused curriculum provides a strong foundation for MMA training. The skills learned here are directly applicable to real-world self-defense situations and competition, making our training incredibly practical.

• Submission Grappling: In addition to our Gi (traditional uniform) BJJ classes, we also offer training in submission grappling, or no-gi BJJ. This style of grappling focuses on techniques without the use of the gi, which is a valuable skill for self-defense and MMA, and for those who simply prefer training without the traditional uniform.

Top Game Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is distinguished by several key features that make it the preferred choice for BJJ practitioners in Richmond and beyond.

• Supportive Community: The culture at Top Game is one of its greatest strengths. We foster a community that is welcoming and uplifting, where everyone supports each other's progress. Newcomers are made to feel at home immediately. As a student wrote, "Chris is a great instructor who makes the newcomers feel welcomed. Not to mention the great community here that uplifts and supports each other..." This environment makes training not just productive, but genuinely enjoyable.
