Eaton Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Dropped in on the gym while visiting family over the holiday. Very great culture that they have fostered and super welcoming to folks from out of town. Really great students that take you under their wing immediately and make sure that you understand what is going on and make sure you understand the way their gym does things. 100% will drop in on this gym again when I come back to visit family in the future! Professor Eaton was very attentive even to me as a drop in to make sure I understood his instruction. 🤙 - Oss -🤙

We have three kids at this location two girls and a boy. Our oldest has loved the close attention of the womens class, the competitive nature of the advance kids class and and intense team competition classes. Our other two children have enjoyed the kids classes and progressing and loving the classes and coaches. We are happy we found this place for our kids they have fallen in love with the sport and team.

Top-notch jiu-jitsu and instructors with a team-oriented atmosphere. Students are able to learn a mix of traditional and modern martial arts techniques for self-defense, competition, conditioning, and general well-being while taught using a systematic approach to jiu-jitsu. After only one year of training here at RJJ Yorktown with Ben Eaton, I'm amazed by the valuable knowledge, skills, and discipline I've gained, and I have gotten in much better shape as well - Losing a decent amount of weight while becoming stronger and maintaining muscle mass.

This gym is amazing. Everyone, both staff and students, are very nice. Professor Ben Eaton is incredibly talented, and is able to give his knowledge of the sport to his students in a way that is easy to pick up. The gym itself is bigger than most jiu jitsu gyms that I’ve seen, and it’s a very clean and professional environment. The staff are helpful and willing to help everyone, regardless of your experience or lack of. I genuinely cannot recommend this gym enough for anyone looking to get into jiu jitsu or anyone just looking for a new physical outlet.

Dropped in for a couple of classes while visiting family in the area. Immediately felt welcome upon entering the facility. The facility itself is clean and spacious with a great mat space. I had the privilege of attending a class taught by the owner Ben Eaton who is an absolute world class instructor. You can feel the energy and passion that he has for the sport and it is reflected in the crushing pressure of all of his students. If your visiting the Yorktown or already live in the area don't miss your chance jump on the mats for a class. I only wish I could've made a few more classes. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely be back.
