Apex Jiu Jitsu

Apex Jiu Jitsu in Midlothian, Virginia, is guided by owner and black belt Payton Wilson alongside a team of seasoned instructors all holding black or brown belts. The academy focuses on a structured curriculum that covers both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with dedicated classes for adults and youth. Instruction for children is divided into age groups starting as young as four years old, led by coaches Bob Flanigan and John Ro. Teens and adults receive separate classes to address their specific learning needs and skill levels. Training includes early morning and evening gi classes taught by William Hamilton and Ed Santos, while no-gi sessions are overseen by Vince Magno. Women’s only classes provide a space tailored for female practitioners, and kickboxing is also part of the schedule, adding a striking element to the overall program. The academy offers regular open mat sessions where students can drill techniques or spar freely, supporting ongoing development outside of formal instruction. The facility is wheelchair accessible and serves a broad range of students, from beginners to those preparing for competition. With two locations in Virginia, including one in Farmville, Apex Jiu Jitsu allows students to find a convenient place to train while maintaining consistent coaching and programming. The focus remains on steady progress through a clear belt system and hands-on guidance from experienced black belts.
