Nova Jiu Jitsu

Nova Jiu Jitsu is guided by a philosophy that views Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as more than just a collection of techniques—it's a tool for problem-solving under pressure and building resilience. Located in Lewisburg, West Virginia, the academy embraces a broader mission to support personal growth and family connection through martial arts and related activities. Though the school began focused on Jiu-Jitsu, its programming has expanded to include diverse fitness and wellness options that complement grappling training. Classes at Nova emphasize a progression through fundamentals and beyond in both gi and no-gi formats. Adults can join gi classes like Short Circuit, led by instructor Adam DeGraff, or participate in no-gi Family Jiu Jitsu sessions that welcome practitioners of all levels. Youth programming includes gi classes for kids and toddlers, while circuit training and boxing provide additional ways to develop physical conditioning and striking skills. A Tai Chi class rounds out the offerings, reflecting the academy’s interest in varied movement disciplines. The facility at 8484 Seneca Trail S is wheelchair accessible and offers childcare during certain circuit training sessions, supporting families who train together. Drop-in visitors are welcome across multiple classes, underscoring the academy’s openness to newcomers. Beyond martial arts, Nova hosts community gatherings and provides healthy food options through Coco’s Feel Good Food, integrating lifestyle elements that align with their holistic approach to training and wellbeing.
