Claim this gymWDC Jiu Jitsu and Fitness Academy in Takoma Park, Maryland, is led by Professor Deivid Dias, a black belt whose roots reach back to training in Brazil in the early 2000s. After building a career that includes championships at the IBJJF Pan Ams, American Nationals, and AJP Grand Slam, Deivid founded WDC BJJ in 2015 with a focus on bringing authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu values and instruction to the D.C. area. The academy is the headquarters for GFTeam DC, reflecting Deivid’s direct connection to one of the world’s top competitive BJJ teams, and benefits from a leadership group that includes Professor Charlene Dixon and Professor Marcio Carvalho, both black belts who bring technical depth and a commitment to student development. Training at WDC BJJ covers a broad range of ages and goals, with programs designed for kids, adults, and competitive athletes. The schedule features gi and no-gi classes six days a week, including early morning, evening, and weekend options. Kids’ classes start as young as toddlers and progress through youth and competition team formats, while adults can choose from fundamentals, mixed-level, and advanced sessions in both gi and no-gi. Women’s classes are a regular part of the schedule, led by experienced female instructors who serve as technical role models. The academy also offers open mat sessions and maintains a recovery room to support student health and training longevity. WDC BJJ is a family-run school that emphasizes respect, discipline, and effort, values brought directly from its Brazilian lineage. Annual training camps in Rio de Janeiro connect students with the roots of the art and offer unique opportunities for growth. Located just off Carroll Ave with accessible parking and public transit, the academy welcomes visitors and drop-ins, providing a space where students can pursue competition, self-defense, or simply enjoy the lifelong benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
