High Noon BJJ & Fitness LLC

Was only in town for a month and needed to find a place to train on short notice. This gym was super inclusive, full of experts, and very accommodating.

Clean facility, spacious gym, great people , and great instruction.

Chris Round is a very experienced Judo practitioner and an effective coach. Some great Judo camps and clinics have been run here featuring US Olympians.

I went to a week-long camp at High Noon. I found excellent instruction, both from Chris and the guest instructors he brought in. The students at High Noon have a strong gripping system and you can always find tough rounds of randori. Its common to see black belt vs black belt randori, and the instructors also take part in randori. Overall a great experience, and I'd highly recommend this club.

Always keep the mats clean, great judo program, amazing instructors across all training levels and programs (judo, BJJ, muai thai). Great club

This review is specifically for the Judo program at High Noon.The lead instructor, Sensei Chris Round, who trained under the Judo legend and Olympian Jimmy Pedro for many years and was himself a nationally ranked competitor, is exceptionally knowledgeable about modern competitive Judo. He offers a structured and scientific curriculum based on the Pedro system of training and coaching, with a particular emphasis on grip fighting. No random "technique of the day" style of training here! There is a logical progression in the lessons that methodically build upon the previous instruction.The training is well-structured and easy to follow - first warmups and light movement/throw entry drills, followed by highly technical, yet comprehensible instruction, then it is time for positional sparring of intermediate intensity and eventually full-on sparring for advanced students, capped by 15 minutes or so of Q&A time for the students. Throughout the lesson, Sensei Chris and other instructors observe the students carefully to ensure safety and offer helpful tips and suggestions to perfect the techniques.Moreover, he is a kind, accessible, and honorable character to whom I would entrust my children without hesitation. I recommend the program highly.

Was looking for a place to learn judo in the DMV and heard about this place via reddit. After doing some research, Sensei Chris is an elite level coach and competitor and it definitely feels that way in practice. Im pretty sure other judo places in the area will just teach you cookie cutter basics, while Sensei Chris is equipping you for chess. Sensei gauges what to focus on for you and runs an extremely efficient session and always emphasizes safety. What I appreciate most is how passionate and knowledgable sensei is. I learned how deep the judo iceberg could be. For those that are looking to train judo in the DMV you have hit the jackpot. This place is a steal.

High Noon is an awesome place to train, learn, and stay in shape. The coaching staff is welcoming, always willing to help, and very passionate about helping students learn. Whether you're brand new or experienced, there is a place for everyone at High Noon and the atmosphere of like-minded individuals is second to none!

Judo instructor, Chris, is a quality coach, for both basic developmental, and elite level judo. Chris holds high rank in judo, and BJJ, and has masterful understanding of the transition gap that is so easy to miss between the two arts. He will provide safe, effective teaching for any level. I highly recommend him, and this school, for any level of practicioner.
