“Absolutely love this academy. I’m 61, my son is 15, and my daughter is 13. We recently moved here from Astoria Oregon. My kids have been doing Jiu Jitsu for several years. Myself around a year. Our mission was to find an academy and continue our Jiu Jitsu journey. Art of War Jiu Jitsu academy solidified our mission.“
“From the moment I walked through the door, I felt completely welcomed and at ease. Professor Art, Coach Mike, and Sarah all go above and beyond to create an incredible training environment. Sarah is especially helpful and attentive to the students’ needs, ensuring everyone feels supported and valued.”
“AOW is an amazing place and my home base. The coaches are excellent, very patient, and work with all levels, from beginners to advanced students. Especially for people who have difficult schedules with work, family and everything in-between. “
“I started BJJ at AOW at the very young age of 40! Totally impressed by the knowledge of the coaches, positive attitudes, and growth. The 8 week fundamentals class is a great start for newbies.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our martial arts programs
Bullies are rooted in insecurity and fear. But our Orange Park & St. Augustine kids martial arts classes grow confidence, focus, and respect. And our group training builds positive social skills and confidence. So long story short: No! Your child won’t become a bully, and there are no bullies in our classes either!
That is up to you! If you need some ‘me time’ — go grab a coffee and relax. Your child is in great hands. If you’d like to stay and observe, you’re welcome to do that as well, and make friends with the other parents. We’ve got a great community here in our Orange Park & St. Augustine martial arts school and can’t wait for you to become part of it.
No way! Some folks come to us who have never exercised in their lives. Others have athlete-levels of fitness. That’s the beauty of martial arts — everyone starts at the same place. And although you’re in a group setting, you’re on your own personal journey. Some people advance faster than others. Every pace is okay. There’s no ego here in our Orange Park & St. Augustine kids and adult martial arts classes. Just support and positivity.
There is no real answer for this! And we’d urge you to be cautious of any school that gives you one. The truth is, the path to black belt is a deeply personal and individual journey. Some folks have natural talent and practice hard every day. Other people need to spend more time building coordination and fitness.
It’s not about getting to black belt, it’s about you becoming a better version of yourself along the way. As you train, overcome obstacles, make friends, find support — you’ll become a stronger you, inside and out.
And our instructors here at Art of War Jiu Jitsu Orange Park & St. Augustine are committed to you every step.
