Overview
About True Elevation BJJ (Round Table BJJ Affiliate)
True Elevation BJJ (Round Table BJJ Affiliate) in Kearneysville brings Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into a much broader training environment, giving students a place where grappling can be paired with strength work, conditioning, and a steady routine built for real progress. Located at 362 W Burr Blvd Suite BJJ, the academy operates within TPF, a locally owned 15,000 sq ft fitness center designed for athletes and everyday members alike. That setting gives True Elevation BJJ a practical edge in the local martial arts scene: students can step from mat time into a full service gym with cardio equipment, machines, plate loaded options, free weights, an outdoor walking track, a basketball court, and an athletic field. For busy families and committed practitioners, that kind of convenience makes training easier to sustain week after week.
The academy offers a strong mix of programs for different ages and goals, including Adult BJJ & Gym, Youth (9-13yo) BJJ, Youth (5-8yo) BJJ, Heroes BJJ & Gym, and the broader martial arts school setting. That range helps create a community where beginners, parents, and experienced grapplers can all find a path that fits. The youth classes give younger students a structured introduction to movement, discipline, and confidence, while adult training supports people looking to sharpen technique, improve fitness, or simply enjoy the problem-solving side of jiu-jitsu. With Krav Maga and Bootcamp classes also part of the wider fitness center, the atmosphere encourages cross-training and a well-rounded approach to martial arts and health.
Instruction is led by Joseph Harrison, Jess Hockley, Patrick Dolin, Christopher Spiess, and Chris Pauly, giving students access to a team rather than a single point of contact. That can be especially helpful in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy, where different coaching styles and perspectives can make technique more accessible. The belt ranks offered give students a clear path to grow over time, whether they are stepping onto the mat for the first time or continuing an established journey. For many students, the combination of guided instruction and a spacious fitness setting creates a steady, welcoming rhythm that supports long-term development.
Practical advantages round out the experience. Members receive free access to a full service gym, tanning is included, and supplements come with 10% off, making the academy appealing for anyone who wants training support beyond the mat. For more details, the academy’s website at https://tebjj.com/ gives prospective students a direct way to explore classes and see how True Elevation BJJ fits their goals. In a local market where convenience, coaching, and versatility matter, this academy stands out for connecting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the everyday benefits of a complete fitness center.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What classes and programs does True Elevation BJJ offer?
True Elevation BJJ offers a range of classes that make it easy to find a training path that fits your age and goals. The academy’s program list includes Adult BJJ & Gym, Youth (5-8yo) BJJ, Youth (9-13yo) BJJ, Heroes BJJ & Gym, and its designation as a martial arts school. That mix is useful for families and for adults who want a place to train Jiu-Jitsu while also making use of the broader gym setting at TPF. Because the academy sits inside a 15,000 sq ft fitness center, students can pair mat time with strength work, conditioning, and other fitness options in one location. If you want help selecting the right class for your age group or experience level, the best next step is to contact the academy through its website and ask which program fits your goals.
What are the class schedule and hours of operation?
The academy’s exact class schedule and daily hours can change based on the program, age group, and training calendar, so the most practical way to plan a visit is to check directly with True Elevation BJJ through its website at https://tebjj.com/. Since the academy operates within TPF and offers adult and youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu alongside other fitness and martial arts options, class times may differ between the Adult BJJ & Gym track and the two youth groups. If you are balancing work, school, or family obligations, reaching out in advance is the easiest way to confirm which sessions are currently running and what times are best for a first visit. That also gives you a chance to ask about youth class placement and the best starting point for a new student.
How much does membership cost, and is there a trial option?
Membership pricing is best confirmed directly with the academy, since rates can vary by program and may change over time. A practical first step is to visit https://tebjj.com/ and ask whether there is a trial class or intro visit available before committing to a membership. That approach is especially helpful if you are comparing Adult BJJ & Gym with the youth programs or want to understand how access to the full service gym, tanning, and supplement discount is handled. Because True Elevation BJJ is part of a larger local fitness center, membership questions may involve both BJJ access and broader gym benefits. Contacting the academy directly will give you the clearest answer on current sign-up options and any introductory visit policies.
Do beginners need prior martial arts experience to start training?
No prior martial arts background is needed to get started in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at True Elevation BJJ. The academy offers organized adult and youth programs, which makes it a practical place for first-time students who want a clear path into training. Adults can enter the Adult BJJ & Gym program, while children have age-specific options in the 5-8yo and 9-13yo groups. That structure is helpful because it lets new students learn in a setting matched to their age and stage of development. If you are new to grappling, you can focus on basic movement, positioning, and class routine while building comfort over time. For placement guidance, contacting the academy before your first visit is the easiest way to confirm which class is the best fit.
How do I book a visit or get started at True Elevation BJJ?
The simplest way to schedule a visit is to go through the academy’s website at https://tebjj.com/ and reach out about starting a class. Since True Elevation BJJ offers adult and youth programs inside TPF, a quick message or call can help you confirm the right class, the best time to come in, and any first-visit steps you should know before arriving at 362 W Burr Blvd Suite BJJ in Kearneysville. If you are bringing a child, you can also ask whether the 5-8yo or 9-13yo class is the better fit. If you are an adult looking to train and use the full service gym, asking about the current onboarding process will help you plan your first session smoothly.
