Comet Mixed Martial Arts

Comet mma offers excellent instructions for all skill levels. Instructors are experienced and knowledgable. Definitely worth it if you want to learn how to kick ass or defend yourself.

Comet MMA is THE place to train! Travis is one of the top instructors in the DC Metro area. His instruction is some of the best I’ve ever received. His understanding of the Jiu Jitsu game is very impressive. I’ve seen him first hand turn BJJ practitioners from weekend warriors into champions. He’s great with all levels and is able to individualize a game plan for each athlete he’s working with. Assistant Instructor Sean is awesome, his ability to work with new athletes by keeping them motivated, helping them understand the basics is outstanding and will help build a solid foundation.
The gym is super clean with loads of mat space (and no pole in the middle of the floor!!) I highly recommend this gym if you’re new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and even more if you’ve been in the sport. Your game will go to new heights with Travis’ and Sean’s progressive way of teaching.

Training at Comet MMA was a pleasure and great experience. Travis is an excellent instructor. He demonstrates each technique clearly and explains the principles behind why the technique works. Travis also provides students with individualized attention and tailors his instruction to emphasize each student’s strength. Sean is fun to roll with! He genuinely cares about each student’s progression and pushes them to succeed. Sean ensures that students have a solid understanding of BJJ principles by taking time to drill proper technique. I would highly recommend Comet MMA for all levels from beginner white belts to experienced higher level belts.

Travis is an amazing instructor and is able to break complex moves into fine and easy to understand steps. I would highly recommend Travis as a BJJ instructor to beginners and experts alike. Whether you are looking to compete or just looking for a new sport to lose weight, Travis can help you accomplish your goals! Don’t waste anymore time and try a class out for yourself!

Travis is an outstanding coach, I’ve had a few and he is my favorite. I like the manner in which he teaches it is very good for learning and developing a set of moves so that you are not just mindlessly rolling on the mat. The drilling that he does is also well designed for you to then be able to execute those moves during sparring. One time I was in a sparring session and I pulled off everything he had taught that day, that isn’t because I learn quick that is a testament to the method in which he trains you, I have never been able to pull off the moves I learned in the same day except with Travis. The people who are at commet mma are also very good people to be around they are from all walks of life and all friendly they also all give constructive criticism’s. No one tries to put other people down they simply say «hey try this» or «hey your doing this and it just isn’t working maybe go for something else», in a very constructive way that encourages you to improve your jiu-​jitsu. If you are new to jiu-​jitsu don’t be worried about coming in, it is O. K to be nervous but not worried. No one at this gym will try and hurt you everyone is interested in all of us growing together. The gym is very conveniently located near George Mason which I attend it’s an easy drive from there. The co-​owner Sean Hailey is also a stud who is deeply invested in the growth of your individual jiu-​jitsu game. He is constantly touching base with me asking what I feel I need to work on and seeing what he can do to help me out, when I told him I have been working out alone in the mornings he decided to introduce morning jiu-​jitsu to help improve not just my game and conditioning but everyones. If you are reading this and are on the fence, just come by, you don’t loose anything by trying it out, and if you do grow to be fascinated by brazilian jiu-​jitsu I can’t think of anyone better to help develop that love for the game more than coach Travis.

Travis is a great instructor. As a small female I have felt not big or strong enough in my game. Travis immediately showed me techniques that work for me. Travis is able to break down each move with amazing details. Just after my first session my teammates saw a huge improvement in my BJJ game! I recommend Travis to anyone who wants to learn BJJ and anyone who wants to take their game to the next level.

Travis is beyond knowledgeable and explains technique in ways that are easy to understand. I personally have trained for 12 years at 4 academies (and visited numerous others), and I can honestly say that Travis is light-​years ahead of other instructors in terms of his ability to both explain & demonstrate actual techniques. Additionally, Travis and Sean genuinely care for each and every member of their gym.

I just had a baby in the Spring and was looking for a fun way to get back into shape. Comet MMA offers quality BJJ beginner courses and has really made workouts fun! I was a little intimidated at first not knowing what to expect, but the environment is friendly and welcoming. The perfect marriage of fun and exercise (not to mention the side benefit of learning self-​defense techniques). It is also worth noting that I’m a bit picky about where I workout (i.e., germophobe) and the team at Comet is meticulous about cleanliness. Always a good thing! :)

Travis is a great instructor! He is one of the best instructors in the northern Virginia area. Sean also is a great instructor for the basics of jui jitsu. The location is clean and the people are really nice. A great place to learn the basics to advance technics of Brazilian jui jitsu. Definitely a place to check out in the fairfax area.
