I am Jason Doucette, owner and head instructor of Battlefield Jiu Jitsu in the Haymarket-Gainesville area offering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for kids and adults. Welcome to our website.

This site is designed to give you the benefits of our programs, our philosophy on teaching martial arts, and to provide you with information on how to contact us as well.

We train a wide variety of students – beginner to advanced, young to the young at heart. You will find our well-trained staff, and students alike, to be warm and welcoming presenting a more modern approach to the arts, not a stern and stereotypically regimented martial arts school of old.

“I highly recommend Battlefield Jiu Jitsu in the Haymarket – Gainesville area for those who are interested in learning Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Jason has a lot of knowledge and also experience on teaching. He is a very dedicated martial artist who is always looking to evolve and share his knowledge with others.”

“I have trained with Jason since 2001, he has been my teammate, student, and friend throughout the entire time. His attention to detail, constant search for improvement, knowledge, and competitive experience makes him an excellent coach. He has been my assistant coach since 2008, and his contribution to our team has been tremendous. The Haymarket-Gainesville area is lucky to be getting such a talented athlete and involved coach! I look forward to seeing his team grow and his continued contributions to the sport.”

“I strongly recommend Jason Doucette for his outstanding commitment to the excellence of his students. Professor Doucette’s teaching method provides a hands-on, step by step approach to understanding and developing each martial arts discipline. His diverse background in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts are the cornerstone to his teaching success.”

“As a Platoon Sergeant with 5 deployment (4 combat tours), and also teaches United States Army Combative training, I’ve been involved in several up close and personal engagements with enemy combatants and I can tell you I rely on Jason’s training and support to keep me on top of my game.”

“Jason Doucette is a terrific Martial Arts instructor. In 21 months, my two kids, ages 8 and 5, have progressed at an amazing rate. With over 10 years as a federal law enforcement agent and defensive tactics instructor, I have been privileged to receive some world class self defense instruction. Jason is the real deal!”

“I have even learned a lot myself watching his detailed instruction of the kids. He is great with children and adults and is interested in their overall development in and out of the academy. My kids can’t wait to go to class each week! I couldn’t ask for a better martial arts instructor for my children.”

“Jason Doucette has an excellent coaching style that promotes cooperation and support among the students. His attention to detail is one of the best that I have experienced in any dojo. Jason demonstrates each technique, while clearly emphasizing the key elements. What’s more he makes class enjoyable.”

“Jason is a great instructor, and training in Brazlian Jiu Jitsu is a great alternative for getting into shape, as it builds inner strength and self confidence. Even though you’re in a group/class setting, with Professor Jason, you feel like you’re receiving one-on-one training.”

– Patrick Lacy

“I wasn’t sure what to expect coming into a gym with a bunch of younger guys studying a combat sport, but after my initial meeting with Jason I felt certain this environment was right for me. Having a busy job and building a family really consumes a large part of everyone’s day, making a workout routine hard to keep.”

“It became clear to me that having a “practice” to go to with a real “team” was what I lacked for motivation. Growing up I always had that and now I have it again. The instruction is precise, the workouts are intense and the camaraderie is encouraging. We work hard together and I try for my teammates to keep up. I feel I’m getting back into the best shape of my life and only wish I had found this sooner!”

Our objective is to provide you with high quality Martial Arts instruction in a safe, realistic and fun environment. Our innovative teaching methods and unique curriculum are designed to allow a student to learn in a step-by-step fashion. Over the course of training a student will be gradually exposed to various techniques, training and skill sets to unleash their maximum potential in Martial Arts and Self-Defense.  You will receive individual guidance from our instructors as you learn the basics and going forward as your skill level increases.

A note on safety: We understand that not all students train for competition. Many just want to have fun, learn self-defense skills and get in great shape at the same time. That is why we cut no corners and place a strong priority on your safety. We use only the safest equipment combined with the latest, most progressive teaching methods available. Just because you may not want to step on a competitive grappling mat or in a cage and fight like an MMA Fighter, doesn’t mean you can’t train and receive those same health and fitness benefits!
