Who We Are at
Siren Jiu Jitsu
Our School
We strive to provide students with everything they need to succeed at Siren Jiu Jitsu. Our team is focused on building well-rounded athletes that can overcome obstacles. Training in classes helps students work through problem areas, pushing them to not give up on something or themselves. While bettering ourselves on the mat, we love to come together as a community in fun gathering, including holiday parties. In the end, our mission is to use Jiu Jitsu to make people the best version of themselves on and off the mat.
Our History
After years of training under different professors with different styles, Julia and Vance decided to bring their skills together in one building. In March 2025, Siren Jiu Jitsu opened to the Newport News community, becoming a place for everyone interested in training. Their mission was to create an affordable, inclusive, stress-free, and non-intimidating studio that doesn’t limit itself to teaching just competitors. Julia and Vance use their years of experience, including black belts, Julia’s international Adult Division podium appearances, Vance’s vast experience and ‘Bunny Choke,’ and their passion for helping others to create a member-first studio. They have been able to help every person who’s walked through their doors to either compete with the best, form a strong self-defense skillset, or use Jiu Jitsu to overcome obstacles in all aspects of life. Siren Jiu Jitsu has been and always will be here for you!

Built on Community
Everything Siren Jiu Jitsu has done has been to create a culture and community where everyone can train. This is a studio where any beginners or those who are intimidated by starting martial arts can feel welcome. Take a look below to see what makes us the right place for your journey!
Our studio doesn’t push people away or fall into cliques. We welcome everyone to join us – no matter your age, background, gender identity, etc. – to discover the wonderful world of Jiu Jitsu and all it has to offer!
We make sure all children find a home that is safe and comfortable. Our team adapts to help everyone dealing with personal struggles, disabilities, disorders, or any other life obstacles. We’re determined to make their lives easier as they grow.
As a half-woman-owned Jiu Jitsu studio, we’ve designed a training environment where women can feel safe, comfortable, and included. We’ve built a large female base that has fully embraced the art of Jiu Jitsu.
All of our training focuses on the details. Students are taught each necessary skill to hone their skills for competitions and self-defense.
Siren Jiu Jitsu isn’t just a studio; it’s a loving community! We often come together away from normal class, including seminars, competitions, holiday parties, promotion celebrations, and more!
We want everyone to be able to train Jiu Jitsu. We’ve worked to build a studio with sliding-scale membership for low income families, free open mats, free loaner gis, and free training for out-of-town drop in visitors. Jiu Jitsu can change anyone’s life – that’s why we want to help everyone we can!
