Join us for our Fifty/50 adult (18+) game night Friday, February 6 from 7:30pm - 10pm!

This is a relaxed social night and  a chance to spend time with training partners, meet people from other classes, and just enjoy the gym community. 

Bring your favorite board and card game and get ready to play against your training partners! 

What it is:
• Lots of different board games  (you do not have to play but can come hang out!) 
• Potluck (bring something if you want)
• BYOB

Free and very casual!

You don’t need to stay the whole time, and there’s no pressure,  just stop by, play a game, talk, and head out whenever.

If you’ve been meaning to get to know people at the gym a bit more, this is an easy way to do it. Hope to see you there! 

If you plan on coming (and you are welcomed to bring guests!) just let us know at the front desk, email us at info@5050bjj.com, or give us a call 703-536-5414.

We are excited to host a Youth Program Coaching Assistant Training  session for all individuals interested in supporting and strengthening our youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo programs. This training is an opportunity to learn what it truly means to be part of our coaching team and to help shape a positive, safe, and high-quality learning environment for our students.

Who This Program Is For

This program is open to:

• Adult members currently training at Fifty/50

• Parents or guardians of children enrolled in our youth program

• Teens, aged13+, who are currently training or have previously trained at Fifty/50

No prior coaching experience is required—just a genuine interest in helping kids learn, grow, and succeed through martial arts and a willingness to learn from our experienced coaches in how you can assist during class.

What We’ll Cover

Led by Coach and Co-Founder Jen Hall, this training will provide a comprehensive introduction to the role of a coaching assistant at Fifty/50, including:

• The responsibilities and expectations of a coaching assistant

• Best practices for working with youth in BJJ and Judo settings

• The Fifty/50 coaching ethos and values

• How to assist lead coaches during class

• Managing groups by age, skill level, and experience

• Supporting students during drills, positional work, and live training

• Effective communication with students and coaches

• Physical, intellectual, emotional, and technical expectations for each age group

This session will include discussion, real-world examples, and practical guidance drawn directly from how our youth program operates day to day.

What Is a Coaching Assistant?

Coaching assistants are an essential part of our youth program. They allow us to:

• Break students into smaller groups by age and skill level

• Provide more individualized attention and instruction

• Help students build confidence, focus, and technical skill

We are looking for individuals who are:

• Patient and dependable

• Strong communicators

• Quick learners who can follow instruction

• Positive role models for children and teens

• Comfortable working as part of a team

Compensation & Opportunities

Compensation is based on several factors, including:

• Level of experience

• Age

• Commitment level and availability

Compensation may range from:

• Complimentary academy membership

• Reduced membership rates

• Volunteer/School Service Hours

• Paid coaching assistant hours

This program may also serve as a pathway to long-term coaching opportunities within the Fifty/50 youth program for those who are interested and demonstrate strong alignment with our values.
