Baltimore Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

“I've been training at Baltimore Gracie Jiu Jitsu for four years and have never looked back. Nick Tissue is a tremendous teacher, jiu jitsu practitioner, and person. His style is technical, precise, encouraging, and fun! All of the instructors embody that teaching philosophy. Fellow students are super supportive and I love the culture here - very family and kid friendly. The school is super clean also! As an older student (50 yrs old), I always feel comfortable and safe in this environment, and know that this is a place where I will train for decades to come! I highly recommend coming by and trying a class.”

“Nick Tissue and his team are exceptional. The step by step instruction allows you to understand the skills that your are learning. Gracie Jiujitsu is not just to self defense. I’ve found it to be good for fitness, friendship, and family. Several of my nieces and nephews have trained in the kids program. I currently have all 3 of my kids training at Baltimore Gracie Jiujitsu. Very diverse group or training partners from all walks of life and career fields. Family friendly environment. Supporters of military service members and emergency service professionals. Super clean training area. Just drop in for a few classes and find out if it’s for you.”

“Super welcoming, chill, and family friendly environment. For anyone with anxiety or nervous about starting, have no fear. With the great coaching and constant laughs, you’ll feel right at home from day one. The owners are a husband and wife team who are obviously passionate about jiu jitsu. All the members are A+ people too. It’s addicting and has me learning, laughing, and choking and being choked 4-5 days a week. Lots of programs for kids, women, newbies, and experts.”

“My wife and I were looking for a place to start training jiu jitsu. After looking at a few gyms, this place was the perfect fit for us as we were brand new. As two people who love sports, we want to be challenged but not looking to go so hard that we get injured. This checked all the boxes - great instruction, good teaching, organized, exceptionally clean (mats always sanitized), a clear program for how to progress following the Gracie lesson structure. Nick and his wife Alexis teach a number of programs so no matter what your ability, new or experienced, this is a great option. There’s constantly new angles to class as well - self defense, fight simulation, women empowerment training, kids training, competition themed classes, and high level stuff for the seasoned vets. We’ve been members almost a year now and couldn’t speak highly enough of the school and community here. Thanks!”

“I have been training myself and with both of my children for a few years at this time. I'm in my mid 40's and my kids are now 7 (daughter) and 8 (son). The kids started at age 4 and 5! We absolutely have a blast going to train and the environment is super clean and friendly. My kids enjoy the training and the friends they have made at Baltimore Gracie-Jiu Jitsu as have I. My training has been great and I felt very comfortable competing a few times so far and had a blast, but there is 0 pressure or influence to compete. It's a great fit for everyone. I could not imagine having such great training that is so safe and fun for the whole family until I found this place through a close friend. Thanks for everything Nick and Alexis! The skill and confidence in your BJJ will grow so much....Give it a try!”
