I've been training with Coach Mike and Coach Tara for roughly about 3 years now and I will say, some of the most professional and knowledgeable people you will meet! Both Mike and Tara have EXTENSIVE history in the Mixed Martial Arts scene as well as competed at the highest level of grappling. Coach Mike's instruction is top-tier. He has an ability to break instruction down from the experienced practitioners to the day 1 students so everyone can understand. Students regularly attend their classes are very welcoming as Mike and Tara promote a very family friendly, safe, professional and very close nit environment. If you're in the La Plata area, please give Enlisted Nine Fight Company - Maryland (Pagano BJJ) a try. I promise you will NOT regret it.

Paganobjj has been instrumental in expanding my skill with BJJ. I’ve been attending this school for the past 2 years and it has been a humbling experience. Instructors Mike, Tara, Adam, Nate, and Dom are all experienced BJJ practitioners that enjoy taking the time to slow things down and ensure you are learning each technique properly. Instructors Mike and Tara also serve our community in both a law enforcement and emergency medicine capacity. Coming from a law enforcement background, this is very important to me, where I can use the skills and techniques learned in class to keep myself safe when I’m working. Because of the training and the expertise of the staff, I am much more confident in and out of my working environment. I highly recommend all levels of BJJ and MMA to give this school a try. You will be happy you did.

Whether you're looking looking for exercise, a place to train, or to put your kids on the right path, Mike and Tara will welcome you with open arms. Give it a try!

I've known Mike and Pagano BJJ for several years. Mike is a very good instructor who's passionate about sharing jiujitsu, watching people grow, and spreading the martial arts ethos. Highly recommend his school if you're in the area.
