Shorty's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“I cant say enough about how great Shorty's is. I found jiu jitsu amidst the pandemic and haven't left ever since, Shorty's was the first and only gym I checked out. From the small space on Lancaster Avenue to the new location on Baltimore Ave it has kept me constantly coming back. I have fallen in love with the sport, the people and everything that comes with it. Not only is it a great place to train it is filled with great coaches, training partners and new friends. This gym is very welcoming and caters to everyone's needs. From the day one white belt to the high level competitor its a fit for anyone. Everyone here is here to help their fellow teammate and has no issue slowing things down to help their partner. I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend my nights.”

“Very beginner-friendly BJJ Gym! I had never done martial arts and am on the smaller end at 5' 7" 120 lbs. I joined wanting to step out of my comfort zone but also had fears of injury, being the smallest person at the gym, and being inexperienced. Was a member at the gym for ~16 months. Mike and company make the transition comfortable. I felt safe to ask questions, roll with anyone regardless of belt or size, and was able to grow at a pace that was comfortable. Overall, I'm glad to have ventured into BJJ as it taught me how to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations, be physically fit, and have a more structured life. Would recommend!”

“Shorty's is nothing short of exemplary in BJJ training. Intro classes M/W/F provide a strong foundation for anyone interested in getting into the sport and learning the fundamentals. Advanced and competitive classes offer great ways for anyone to improve their game and get into competition. On or off the mat, the coaches and members treat everyone with great respect and decency. This is a great place to train, whether you are a novice or seasoned competitor. Come train with us!”

“Shorty’s is a great gym. The coaches are amazing and the atmosphere is chill. Everyone that trains there is very welcoming. I can’t stress enough how much it has improved my life training at Shorty’s.”

“I love the gym, the Classes are well-structured, with a good balance of technique drills and rolls. There are classes tailored for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, ensuring that everyone can find a suitable training opportunity.”
