Matt Robinson
"Google asked me for an update 8 months in, and it's still amazing!Agoge BJJ is truly a hidden gem! Professor JP has competed at the highest levels and promotes the perfect environment to train safely from beginners to experienced practitioners. Professor Ryan's positive attitude enhances Agoge. I highly recommend anyone looking to train in the Annapolis/Baltimore area to come try a class."
Julie White
"My 5 year old son bonded with professor JP and his other instructors here immediately. They are so welcoming. Such a great sense of community! Agoge encourages kids to grow together and include one another. A great team effort but also work on individual goals. We are so impressed! I can’t wait to watch my son thrive in this environment."

"I have been training with JP for 18 months. Even though this is a new school JP has been teaching in the area for years and has a loyal following of dedicated students. He is one of the best Black belts in the area. You will quickly see the difference between Agoge and other so called "Real Jiu Jitsu" schools in the area. The thing about BJJ is you can't fake it. JP is the most genuinely nice person I have ever met. He cares about all his students and I am glad to call him my friend. He has not only taught me jiu jitsu but he has made me a better person. He is a great teacher and has cultivated a great culture of friendship at the gym. Whatever your reason for starting BJJ I can assure you that you will have many new friends from all walks of life and you will never be the same, you will be better!"
