Shawn Yoder
"This is my home away from home! All of the instructors are some of the best people I've ever had the privilege to meet. The most welcoming environment I've ever stepped into and all of the students are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend anybody interested in BJJ to come and check it out!"
Danielle Perez
"Me and my boyfriend (blue and black belt respectively) trained here for almost a year while I was completing my masters and I have to say this place is a gem. The training is tough while still being a safe environment, the gym is nice, the prices are great and most of all the people are kind. There's a community of people in this gym who genuinely welcome newcomers and root for each individuals success. People in the gym genuinely care for each other and as the sign in the back says, leave their ego at the door (and off the mat). Also, the yoga class (as well as the fantastic instructor Kristi) is great and the flow definitely complements your BJJ game. This place is a 10/10 and if I had to do my time in Baltimore all over I would choose this place every time."
Robb Griffey
"My son had showed an interest in returning to martial arts more specifically Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. While we live within walking distance of a school something intrigued me about Baltimore BJJ. I signed him up for the two week trial and after the first class he couldn’t stop talking about it. There is a family f el to this school that creates a very welcoming and supportive environment. All of the instructors are phenomenal. I can’t stress enough how my son has benefited from Baltimore BJJ. He’s more confident, he has less anxiety, he has gotten into better shape and is even trying out for High School Sports this year! I can’t recommend Baltimore BJJ enough!!!"
