What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Briana Kaya
"Our whole family trains at Calvert MMA and takes classes together, we have been there since last winter and signed up for another year. I was nervous about doing it but my teen daughter wanted me to do it with her and we have a blast. We aren't looking to compete just to feel safer - and it has definitely improved our confidence. My teen son and husband take the advanced classes as well and Shawn always takes the time to answer my son's questions and teaches thoroughly. Fran realized my daughter wasn't always comfortable and always takes the time to help. All of the instructors are great!"
Madison Cucuzza
"I had an exceptional experience at Calvert MMA Academy - Lineage BJJ / Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. My friend and I took their 1 hour women’s self defense class and the instructors were so nice and informative, not to mention funny as they were making jokes during teaching. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from them and I’m looking forward to going back."

"Great gym and great people! Was in town on very short business trip and asked if I could swing by and train. One of the instructors, Jack, greeted me as soon as I walked in and was really great at talking through the techniques and working one on one with the students to work out the finer details. My training partners treated me like I was part of the team and expressed concern when they noticed I was nursing an old shoulder injury. Without prompting they even adjusted their pressure to accommodate it. I doubt I'll ever be in the area again but if am I will definitely be swinging by for another visit. Thanks to all the instructors and students!!"
