What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Octavio Vazquez
"Been training under Jeff for 5 years, it’s been one of the most rewarding additions to my life. The students and instructors are always a pleasure to interact with, I always leave with a feeling of fulfillment. Jeff is super knowledgeable on what he teaches, and encourages you to ask questions. Classes are always engaging, and I always find myself having fun. I’ve enrolled my nephew into the little kids program and he’s been having a blast learning in class. The location is always clean and there’s a very nice lounge for people to hangout a bit after practices. If you want to bring someone along who doesn’t train, they can stay in the lounge, or watch the classes from the benches available around the mat. Love the experience I’ve had at the gym so far, I’m looking forward to being a part of it for a very long time!"

"Trained at Foundation while In Baltimore on a work trip. Clean and friendly gym. Jeff is a knowledgeable coach and made me feel welcome. Good level of Jiu Jitsu from the students. Hope to train there again at some stage. Highly recommend."

"Super welcoming, very friendly, tons of fun! I came through visiting town for work and am still very new to the sport, but coach jeff and the whole team welcomed me right in and let me learn in the fundamentals class. The gym is also extremely well designed and gorgeous. I am for sure keeping this place on my radar for every chance I can get back to the Baltimore area!"
Asher Michaelson
"Foundation is a great place to learn the art of Jiu-Jitsu. I came from another gym that I left about 5 years ago, and joined this one. This gym is better than most, they pay attention to what you need to learn. They know what parts of the sport you need help in and tell you and help you work past it. The community this place brings you into is full of wonderful people, and you will not regret coming here."
