What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Mike Turpin
"Despite being somewhat of a rogue BJJ black belt in our community, GAMA is my "home" and that is an amazing feeling. There is a pocket of people for anyone here and together, they all align as one. Greg is an amazing human and knows how to run a business the right way. Thank you for all you've done for me, GAMA!"
Leo Dregier
"Best community of BJJ enthusiasts in the city of Baltimore. Come for the free trial. Stay for self defense, competitive BJJ, exercise, becoming the best version of you that you didn't know exists. The youth program is unmatched. Bring your kids, watch them grow into confident young adults with self confidence, discipline and respect. The only thing you will regret is starting later in life. Adult program is amazing. Best instructors around. Military, police, fire dept friendly..."
