Standard Jiu Jitsu

"Ive trained here many many times and its only occured to me to write a review now. Ive been training for 8 years and due to my job I travel almost weekly. Ive been to probably close to 100 gyms. Standard is something so special. Greg is something so special. There are some phenomenal athletes training there and youd never know. Everyone walks in with the same goal. I look forward to my time here every time i am in Maryland. Greg has changed the way I look at jiu jitsu. I owe a lot to that man"

"I had an awesome experience visiting Standard Jiu Jitsu. Greg gave me nearly an hour of his time one-on-one, let me sit in on two classes, and wouldn’t even accept payment. That kind of hospitality is rare and deeply appreciated. We’ve been talking on and off for about three years now, and Greg has always been open, thoughtful, and patient, even when I’ve asked challenging questions or pushed for clarity. He never got defensive, just genuinely wanted to help me understand and grow. As someone who runs my own academy (570 Jiu Jitsu), I’m always looking to improve and learn from the best. Greg sets a great example of what world class coaching and humility look like. I left feeling inspired and more equipped to keep pushing forward as a coach. Can’t recommend Standard enough."

"Nothing compares to the environment here. Coach Greg runs a world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program that blends elite-level coaching with a culture that pushes you to grow—physically and mentally. His attention to detail, especially when it comes to no-gi technique and strategy, is next-level. The training style here just makes sense. It’s technical, pressure-tested, and designed to build skill fast. Whether you’re new to BJJ or have years of experience, this is the kind of place where you level up. Everyone on the mat is focused, and the coaching makes it clear why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most effective martial arts for real self-defense and athletic development. If you're looking for the best BJJ gym in Rockville, Montgomery County, or in the DMV, especially for no-gi training and high-level coaching, this is it. Can’t recommend Coach Greg and the team enough."

"If you want to learn Brazilian jiu jitsu, there is no better place than Standard. The culture is welcoming and supportive. The members take care of each other and help each other grow. This culture comes from the top. Greg is a truly great coach that cares about his students like no other coach I have met. In my opinion, Greg is the best coach in the world, but don’t trust me. Go see for yourself."
