The Jiu-Jitsu Academy of Southern Maryland

"My son and daughter have been attending The Jiu-Jitsu Academy for the past year. The instructors are great with kids – they create a fun, engaging, and safe environment that makes learning Jiu-Jitsu both exciting and rewarding. The curriculum is well-organized, balancing technique with discipline, and each class is designed to keep kids actively engaged while teaching them valuable life skills like perseverance and focus. My kids have gained confidence not only in their Jiu-Jitsu skills but also in their overall physical coordination and teamwork. The classes are a perfect mix of structured learning and play."

"Couldn't be happier with John and the other instructors at the Jiu-Jitsu Academy of Southern Maryland. My daughter was a student there for the last year and a half. She was 8 when she started with no experience and was tentative. John was patient with her and set her up for success. Her skills and confidence improved week after week. Teaching and helping other students is part of the requirements to advance to the next level - it's part of the culture there and one of the best things to watch in your child. Highly recommend!"

"Great gym with a welcoming atmosphere, especially for beginners! The instructors are great, and we have especially enjoyed being able to learn judo together as a family on Thursday nights!"
