What members say
“The terms are not at all flexible, and not having any daily, weekly, or monthly options, makes it, in my opinion, inaccessible to the average family.”
“If you’re looking for a place to build your child’s fitness level and grow their confidence this is a wonderful place to do so.”
“I am really able to focus on myself and compete with myself, without feeling hyperaware of how I am comparing to others.”

From the reviews
Avraham is deeply passionate about his training at this academy. We find the promotion ceremonies truly inspiring to witness, as the entire staff consistently demonstrates an exemplary balance of professionalism and warmth.
My daughter loves to come here for her BJJ classes! Miss. Kim, Mr. Darnell, Mr. T, Junior, & the rest of the staff, they’re just amazing! Especially with the kids! Since day 1 they made my daughter feel comfortable and she decided right away that this was a place she wanted to go to!
My Son started this School a few Months ago. I’ve seen his progress go from 0 to 6 out of a scale of 10! I can’t wait to see what he will look like after a year. Most importantly he loves coming to class! Great School and Great Teachers and Staff! Sign y’all Children up for training ASAP!
"What? It's been a week and you aren't ready to commit the rest of your life to us?" We just wanted to enroll our 7 year old in some kung fu classes. BMAA offered a free week trial (3 classes) She loved the class. Loved the instructors, my wife and I were both impressed, but then we got to the contract.
Your first BJJ class at Baltimore Martial Arts Academy
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
