From the reviews
’ve been training at Infinity Jiu-Jitsu of Maryland for 3 years now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Head instructor Mark Gornall is truly a world-class coach who brings unparalleled dedication and care to every class.
I’ve been training at Infinity for 1.5 years now, and it has been an incredible experience. Mark is by far the best coach I’ve had across all the sports I’ve participated in. He is extremely dedicated to his students and team.
I joined Infinity with my son about three years ago, and I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly and supportive community. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable environment for training.
I cannot express enough gratitude for Coach Mark. Since my son started training under him, the transformation has been incredible. Not only has my son developed remarkable skills in Jiu-Jitsu, but his confidence, discipline, and overall outlook on life have improved dramatically.
New to BJJ? Start at Infinity Jiu-jitsu and Judo
Infinity Jiu-jitsu and Judo comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Infinity Jiu-jitsu and Judo
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.
