From the reviews
I was introduced to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by Gabe (Owner/Instructor of Six Blades New Market) in 2017. He possesses a genuine interest in helping people learn and fall in love with the sport. His instruction style embraces your skill level without judgement and he is a natural teacher.
This is the best Jiu Jitsu school in the country!!! Gabe is a phenomenal instructor! Loyal, Patient, Kind and an expert in his field! His dedication to the community, you and your children as students and the cleanliness and professionalism of the studio is unmatched!
Last I was on the mat was in 2016. My interest never went away so I decided to give this Six Blades BJJ Academy a chance - it did not disappoint! I look forward to learning/growing with my new found home. Thanks Coach Gabriel!
Six Blades is a calm and welcoming experience on the mats. Working with Gabe is awesome and you’ll love doing Jiu jitsu.
New to BJJ? Start at Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu Frederick
Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu Frederick 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 Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu Frederick
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.
