TESTIMONIALS
Damon Hauser for Fionn age 9
“I’ve been train here for about a year, and my son Fionn who’s nine also trains here and he’s been training about six months. He never did any sports before so I was kind of worried about him; he was kind of a bookish nerdy kid. He’s not a real physical kid so I was kind of worried when he came here that he wouldn’t like it, or he wouldn’t be good at it, or the other kids would be stronger or faster or used to sports or stuff like that. But everybody is so nice and Lee is so great and so is Mr. Nick is so great with the kids. He has really become a much more confident physical kid. He’s more confident with himself physically, he’s better at sports when he goes and plays with other kids in the neighborhood, and he’s loved it. He really does enjoy it and he definitely wants to stick with it and I hope he does because it’s doing a lot of good for him.”
John Ray for Jordan age 8
“Jordan joined jiu jitsu 2 or 3 weeks ago. She has enjoyed it so far it has enabled her to be more physical and athletic and I look forward to her being able to advance in the class. The staff is wonderful they interact with the kids well, the kids interact with them well. I like that the class isn’t too big, so she is able to get the individual attention when she needs it..”
Eric Jackomino for Jadon age 10
“Jadon has been training since Jun 2010. He wanted to wrestle, he wanted to roll around and be more active. He was in karate, he just wasn’t happy with it. He loves to roll and fight. He practices a lot at home so that’s how I get him to behave. Lee and the staff are great with the kids. I know my son can’t wait to come here on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They make sure no one gets hurt, they do the best they can to make sure the kids are learning proper techniques, and they are very good at teaching. Bring your kids, you’ll love it!”
Catherine Publico
for Perrier age 12 and Perrin age 8
“They started in the summer (6 months ago). We were interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which is a different kind of martial art, different from karate. The kids like the techniques that they are teaching and getting to hang out with different kids The are more disciplined, the practice their techniques at home, they like to practice the techniques that Mr. Lee teaches them. (To someone who is interested but isn’t sure) They need to! I was convincing all my co workers to come in!”
Brian for Joshua age 7
“Josh has been training here for about a year. He was interested in fighting classes and I thought it would be good for him. He enjoys the physical challenge, the instructors here are really great for him and he like them all. I can see a difference in his co-ordination and his listening. He talks about wanting to come to class all week, and he likes all the instructors that he’s dealt with. Definitely give it a try you would be happy coming here.”
Brady Goodin, 14, Student
“I’ve been training for four or five years, a friend told us about Mr. Lee’s place. My Dad has always been watching the UFC, he showed it to me, I thought it was pretty neat, I wanted to get into something similar to it, so we found Mr. Lee’s place, and I started training. Try it, you never know what you are going to think until you try, it’s a lot of fun. The school is wonderful, Mr. Lee is an excellent teacher.”

BENEFIT YOUR CHILD FOR LIFE
Have you heard that martial arts is ten times better than team sports for developing a child’s self esteem and confidence? Martial arts training is the fastest way to increase your child’s confidence, build their self esteem, learn discipline, all while teaching them valuable skills that will last a lifetime.
Are you looking for another activity to drag your child to a couple of times a week to get them out of the house? Of course not. You want to assist your child’s growth and development in the best way possible. You want them to be excited and enthusiastic about their activities. You want to give them valuable experiences that will be a part their childhood that they will treasure forever. So do I! In fact that is the only reason I am teaching. I want to create the best possible kid’s martial arts program right here in Baltimore. Let me give you a little back story.
As a child I was obsessed with the martial arts. I begged my parents for karate lessons and checked out every book from the library trying to learn what I could. I finally got the chance to study karate, and I was in heaven! I studied and practiced hard, and had fun doing it. However, in the early 1990s we all came to realize that the traditional martial arts we were studying weren’t so good for giving you real world skills. Although they were good for discipline and confidence, they weren’t so great for preparing you to deal with an actual confrontation.

There is a better way!
You can get all the life lessons on confidence and respect in a much more effective way through ALIVE training. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is perfect for this. It combines the honorable traditions of martial arts with the physicality of a sport. Add to that the fact that the skills are real world effective for self defense, and you have one of the most powerful self improvement activities around.
Before a match
Real lessons through real training...
A child gains confidence through the success or failure of their own actions. This happens in a fun environment where kids can meet challenges on their own. When your child is having fun AND being challenged, you have the perfect place to develop real confidence.
All of the other benefits of martial arts are here too. A child becomes humble when they lose a match and realize they have much to learn. A child builds focus by practicing a move over and over to get it right. A child learns persistence when they have to get back out there and try again and again. A child learns respect and team work because there is no jiu jitsu without their partners and team.
Maybe you have never heard the term “McDojo” before but it is used to describe the typical black belt factory: high student count, low quality of instruction, in a high pressure atmosphere designed to get you to sign a long term contract. As long as the money is there, and junior shows up, he gets a shiny new black belt in a few years. This school is not a McDojo, and you will see that immediately when you take your child in for their month free trial.

How could you teach ”real martial arts” to kids? I don’t want to turn my child into a violent bully!
We don’t want your child to be violent either. Of course, like any other martial arts school the goal is NOT to use your martial arts in a real life setting. For children, the training is more like a game where the child learns that the appropriate place for jiu jitsu is in the gym. We remove all potentially harmful techniques for the younger children. What are left are the solid, fundamentals that all martial artists must know to become successful. Bullying is reported to be on the rise in schools across the country. When your child has knowledge of how to handle a confrontation, it will help give them the confidence to prevent it from happening in the first place.
What if my child is too shy/overweight/un-athletic for something like this?
Martial arts are great for the shy kid who may be intimidated with other sports. The goal is just to get them playing along in a fun atmosphere. We keep it very positive, because that is what brings out the best in the kids. If you have a child that is shy, overweight, doesn’t want to do sports, or lacks self-esteem, then martial arts could be the best thing for them.
Give our month free trial a chance to see these benefits occur:
-
Shy children will start to open up. The will feel a part of a group, and develop confidence as they succeed one step at a time.
-
Overweight children will be exercising. There is no “riding the bench” at Baltimore BJJ, everyone is out getting equal time working hard.
-
Non-Athletes will be more active than they ever were before. Often it is just a matter of finding the right sport to bring out the athlete in the child
-
All children will learn self control, discipline and patience. These qualities are a must for anyone who does martial arts for any length of time.
Checking the techniques
How Do I Get My Child Started?
Check the schedule to find out what time classes are offered for your age child. Classes run year round, and are mixed skill level, but with separate age groups. Children can still get many of the benefits by training even once per week. Send us an email at info@baltimorebjj.com to let us know when you would like to bring your child in. Just have them wear comfortable athletic clothes.
Kids love to show what they know
No Risk Month Free Trial
Since I'm serious about giving you a chance to see what we are all about, we do offer a month free trial. I don't think one class is enough to fully evaluate the program, so we offer you a month to really get to know our school.
Recognizing the hard work
Free Video Course
I'm sure you've seen the video course we have mentioned all over our pages. We do that for a reason. The number one question we get since we've been open is "Can I have some more information about your programs?" We’ve put together a whole series of videos to explain what Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is all about, and what it is like to train at Baltimore BJJ. We have included videos of our kid’s classes and the kids in action as well. Put your name and email in any of the boxes, and confirm your subscription to get the inside scoop. Of course, the best way to experience it is first hand, so at some point you will want to come in and try our month free trial for yourself.
Proud big brother
Please Email Us with Questions
If you do have questions or would like to set up a time to come in, please email us at info@baltimorebjj.com. Over the years we have learned that the best way for us to get back with you is though email. We could hire a receptionist and play phone tag trying to get back in touch with you, but that is inefficient, and will add to your overall cost of training. It is much simpler and more cost effective to answer your questions via email. You can get a lot of information about the school from our videos as well. You may also come in to observe any class on the schedule and we will be happy to answer your questions in person.
Please be sure to submit your questions with an accurate return email address. Your return message will come from info@baltimorebjj.com, so please check your junk mail folder.
Thank You!
Thank you for your interest in Baltimore Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I look forward to meeting you on the mats.

If you have ever wanted to learn martial arts, this is the place to start. As a beginner, you have so many questions that you are not really sure where to start. I've answered every question I've heard in my 20+ years in martial arts and put it together into one course. There is so much confusing information out there in movies, online, and on TV, but you never see how real people are able to learn REAL skills.
Of course you can just go to class and learn, but there is a world of information that there isn't time to cover during the classes. Proper prepartaion and understanding will make a WORLD of difference for you, the new student. It could mean the difference between martial arts being another hobby you got frustrated with, or you going on to becoming a black belt expert.
