It can take over 10 years to earn a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We have 13.

Founded in 2005 by Balance Black Belt Lee Synkowski, Baltimore BJJ was the first martial arts school in Baltimore County dedicated to practical, modern Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Today, the gym is owned and operated by Balance Black Belt, professional MMA fighter, and NASM-certified trainer Robert Sullivan.

Over the years, Baltimore BJJ has produced some of the region’s most formidable practitioners—and now offers much more than BJJ. Our classes include:

• Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Gi & No-Gi)

• Kickboxing

• Strength & Conditioning

• Wrestling

Our new facility at 501 Eastern Boulevard location in Essex has 4 large mat spaces and a spectator area where parents, family and friends are welcome to watch classes and belt promotions. We also offer a co-ed locker room, private bathrooms, showers and a sauna.

More than just a gym. A Community.

The diverse, friendly and ego-free environment is a great place to train; whether your goals are to win Worlds, get in shape or meet new people. At Baltimore BJJ when you walk through the doors with a desire to train and learn, you will have a place. We have men, women and children from a variety of backgrounds, and we're proud to say the people are what make this gym a community. Join us today!
