When I first walked into Clinch Academy my freshman year at school at Hood College in Frederick Maryland, I was immediately struck by the family friendly atmosphere. Even for me, a young Collegiate athlete, the aura of entering a MMA gym seem kind of intimidating to me. But all that went right out the door as soon as I met the instructors and felt the vibe at the gym. Now, a few years later, I'm a blue belt under Professor Luke Rinehart, a coach the kids program, and I am an amateur MMA fighter and they're mixed martial arts program. The thing I love most about clinch Academy, is the fact that

I have been going to Clinch Academy since 2013. It can be intimidating walking in to a martial arts studio when you have no experience or no idea what to expect. The staff at Clinch made it such a welcoming and warm experience. I started out taking bootcamp classes and then started BJJ in 2017. You won't meet a nicer community of people elsewhere.

5 isn't enough stars for Clinch. I never thought I'd gush about a gym, but I am regularly awed by my experience here. The difference between a big chain gym and a family-owned gym is that when you're a member at Clinch, you are family. The owners, staff, coaches, even other members genuinely care about each other and every person that walks in the front door, no matter your age, size, fitness or skill level. They are versatile, with a variety of classes for kids and adults, encouraging, positive, friendly, and welcoming.
Personally, I have had some challenges since becoming a member

By far the best studio in Frederick. When they say programs for the whole family, they mean it! My son started last summer by attending a summer camp program, which was run extremely well. He lived it so much, he started in the youth mma program and really loves it. You can tell Luke has taken time to find coaches who genuinely enjoy teaching, it shows every week! Now I've started their Strikefit classes and using the gym facilities. Everyone is helpful and very encouraging!

You couldn't ask for a better place, whether you're looking for exercise, self defense or art. The owner Luke is awesome, and teaches more then just martial arts, and has strong core and family values. The rest of the instructor team is great and is enthusiastic about what they teach. You won't be disappointed, go by and check it out for yourself!

I've been attending various classes at the Clinch Academy since the beginning. Luke is a world class instructor, a loyal friend and all around good guy. The BJJ instruction is rigorous and deep, the fitness classes are fun yet tough, and the children's classes are an excellent way to help your kids learn self-discipline as well as fitness and self defense. Clinch is very careful to teach kids to not use their skill to bully others and that the best way to win a fight is by not fighting. Self control over oneself and one's words in order to avoid fights is the best way to go. I highly recommend
