I am a petite female who has never done a contact sport in my life - until February 2020, when my husband finally convinced me to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Form where he had been practicing for over a year. I was super nervous and timid, thinking this sport can't possibly be for me - I'm one of the smallest people in the gym, even alongside the older kids! Thankfully there is a core group of about 4-5 other women who are there most of the time who have helped me TREMENDOUSLY. If you're a female, I highly recommend Form. The core male students are great rolling partners too, and the professors

Professors Rick and Lee are second to none in their dedication to their students and attention to detail. Form is a tremendous place to learn and train for both day 1 students and those who have been in the BJJ game for years. Classes are well-attended and includes plenty of time to roll. Everyone is welcoming, and there is genuine camaraderie. I cannot recommend Form highly enough for those in the Baltimore area!

A Professor surrounded by coaches so that your child can have both a team and individual take on the martial art experience. My shy son immediately developed a personal relationship with the staff. They were so welcoming and courteous towards his inexperience.
For any parent seeking a team of expert level martial artist who also run a great program for your children, this is the place to join!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
I’ve trained at BJJ gyms all over the world and this one stands out amongst all of them. World class instructors, great people and a spotless training environment. It feels less like a gym and more like a boutique studio. If you’re looking to train jiu-jitsu anywhere in Maryland, this is the place to do it.

I had the opportunity to train at Form for the past year and was truly impressed by the world-class instruction given by black belts Rick Slomba and Lee Rosenfield. The community is welcoming and has cultivated a positive, respectful, and clean environment to train. Whether you're a seasoned competitor looking to sharpen your game, or a beginner who wants to try jiu jitsu for the first time, you won't be disappointed by choosing Form.

I’ve been traveling 2+ years to this gym with a 5hr round trip for my son to train BJJ. I’ve been to many BJJ gyms around the country and this place is home for us. The instruction and training partners are 5 stars all around. Prof Rick and Prof Lee have a proven curriculum that creates champions. No need to travel to California or NY when the best is right here in Baltimore.

It is a great place for first timers/beginners or for those looking to continue their jiu jitsu journey to really hone their skills-- Whether you are looking to really perfect your practice or get a good sweat going, at From you'll get both! The professors have trained with the best in the world and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from these guys!!

I am a beginner so I took the beginners class with professor Lee .
Professor Lee teaches in a step by step manner. He also provided different perspectives / variations at each step.
Overall Jiu Jitsu teaches one to thwart an attack by bringing their opponent / attacker off-balance, into a vulnerable position. I highly recommend Form for their welcoming and educational environment.

Professors Rick and Lee really do a great job at creating an inclusive learning environment for all students while still maintaining a respectable amount of competitiveness in their classes. As someone new to the practice of Jiu Jitsu, I can testify that I’ve made tremendous strides in my short time with Form that would only be possible with the highest quality professors. Anyone in the DMV area should, at the very least, stop in for some rolls.
