The Baltimore Martial Arts Academy is an amazing place to train ! From the first day my son tried kids BJJ I knew that we would be members. Junior is so knowledgeable, informative, and always ready to assist or answer any questions you may have. The trainers are all hands on and really great with the kids! My son especially likes Mr.Darnel who he coined “the best teacher ever”. It is truly a pleasure to have my son around such positive and fun People. In a short time they’ve really taught him a lot about respect, discipline, and having good listening skills. I would recommend this program

I've been attending this facility for some months now and my daughter seems to like it. I can say I was not too fond of the facility but it grew on me. The instructors are very detailed and persistent in their teachings. I would like them to continue the mask policy as the pandemic is still well in effect.

I've been a member for about 5 years and am so grateful I found this gym! I take the kickboxing fitness classes 3 times a week. The instructors are friendly in all the classes, so if you want to try something new like Muay Thai or MMA you can! Everyone is super welcoming making this a great community to get fit, get active and have a lot of fun!

I went to Baltimore martial arts as an alternative outlet for my mental health from therapy. I tried a free class and the staff was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly. I decided to sign up for a couple month plan to see if it was for me and to get into it. I took 3 more classes and decided that, while I was enjoying my time there, I wasn’t getting what I wanted for my mental health that only therapy will provide me. I went to cancel my membership and Gary, the owner, had a short talk with me to understand my situation and gave me a full refund despite having already committed to them

Martial arts was an important part of my youth and I'm grateful that my kids now have the same opportunity. We have been enjoying the family membership for the past several months. My kids attend two classes each week and my husband jumps in on the Saturday morning kettlebell classes. Our kids look forward to their classes, they are gaining self-confidence, and get a great workout. The instructors are very personable and affirming. They command respect and self-control, and hard work both on and off the mat. These are values my kids can carry into any area of life as they get older.

This is a great place for those interested in pursuing classes for martial arts and overall fitness. The instructors are wonderful and work with all ages and skill levels wonderfully. The teachers stress technique and fundamentals in a very safe and fun-filled environment. They also have plenty of classes, so finding one that fits your schedule is not difficult.
