The Mount BJJ & MMA - Mount Airy 1502 South Main Street, Mount Airy, MD 21771

"Came in for a drop-in. The instructor was knowledgeable and very welcoming. The mats were well taken care of, and there was a lot of space to roll. Class started with a warm-up, followed by a few techniques and finally a few rounds of rolling. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back."

"Over the years we have tried a few different martial arts places in the area and all of them were mostly about selling belt colors instead of teaching the kids how to defend themselves. We joined the mount about a year ago and the first thing we noticed is that it takes a long time and a lot of hard work to move up the ranks. I remember the first class my son joined, he learned more in one hour then he did in 3 months at the other places. On day one they teach you how to roll, pin, be more physical and most importantly becoming more confident. And for my undersized shy 9 year old kid, we could tell this was helping with his growth. We spent several months training there before we had to take a break for soccer season. Last weekend before a game this bully who is a foot taller than my son came up to him and said some nasty stuff and pushed him to the ground. As he tried to get up he was pushed to the ground again. My young son who has never been in a fight before immediately went low to this kids body, put both his arms around each of the other kids legs (who is a 20 pounds heavier then he is), used his own body weight to pick him up and slams the bully to the ground. By the time us parents ran over to see what was happening my son already had the kid pinned. My son gets up and runs away crying. Not because he was hurt but because he thought he was going to get in trouble for defending himself. I 1000% recommend every single person to go and train at The Mount. My son could not have been able to protect himself with out the instruction and leadership from coach Jim and the rest of the staff at The Mount."

"Amazing gym for both youth and adults. Clean, safe, fun and the instructors are top notch. If your interested in training BJJ, MMA, Judo, boxing this is the place to be. Both of my sons and I train here and it’s the best gym experience we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the Mount in Urbana"

"Absolutely love the welcoming environment, instruction and facilities of this place. After a week trial we knew we wanted to join this gym. I joined, and my 9 year old joined. The fact that he actually smiles and has fun here, tells me all I need to know about this place. Excellent instructors, who genuinely care about their students. If you are on the fence about trying them out, give the week trial a shot. No commitment. I promise you it will be worth it."

"Cannot recommend this place highly enough. I’ve trained for several years at many schools and Mount Airy is hands down my favorite gym ever. Friendly family atmosphere, new, state of the art training surfaces, immaculately clean, and some of the best and most technical coaching in the entire DMV. The mount feels more like a family than a gym. Childrens, kids, womens self defense, BJJ, judo, and MMA. no matter your experience level, you’ll love it here"
