Baltimore Martial Arts Academy 6565 Baltimore National Pike, Catonsville, MD 21228

"Have been going to this gym for almost a year now and it really is such an important part of my week! They offer a wide range of martial arts classes for both children and adults, and all the instructors are friendly and awesome. I joined the bjj classes as my 2023 new year's resolution was to try something new and get my body moving. I was pretty nervous to join as I had grown up being told that martial arts was for boys and that it wasn't a very feminine thing to do, but now having done both bjj and muay thai, I feel that the opposite is true. I have a newfound confidence in myself and a safe space/outlet to let out any anxieties I might have. I also really love the people at the gym - just so encouraging, kind, and I don't feel any sense of judgement when I can't do something right or if I have a question. I can't recommend this gym enough."

"I like Baltimore Martial arts academy because I love to compete and fight with others. The lessons I get taught at BMA showed me things I never knew I could do. The tournaments that I compete in are always full of surprises and I use everything that I learned in class to win the fight. My instructor Junior always makes sure that I am getting the move right so i don't mess it up in a fight, he also guides me step by step whenever I am in an outside tournament. I like BMA and I don't plan on leaving any time soon."

"My son has been in the kids Brazilian Jujitsu class for a few months, and I'm already seeing BIG changes his character. Focusing and confidence were not my sons strengths, but The Baltimore Martial Arts Academy staff has found the balance of patience and modest discipline while working with the kids to promote empowerment. My son can't wait for his next class and loves practicing at home. Outside of class, the academy offers additional events and seminars which have helped him grow skills and make new friends. My once shy and inattentive child is growing into a young leader thanks to Baltimore Martial Arts Academy!"

"My son is new to being a part of the Baltimore Marital Arts family. This is our first martial arts experience ever and I do not regret the decision to stand with Baltimore Martial Arts Academy. Mr. Garry and staff are amazing at keeping my son focused and interested. I see my son is growing and gaining higher levels of confidence that will benefit him at home and at school. The team is very attentive, respectful and encouraging when it comes to helping him come out of his shell. This so far is one of the best investments for my son's mental health and helping him form his identity. Thanks team ✨"
