GREAT class! i feel better about myself and safer everytime i go, not to mention im getting in shape at the same time practicing the techniques. i love how no matter how many people are in the class the instructors always make sure to help everyone out and demonstrate the techniques over again so everyone has a chance to improve. Meeting the instructors with their experiences and sharing with us is great entertainment also. Thank you!!

***** - (5 stars)

Calvert MMA is a great organization. Lots of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Also covering self-defense(including weapons) and weapon retention. Great instructors that love GJJ. Classes are in Dunkirk(northern Calvert County) and start late, 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which is great for me being a family guy. (Saturdays 11am) Good group of students ... no thugs, tough guys or knuckleheads!! Large room with CLEAN mats. Price is very affordable. Lots of mat time.

Through Calvert MMA I had the to opportunity to train with Relson Gracie Relson Gracie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Here's a pic of Relson, myself and Pedro Sauer. This was the night Pedro received his Red/Black Belt.

Bug the Neck!!!

The instructors involved with this class are truly dedicated to their sport. Wether you are in in for just the competition or to learn how to protect yourself, you will absolutely learn at a rapid pace. Having spent over nine years in other forms of martial arts, this is a lot more fun and technical. If you haven't tried Jiu Jitsu before you don't know what you are missing. Calvert MMA is rapidly growing.

:sigh: It's just as far away as Lloyd Irvings.

I wish somebody would open up a gym in Leonardtown or lusby or something.

I can not say enough about CALVERTMMA and the instructors. I have been there for two weeks now and can say two nights a week, plus open mat on Saturdays is NOT enough, I want more!! Awesome group of people and instructors. I highly encourage anyone interested to come check us out and learn the best martial art in the world.

The instuctors always welcome visitors at the school. The first class is free + no contracts, so its a good deal compared to other schools. The Relson Seminars I have been to are usually only open to Relson Associations members because he normally shows a few sport jiu-jitsu techniques at each seminar which he only likes to share with his competitors.
