Max and Heather at Shoreline offer, by far, the best instruction and environment I've encountered. The other belted students are also great teachers whether it's a class, open mat or regular roll. I joined Shoreline because they offered what I need that most gyms don't have; a purple belt female instructor with Muay Thai/competitive background, a black belt Gracie Barra bred instructor, an emphasis on mobility and understanding of deep fundamentals, and month-to-month contracts. What I didn't realize I'd also be getting was nearly private instruction, a view of Brazilian culture and traditional BJJ history, and a home/family feel at a gym that I've never had in the other many gyms I've been a part of (I move every year). If the gym size turns you away, your first step in becoming a better fighter is adjusting your priorities. There is plenty of space for great rolls and drills, you have the undivided attention of an instructor to clean up any slop in your movement, and you don't have a loud kickboxing class in the background competing for your ears. Your development is individualized on an actual program of building blocks, not a "let's learn a random sweep today" mentality. The cues and details in their brain are insanely helpful, and I've had massive breakthroughs in my jiu jitsu and overall athleticism. Bad habits I was always allowed to make that would've gotten me submitted or injured are getting drilled out of me and I'm gaining a LOT of advantage with subtle adjustments. Ladies, this is your sign to join. Heather offers insights from a really formidable background, and it's important to have the perspective in reference to a female physiology. You CAN toss around men who are stronger and heavier; she does it all the time! You'll learn momentum, mobility, speed and balance caveats that level the field. I started solely for self defense training. They're happy to teach to those parameters, but also are active in competing and refereeing, and I now am addicted to rolling and seeking comps. Your path will be respected. Finally, they're also just so much fun! Training can be frustrating when you're eager, but I've never left a class without a massive smile on my face.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, welcoming, family-oriented, and top-notch fitness, martial arts, and self defense experience in the Bowie/Crofton area.

Coach Jason as well as his coaching staff are excellent at teaching school age children and challenging them to be their best. The class incorporates the right amount of structure, discipline, physical fitness, and fun. There is always a good number of coaches on the mats so that each child can receive additional personalized guidance. Students are evaluated individually and promoted accordingly you won't get an eleven-year black belt here everything is earned not given. In addition to the awesome training environment the coaches are amazing human beings. Battlefield Jiu Jitsu has fundraisers and donates to charitable causes. The annual Christmas party is something that all the students look forward to every year. Battlefield Jiu Jitsu personifies the essence of martial arts and it shows in the coaching staff all the way down to the lowest belt student. If you are considering enrolling yourself or your children in a martial arts program look no further......... get down here and talk to coach Jason and start your 30-day trial ASAP
