His mission is clear: Making training accessible for everyone in the community despite age, size, and experience. He has seen it all first hand. Injuries, championship medals, multi fight one night tournaments, bloodshed, cage fights, you name it. Through it all his passion remained. I began my jiu jitsu journey May of 2016 under Professor Maajid and it was hands down one of the best decisions of my life. He helped me to understand the cerebral and unconscious aspect of the art early on. Of course I didn't retain 97% of what he taught but he stuck with me until I began to retain the info. I earned my blue belt under him in May of 2017. It gave me a new confidence. Yes, I've been a victim of bullying for many years in the past because of my size. A staggering 5'5 160lbs doesn't necessarily scream "Come at me bro!". That fear of being picked on by the drunk guy in the bar or the big dude walking around looking for a fight is no longer there. I can't beat everyone by any means but I can finally hold my own in the face of an altercation but I've learned to try to avoid them at all cost through his teachings. He helped me grow and practice a healthier lifestyle. His patience is unmatched and his ability to help you create your own tactics on the mat is top notch. He has stuck with me through the periods I was not able to train and all. Whether you're a 6 year old girl, 19 year old transgender or a 50 year old man, Professor Majiid welcomes each and every one of you to Mongoose Jiu Jitsu with open arms and a loving heart. I've watched the kids dog pile on him after a tough Saturday morning class simply because they have so much fun learning the art. He is a true inspiration not only as a professor but as a leader. The journey has only begun. Keep rolling everyone and hopefully you'll find your way to the mats of Mongoose Jiu Jitsu in Lawrenceville,Georgia. read more
