Monroe is an excellent instructor. I have been training with Monroe since I was 11, so going on 10 years now. I trained sambo and judo since I was very young, and he did a fantastic job finding the correct approach and finding the right grammar and patience to teach me bjj and made it make sense fast. Monroe teaches jiu jitsu principles and is a very mindful teacher who goes much beyond the sport itself and understands deep occulted psychology of athletes. Anyone looking for a supportive group of competitive athletes Monroe hall bjj and American muay thai is the place for you.

I love this gym so much, I moved from Bel Air to Towson specifically to be closer to Monroe. Grappling for all levels. Gi and no gi. Very welcoming. Excellent open mats. Most fun group of grapplers I’ve ever known exist at this gym. Monroe Hall and Pat Mahoney are some of the most remarkable grappling coaches in this region. If you want to tap people and have tons of fun, this is the gym you want to attend. They also have striking at this gym.

My son has have been with Monroe BJJ for about 4 years now, starting with the homeschool classes. Monroe is an amazing teacher and just fantastic with the kids. I have seen him work with so many kids now as well as my son and his care and ability to adjust to what is needed is just top notch. We love the positive atmosphere and friendliness of the place. We are no longer able to make it to classes but continue with privates and I am so grateful for Monroe's BJJ to have such great people to help my son grow.

Monroe Hall BJJ is the best! We started as students in his homework class and we now are an all-access, 5-kids-in-daytime-and-evening-classes kind of family. The amount of emotional regulation and self control my children have learned in the last 8 months is amazing.

This guy Monroe is a professor of authentic Brazilian jiujitsu. Excelling at a level often unseen in today's BJJ industry. A month of frequent regular classes and a complete beginner will be at a level many people don't achieve in a year. I've known professor Monroe since 98 and he's never stopped improving as a student competitor and teacher. He never has drama with his self and conducts things in a happy days kind of vibe. So come on and train with the toughest nice guy in BJJ.
