The Mount BJJ & MMA - Mount Airy

The Mount is an outstanding gym!! I took my 6yo daughter to several gyms before enrolling her to the Mount. The physical space is smaller than others we’ve visited but the instruction is second to none. Coach Jim, Laura, and Amed are fantastic with children!! They teach them important lessons like discipline and accountability, which apply to both training and life in general. My daughter takes kids BJJ, Judo, and MMA. There are a lot of kids with varying skill sets so it’s great for all levels. She absolutely loves the training and overall environment!!

As a parent, finding the right extracurricular activity for my child was extremely important to me. I enrolled my son and daughter in the kids' program at The Mount, and it has been an incredible experience for all of us as a family over the last year of attendance. So much so, we enrolled our 3rd child today who now meets the age requirement. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. The instructors are not only highly skilled in BJJ but also have a natural ability to connect with kids. They create a positive environment that encourages teamwork, respect, and discipline. My son/daughter love the classes and looks forward to them every week! They attend as many as they can, sometimes 6 days a week. The curriculum is well-structured, focusing on fundamental techniques while also incorporating fun games and drills. I’ve seen my kids grow in confidence and physical fitness since they started. They’re learning valuable skills such as self-defense, focus, and perseverance. The instructors emphasize not just martial arts skills but also the importance of good sportsmanship and respect for others. Another highlight is the community aspect of the school. We’ve met many other families, and it feels like a supportive network. The school organizes events and competitions, which are great opportunities for the kids to showcase what they’ve learned. Overall, I highly recommend The Mount for any parent looking to introduce their child to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It’s more than just a martial arts program; it’s a place where kids can grow, learn, and have fun!

Absolutely love training at the Mount. My favorite part of the day is going to the Mount even if I get beaten up in the no gi classes or mma, I always have the urge to come back to get better. There is no better MMA gym with coaches like the Mount and no better mma gym in Maryland that's better than the Mount.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. I’ve trained for several years at many schools and Mount Airy is hands down my favorite gym ever. Friendly family atmosphere, new, state of the art training surfaces, immaculately clean, and some of the best and most technical coaching in the entire DMV. The mount feels more like a family than a gym. Childrens, kids, womens self defense, BJJ, judo, and MMA. no matter your experience level, you’ll love it here

Jim and the Mount are a wonderful community resource. Clients I refer there feel encouraged and never judged, which helps them stay consistent and refine their skills. The staff is professional, personable, and invested in people’s success.
