Head Professor: Nick Tissue

Details: Opening in October 2014, Baltimore Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a certified training center of the Gracie Academy in Torrance, California, offering practical self-defense training and authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu classes. Owner Nick Tissue began training in martial arts as a young child. After graduating college, he began teaching karate at his older brother's school in 2008. Soon after, he began training judo and jiu-jitsu under Relson Gracie, and opened a school in Towson, MD in 2010. After meeting and training with Rener and Ryron Gracie in 2013, he decided he wanted to open a new school in Baltimore. As a Federal Hill resident for over 6 years, Nick realized there were no martial arts schools in the city, and he wanted to bring his love for jiu-jitsu to his community. A year later Baltimore Gracie Jiu-Jitsu came to be. Nick wanted to shy away from the traditional competition-style schools and with the mindset that anyone can do jiu-jitsu, Baltimore Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a very family-friendly school, with classes for kids, adults, women, beginners, and veterans. Our goal is to provide everyone in our community a safe and friendly environment to learn practical self-defense!

Woman Only Program Detail: Learn how to neutralize the most common attacks on women ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and props, our techniques employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against a larger opponent. Beyond the physical techniques, our program reinforces awareness principles, risk assessment, and verbal and psychological strategies a woman can use to set safe boundaries.
