Details: Our Columbia, Maryland location in Howard County is conveniently located off Routes 29 and 32 for residents of or near Burtonsville, Clarksville, Columbia, Elkridge, Ellicott City, Fulton, Highland, Jessup, Laurel, and Savage. The Columbia academy has 7,500 square foot of mat space and is temperature controlled during hotter and cooler months. We have clean bathrooms and new showers available for our students along with ample locker room space for men and women to store their belongings, clothes, equipment, etc. We also have plenty of space for friends, family members, or visitors to watch our students train. Equally important, we work hard to maintain a clean, safe environment. Our mats are cleaned after every class, and we routinely clean and disinfect all areas of our academies regularly. Additionally, we have First Aid supplies on site that are replenished frequently by an outside vendor.

Kids Program Detail: Little Sharks (ages 5-7): For our youngest students, we limit the variety of moves taught and focus on core techniques and positions. We use partner drills and games to keep our younger students engaged and active. We want to keep them moving and help them develop muscle memory and situational awareness. Students also learn the three “T”s of self-defense: Talk, Tell, and Tackle. We teach our young students how to peacefully handle conflict with their words as a first option. In fact, we give them specific phrases and a body language to respond to common bullying behaviors. If talking is not enough, we advise students to tell an adult about the situation. Only when all other options have been exhausted, or physical violence is imminent, do we teach students to tackle and to use their jiu jitsu. Sometimes in life, the fight picks you, and there is no other choice but to defend yourself. Juniors (ages 8-13): Our classes grow and evolve with our students. In the Juniors classes, much more time and focus are placed on drilling compared to the younger Little Sharks students. This additional level of discipline allows us to show a greater variety of moves and techniques as we dive deeper into the realities of defending against more aggressive opponents. The three “T”s of self defense - Talk, Tell, and Tackle - continue to be emphasized, along with conversations about leadership, teamwork, and camaraderie. At Rising Tide Academy, we care just as much about fostering great martial artists as we do about fostering great individuals.
