Gyms Details:

Head Professor: John Rallo

Details: John Rallo is the main architect behind bringing mixed martial arts to Maryland. He is a Renzo Gracie Black belt, and received his black belt directly from Renzo himself. He started Ground Control Academy to fill a void. Before Ground Control there were plenty of places to learn traditional martial arts but nowhere to learn authentic fighting skills from professional fighters and Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitors. Ground Control fills that void and offers a friendly environment to learn real fighting skills and also get in killer shape.

Kids Program Detail: Our children’s’ classes at Ground Control are age specific. We understand that children of different ages learn differently. Therefore, our classes are geared for your child to learn the same as the adults do but broken down in a way that they understand. Our system of teaching matures as your child grows and moves up the ranks. Unlike most martial art schools where children only learn one specific martial art, kids here learn the following martial arts: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Karate (as a foundation for kickboxing), Boxing. Safety is our number one priority when it comes to kids learning martial arts. We ensure each child is placed in an age and skill level appropriate class to give them the best environment to comfortably grow and have fun. To learn more about enrolling your child in a martial arts class, contact us here. Some teenagers, depending on skill level and parent’s consent, can participate in adult classes. Some, not all.

Woman Only Program Detail: At Ground Control, you can learn practical self defense in a welcoming, comfortable environment. Unlike self-defense classes, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu strays from the controlled situation vs defense, and instead places you in grappling situations similar to those you would experience if something were to happen in real life. BJJ teaches you how to defend the unexpected. Moreover, a lot of people also don’t realize that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches physical, but more importantly, mental assertiveness. Making decisions for yourself, vocalizing them, and developing self-confidence are all tools needed to defend yourself off the mats and in real life.
