Cost vs. Value
The popularity of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu continues to soar across the United States, and at Lineage BJJ®, we couldn't be more thrilled. As dedicated practitioners, we are passionate about sharing our practice and helping our members embrace the many benefits it offers. As a new school in St. Mary's County, we often interact with new students who are seeking the best fit for their martial arts journey. When they ask us what sets us apart from other schools, our response highlights the practicality of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, the inclusive community we foster, and the emphasis we place on self-defense.
"Protecting What Matters: Investing in Your Personal and Family Safety"
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu vs. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu:
What truly distinguishes us is that we are the only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) school in St. Mary's County offering authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Our training not only focuses on sport Jiu-Jitsu but also equips students with self-defense skills that are invaluable in real-world situations.
In the face of danger, it's crucial to remember what truly matters: the safety and protection of yourself and your loved ones. Sadly, many martial arts schools focus primarily on sports, governed by rules and time limits, leaving a void in legitimate self-defense training. At Lineage BJJ, we go beyond the confines of sport and incorporate the renowned Gracie Jiu-Jitsu self-defense program into our curriculum. With a tried-and-proven track record spanning nearly 100 years, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu equips you with practical self-defense skills that can be applied effectively in real-life situations. Don't settle for mere sports training; choose Lineage BJJ and gain the confidence and knowledge to safeguard yourself and your family when it truly counts.
Unveiling the Hidden Costs:
While pricing is a significant consideration, we believe in transparency and ensuring our students receive the best value for their investment. At Lineage BJJ, we offer various membership levels without hidden charges. Unlike other schools in the area, we don't subject you to increasing promotion testing fees, mandatory branded uniforms, or surprise annual price increases. Our goal is to provide a straightforward and cost-effective training experience.
Invest in Quality:
When it comes to authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Lineage BJJ stands unrivaled. We have a direct lineage to the renowned Gracie family, ensuring the highest level of expertise. Our founding instructor, Jim Thrift, remains actively involved in teaching at all our locations, having received every promotion directly from the Gracie family themselves. In addition, many of our black belt instructors (Mike Tran & Seth Caron) have undergone testing for their black belts with Relson Gracie, solidifying our direct lineage to the family. This direct connection means that the techniques we teach come straight from the source, guaranteeing their accuracy and effectiveness. Relson Gracie, who holds the esteemed 9th-degree red belt, has an incredible training, competing and coaching experience spanning nearly 70 years. He boasts an undefeated record as the Brazilian national champion for 22 years.
Furthermore, our academy is enriched by multiple high-level color belts who contribute to our teaching, creating a comprehensive and well-rounded learning environment. When you choose Lineage BJJ, you are investing in quality instruction and expertise. We have six black belt instructors with a combined experience of over 130 years, a testament to our unmatched proficiency in Southern Maryland. Our commitment to delivering professional expertise, unwavering dedication, and real-life experience truly sets us apart from the competition.
