From the reviews
I absolute LOVE this place. 4 of my kids take classes here, and they have grown and developed so much self confidence from this Academy. The instructors are AMAZING! Brandon, Joe, Jamie, and Erik all have a wonderful teaching etiquette for kids. Professor Mike really takes the time to teach the lessons/moves.
I have been training here for 7+ years and have loved and appreciated every moment. The head instructor Mike Curran has been fantastic in explaining every technique in detail without fail and is always attentive to questions or concerns and answers with a true passion and understanding for martial arts.
As you consider picking up some new skills or a new sport for 2026, check out Hagerstown Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. I’ve trained at HBJJ for just over a year now, taking classes in BJJ, Bang Muay Thai, and MMA.
I brought my son out for a free week of classes after he brought the flyer home from school and he's been taking classes here ever since! He loves it! Trish, Mike and all the instructors are so patient and kind. The classes are affordable and they work with you regarding payments.
New to muay thai? Start at Hagerstown Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
Hagerstown Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Hagerstown Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
