I’ve been traveling 2+ years to this gym with a 5hr round trip for my son to train BJJ. I’ve been to many BJJ gyms around the country and this place is home for us. The instruction and training partners are 5 stars all around. Prof Rick and Prof Lee have a proven curriculum that creates champions. No need to travel to California or NY when the best is right here in Baltimore.

Professors Rick and Lee are second to none in their dedication to their students and attention to detail. Form is a tremendous place to learn and train for both day 1 students and those who have been in the BJJ game for years. Classes are well-attended and includes plenty of time to roll. Everyone is welcoming, and there is genuine camaraderie. I cannot recommend Form highly enough for those in the Baltimore area!

A Professor surrounded by coaches so that your child can have both a team and individual take on the martial art experience. My shy son immediately developed a personal relationship with the staff. They were so welcoming and courteous towards his inexperience.For any parent seeking a team of expert level martial artist who also run a great program for your children, this is the place to join!

Professors Rick Slomba and Lee Rosenfield are incredible professors who teach techniques that actually work in the competitions. No gimmicks at Form. Always clean, always professional, always on time for the training.

I’ve trained at BJJ gyms all over the world and this one stands out amongst all of them. World class instructors, great people and a spotless training environment. It feels less like a gym and more like a boutique studio. If you’re looking to train jiu-jitsu anywhere in Maryland, this is the place to do it.

I am a petite female who has never done a contact sport in my life - until February 2020, when my husband finally convinced me to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Form where he had been practicing for over a year. I was super nervous and timid, thinking this sport cant possibly be for me - Im one of the smallest people in the gym, even alongside the older kids! Thankfully there is a core group of about 4-5 other women who are there most of the time who have helped me TREMENDOUSLY. If youre a female, I highly recommend Form. The core male students are great rolling partners too, and the professors will help you avoid bad rolling partner matchups if someone asks you to roll who really shouldnt be asking you. We all watch out for each other at Form, and thats a community I can really get behind.The professors, Lee and Rick, are world class. They practice what they preach, and are great at teaching techniques even to someone like me! I cant say it enough - joining this jiu jitsu community at Form has radically changed the last year of my life, and I wont stop. I cant. Its been so good for me, in so many ways. If youre on the fence about jiu jitsu, definitely check Form out! Come borrow a gi and do a free trial class. Ill see you there!

An awesome place to train! Very clean and welcoming gym. It feels like my home away from home. Professor Rick and Lee are world class instructors, who are guiding me step by step to reach my goals. I’ve trained at Form for about two years and never looked back. I highly recommend for both beginners and experienced Jiu-Jitsu practitioners.

Clean, friendly, welcoming environment. Professor Rick is a world class instructor and has the ability to teach in a way that all skill levels will understand. The other students make everyone feel welcome and part of the family from the moment you walk in.

I had the opportunity to train at Form for the past year and was truly impressed by the world-class instruction given by black belts Rick Slomba and Lee Rosenfield. The community is welcoming and has cultivated a positive, respectful, and clean environment to train. Whether youre a seasoned competitor looking to sharpen your game, or a beginner who wants to try jiu jitsu for the first time, you wont be disappointed by choosing Form.

Great gym!

World class instruction from a high level world champion. You no longer need to fly out to Cali to find this type of high level training. Prof Rick also ran the worlds best kids program during his time in Cali so your kids will enter a fun atmosphere that they can feel safe!

Very welcoming to new students. Coaches are very passionate and excellent instructors. The instructors do a great job breaking down each technique.Excellent culture and team members!

I dropped in here for a class while traveling for work. Rick and Isis were very welcoming. The class structure was really fun and i had great rolls. I will be back when I visit Baltimore again.

Professors Rick and Lee really do a great job at creating an inclusive learning environment for all students while still maintaining a respectable amount of competitiveness in their classes. As someone new to the practice of Jiu Jitsu, I can testify that I’ve made tremendous strides in my short time with Form that would only be possible with the highest quality professors. Anyone in the DMV area should, at the very least, stop in for some rolls.

I met Rick a few years ago training Jiujitsu.Hes a great instructor and a great friend.He competes at the highest level with the utmost integrity.I would recommend anyone in the area to train here.

I am a beginner so I took the beginners class with professor Lee .Professor Lee teaches in a step by step manner. He also provided different perspectives / variations at each step.Overall Jiu Jitsu teaches one to thwart an attack by bringing their opponent / attacker off-balance, into a vulnerable position. I highly recommend Form for their welcoming and educational environment.

Bright, clean, and welcoming! Form Jiu Jitsu is the best in the area with amazing instruction and has a well formatted class structure. It is a great place for first timers/beginners or for those looking to continue their jiu jitsu journey to really hone their skills-- Whether you are looking to really perfect your practice or get a good sweat going, at From youll get both! The professors have trained with the best in the world and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from these guys!!

Clean, welcoming environment, family atmosphere, top notch instruction. Best gym to learn and train Jiu jitsu in Baltimore.

Ive known professor Rick for years and to know his story is truly inspiring. Professor Rick is a world class athlete and a top notch instructor. If youre looking for a place to train Form Jiu-jitsu is the place to be.

I am a Baltimore native (5yr blue belt, currently under Roberto Traven) but now live in Atlanta. I called to inquire about classes as I wanted to visit this gym and also bring my brother to introduce him to the art. I never made it in as the customer service rendered over the phone was quite terrible.

Best place I ever trained at. Hands down.

So your new to jiujitsu and looking for a gym. Then you investigate the prices to save a dollar. Well they are all about the same price when you factor the uniform in. So what do you do? Look at the gym trainers, how fit do they look. Look at their achievements in sport jiujitsu. And investigate their FB and Instagram. Then get off the couch and go in. About Form Jujitsu, they have world champions in this gym, again world champions. I trained here for 2 months and got white belt nogi gold at my first competition. Also the mats are super clean, and the jiujitsu culture is well structured, so its great for kids training as well. The professors here care about your progress and are legit cool. There will always be an instructor to teach. They never take time off from training. Dont let penny wise and pound foolish be a thing.

Couldn’t ask for a better training environment. Awesome instructors, classmates, and location. I would recommend Form to anyone, regardless of skill level or athletic ability.

Top notch instructors black belted under AOJ. They are devoted to the art and teaching. FORM JJ ACADEMY teaches bjj, discipline and how to carry yourself on and off the mat.. OSSS.....PS the cleanest facility I have ever trained at ...

My daughter has been training since September and absolutely loves it. Rick, her instructor, is patient and so knowledgable not only about jiu jitsu but how to teach it. It is a clean and welcoming environment!!

A++++++ training environment!! Prof. Rick has helped me trenmendously since Form opened up, I recommend this gym to anyone in the area looking to start Brazilian jiu jitsu to get in shape, for fun, or to change things up in your own training.

If you know anything about Jiu Jitsu you come here if youre in Baltimore.

Excellent small groups very personalized and very good instructors ....
