About Us
Opening in October 2014, Baltimore Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a certified training center of Gracie University in Torrance, California, offering practical self-defense training and authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu classes.
Owner Nick Tissue began training in martial arts as a young child. After graduating college, he began teaching karate at his older brother’s school in 2008. Soon after, he began training judo and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and opened a school in Towson, MD in 2010. After meeting and training with Rener and Ryron Gracie in 2013, he decided he wanted to open a new school in Baltimore specializing in Gracie Combatives® and the Gracie University System. As a Federal Hill resident for over 6 years, Nick realized there were no martial arts schools in the city, and he wanted to bring his love for jiu-jitsu to his community. A year later Baltimore Gracie Jiu-Jitsu came to be. In the summer of 2019 Baltimore Gracie Jiu-Jitsu moved to a larger facility in southwest Baltimore.
Nick wanted to shy away from the traditional competition-style schools and with the mindset that anyone can do jiu-jitsu, Baltimore Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has become a very family-friendly school, with classes for kids, adults, women, beginners, and veterans.
Our goal is to provide everyone in our community a safe and friendly environment to learn practical self-defense!
