Adult BJJ Fundamentals / Beginner Classes

Begin Your Jiu-Jitsu Journey at Lineage BJJ®

Adult Fundamentals in St. Mary’s County (Ages 14+)

If you’re new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, choosing the right school matters more than you think.

Most adults don’t walk in looking to compete.
They want to feel stronger, more confident, less stressed—and to learn something that actually works.

Adult Fundamentals at Lineage BJJ® is where that journey starts.

Built for Beginners. Trusted by Professionals.

Lineage BJJ® was founded by a Navy veteran and retired U.S. Secret Service professional who understands pressure, preparation, and real-world application.

Our Adult Fundamentals program is designed for:

  • Adults with no prior experience

  • Adults returning after time away

  • Adults who want real self-defense, not just a workout

  • Adults who want structure, coaching, and progress—not chaos

You don’t need to be in shape.
You don’t need to be young.
You just need to start.

Why Adults Choose Lineage BJJ®

In a crowded market, structure matters.

  • Authentic Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
    We teach Jiu-Jitsu as a complete system—self-defense first, sport second—rooted in control, leverage, and decision-making.

  • True Fundamentals Program
    Classes are coach-led and structured. You’ll learn why techniques work, not just copy movements.

  • Gi and No-Gi Training
    Fundamentals include both formats so students develop real adaptability from day one.

  • Flexible Scheduling
    Morning, afternoon, and evening classes to support work schedules, shift work, and Pax River life.

  • Two Training Locations
    One membership provides access to Lineage BJJ® (California, MD) and Calvert MMA® (Sunderland)—up to 7 days per week.

What You’ll Gain From Adult Fundamentals

Every class is designed to move you forward—safely and intelligently.

  • Confidence Under Pressure
    Learn how to stay calm, think clearly, and solve problems when things don’t go your way.

  • Functional Strength & Conditioning
    Get stronger through movement, leverage, and resistance—not punishment workouts.

  • Mental Focus & Stress Relief
    Training demands presence. Most students leave class feeling clearer and more grounded.

  • A Real Skill Set
    You’ll learn positional control, escapes, and submissions that work against resisting partners.

No egos.
No pressure to compete.
No getting thrown into chaos.

A Clean, Professional Training Environment

Lineage BJJ® is a family-owned, professionally run academy, not a warehouse gym.

  • We use all-natural, athlete-safe cleaning products
