Veteran-Owned. Family-Focused. Self-Defense That Works.
Located at 44723 St. Andrews Church Rd, California, MD 20619, Lineage BJJ® is Southern Maryland’s only certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu academy—founded by Professor Jim Thrift, a 5th-degree black belt under Grandmaster Relson Gracie, Navy veteran, and retired U.S. Secret Service officer.
Day-to-day instruction is led by Coach Kevin Southworth, a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt who teaches nearly every class—from Mat Munchkins to Adult Advanced. At Lineage BJJ®, you're not just signing up for martial arts—you’re joining a tight-knit, results-driven community focused on real self-defense, family protection, and championship-level training.
We proudly serve California, Leonardtown, Pax River, Hollywood, Solomons, Lexington Park, and Lusby. Conveniently located just off St. Andrews Church Rd near Wildewood—next to Ballet Caliente and half a mile south of Harris Teeter.
