Why North Potomac Families Train With Us
North Potomac is full of quiet neighborhoods and green space, like Muddy Branch Stream Valley Park. It's a great place to raise a family, and a great place to start a habit that keeps everyone active. North Potomac is a quiet part of western Montgomery County, Maryland, only a short drive from our academy.
Our academy sits in Gaithersburg, about 16 minutes away. You can take Muddy Branch Road most of the way, so there's no highway stress. Every class is shaped by IBJJF World Champion and UFC fighter Max Gimenis and co-owner Eric Philcox, a black belt under Max.
If you live near Dufief Mill Road or Travilah Road and want one gym for the whole household, we've got you covered. We offer kids jiu-jitsu, adult BJJ, women-only classes, Muay Thai and MMA, and you can test any of them with a free 7-day trial.
