PG County Maryland Brazilian Jiu Jitsu At BOWIE MMA

Have you seen YouTube videos showing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/BJJ vs other martial arts?

This is a personal testimonial by a student who trains with his young son at Bowie MMA.

My name is Chris Moline and I wanted to take a moment to tell you why I decided to enroll myself and my 11 year old son at Bowie Mixed Martial Arts. As a former active-duty Marine, I've learned that "tough guys" aren't always what they appear to be.

I've seen more than one muscle-bound man crumble in the face of danger... even the mere perception of danger.

I like to say - give me a pool full of water or an open door in a plane at 14,000 feet and we'll see what you're made of.

On Parris Island, I saw the big guys cry first... although we all shed a tear at one point or another because it was damn tough. I made it out as Platoon Leader (Guide) and gave it all I had. I've even seen grown men cry for their mother, although some cases were warranted.

Why am I telling you this?

Because I've found a group that's truly tough, but humble, fun and under-stated. The first time I met the head coaches, documented champions with skills to take on any challenger, I was surprised at their demeanor.

They were relaxed and quietly in control.

Then I learned more about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai and submission grappling and I began to understand just how talented they are, and why they let their skills do the talking.

It blew my mind.

I thought I was reasonably tough:

I came into the class able to swim a mile at a quick clip and run a few miles to top it off.

I could climb a rope to the ceiling hand-over-hand with no legs (in my sleep).

Pullups were no problem and 25-30 dead-hang pullups were just a small part of my workout (thanks Stew!)

I still had salty sparring gear in my closet from my days as a wannabe kick boxer studying Taekwondo.

I routinely jump out of planes for fun, and I'm not afraid of a mixed-gas dive below 120 feet in the wide open, salty sea.

And I did everything I was told in the Marine Corps and survived.

Nothing prepared me for the experience of having my own strength and reactions used against me. I was hooked from the first class, breathing like I'd just humped 10 miles with a 70-lb ALICE pack. My son, then 10, loved it as well and told me never to take him back to karate/Taekwondo classes... ever!

What am I trying to say?
