Founded in 2005 by fourth-degree black belt Lee Synkowski and currently owned by black belt Rob Sullivan, the academy provides Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction, mixed martial arts training, and kickboxing classes for students across the Baltimore area. Instruction at the academy is headed by black belt instructor Chris Balint alongside a team of experienced black belt coaches.
