The Baltimore Martial Arts Academy  was founded by owner and instructor Gary Berger in November 1994. In the beginning, Mr. Berger’s dojo resided inside the Baltimore Judo Club in Catonsville, Maryland, where he taught classes in adult Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Arnis, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Children’s Kung Fu.

In time, Mr. Berger met other professional martial artists, each with unique talents in their respective fields, and he invited many of these instructors to become full-time and part-time instructors at the academy.

Baltimore Martial Arts Academy has a wide variety of martial arts and fitness programs & we are adding new programs all of the time. As a member you are allowed to mix and match to your preference.

At Baltimore Martial Arts we offer professional martial-arts & fitness instruction in a relaxed, safe, and fun atmosphere. While we do observe tradition, we are not drill sergeants. We treat each person with utmost respect. Our goal is to instill a love and respect for the martial arts that will lead to confidence and personal growth — both physically and mentally. Our work ethic and our enthusiasm for teaching martial arts leaves no room for inflated egos or harsh criticism.

Baltimore Martial Arts Academy offers a schedule to fit everyone’s busy lifestyle.
