Takoma Park residents train Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling at Rising Tide MoCo MMA — a 15-minute drive for grappling that's as much about health as it is about skill.
Takoma Park's wellness-minded community looks at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the way it looks at yoga, cycling, and the Takoma Park Co-op — as a long-term investment in physical and mental health. Rising Tide MoCo MMA, about 15 minutes away in Rockville, is where many Takoma Park residents go when they're ready to add real grappling to their wellness practice.
Our BJJ program is built for sustainable, lifelong training. Beginners learn safe escapes, frames, and posture before progressing to sweeps and submissions. Wrestling adds takedowns and top pressure that round out the grappling picture. The pace is steady — we want you training BJJ in 10 years, not burned out in 6 months.
Many of our Takoma Park members also train in our yoga program, using the two together to build flexibility, recovery, and resilience. Grappling takes you to the edge; yoga brings you back. That combination is one of the most popular reasons Takoma Park residents commit to Rising Tide.
