Takoma Park kids learn BJJ, wrestling, and kickboxing at Rising Tide MoCo MMA — structured youth martial arts 15 minutes away.
Takoma Park's progressive, wellness-minded community values activities that develop the whole child — mind, body, and character. Rising Tide MoCo MMA, 15 minutes away in Rockville, offers a youth martial arts program that fits that exact philosophy: structured technique, mutual respect, and physical literacy that lasts a lifetime.
Our kids program teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and kickboxing for ages 5 through 15. The training is rigorous and real, but the culture is welcoming and inclusive — there's no ego on the mat and every child progresses at the pace that works for them. Discipline, respect, and resilience are baked into every class.
Many Takoma Park families pair the kids program with adult BJJ, kickboxing, or yoga classes for the parents. The whole family trains, the whole family grows, and the 15-minute drive becomes a meaningful weekly routine instead of a chore.

Absolutely. Our mat is diverse and welcoming — no ego, no exclusion, no expectations beyond effort and respect. Takoma Park kids fit right in from day one.
