Cochabamba Jiu Jitsu + MMA

Cochabamba Jiu Jitsu + MMA in Olney, Maryland, is built around a curriculum designed exclusively for children, with every program and lesson carefully structured to match their developmental stage. The school’s core mission is to provide kids with the tools and skills to navigate real-life situations, blending practical self-defense with the physical and mental benefits of martial arts training. Each program—whether rooted in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, or kickboxing—focuses on teaching authentic techniques and fostering genuine skill development, rather than just offering recreational drills. By rotating styles and movements throughout the week, the academy keeps classes fresh and engaging, ensuring that students remain challenged and motivated. Head instructor Brian Guevara leads the academy with a hands-on approach shaped by his own journey through the regional submission grappling scene. Raised in the DMV and competing at top-level tournaments, Brian trains under Greg Souders of Standard Jiu Jitsu and brings this competition-tested perspective to his teaching. He founded the academy after noticing a gap in how kids were taught martial arts in the area—too often, he saw instruction focused on entertainment at the expense of real learning. At Cochabamba, Brian’s goal is to instill discipline, self-confidence, and technical ability in every student, making sure they leave each class with tangible progress. The academy’s programs emphasize age-appropriate learning and personal growth, helping kids build strength, coordination, and leadership skills that carry over into daily life. While the focus is entirely on youth, the school maintains a safe, structured, and supportive environment. Cochabamba Jiu Jitsu + MMA is wheelchair accessible and welcomes families who want their children to experience authentic martial arts training in Olney.
