Claim this gymThe BJJ Academy of Southern Maryland is led by John Coller, a 4th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, as well as a 4th degree black belt in Judo with the United States Judo Association. Coller’s extensive martial arts background includes training with notable instructors such as Eddie Bravo and Saulo Ribeiro in jiu-jitsu and Jason Morris in judo. Alongside Coller, the academy’s coaching staff features Jeff Mathews, a 4th degree black belt since 2019 with a teaching background informed by a master’s degree in education, and Bill McElhaney, a 2nd degree black belt in judo with over 25 years of experience competing and coaching. Beau Perrizo, a 5th degree black belt with a history of competition and coaching since the early 2000s, also contributes to the instruction. Training at the academy integrates Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with traditional judo, emphasizing the technical details of throws, submissions, and positional control. Classes accommodate juniors aged 6 to 12 with gi training, while teens and adults train in gi-focused jiu-jitsu fundamentals and advanced classes. The school offers judo classes year-round for all ages, maintaining a consistent gi practice. Open mat sessions provide additional time for students to drill and spar beyond scheduled classes. Private lessons are available by appointment for personalized instruction. Students are encouraged to attend between eight and twelve classes monthly to progress steadily within the system. The academy follows Charles County public school closures for inclement weather and closes on most federal holidays. Located in White Plains, Maryland, the school maintains a focus on detailed technique development and practical application, drawing on decades of combined experience from instructors deeply rooted in both judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu traditions.
