Martial Arts in Langley Park, MD
Kids, teens, adults, and women from Langley Park train real Brazilian jiu-jitsu at our family-owned GFTeam academy in Takoma Park — about 2 miles from the crossroads of University Blvd & New Hampshire Ave, straight down New Hampshire Ave. Your first class is free.
Down New Hampshire Ave, on the mats in minutes
Langley Park runs on the crossroads of University Blvd and New Hampshire Ave — the Takoma-Langley Crossroads Transit Center, the shops and restaurants of the International Corridor, and the families who fill the neighborhoods along both avenues. WDC BJJ is part of that same daily map: our family-owned GFTeam academy sits about 2 miles south, just past the Takoma Park line, where generations of Langley Park kids and parents already train. Professor Deivid Dias speaks Spanish, Portuguese, and English — so the whole family can ask questions and feel at home from the first visit.
