Now I Got a Perfect Balance of Everything!
Ben comes from a background in traditional martial arts and was looking for something different when he enrolled at our Baltimore Mixed Martial Arts School. He began training when Crazy 88 was renting out a 600 square foot room at a local fitness gym and has seen the school grow to its current 6000 square foot location. Ben was also there to witness the expansion of the Crazy 88 BJJ schedule from when it consisted only of three Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes a week to the current 7 Days a Week, 18 hours a Day form.
Within the last year, Ben enrolled his daughter into the Childrens Martial Arts program. Despite not even being regular school yet, she can already perform many real self-defense techniques and also has lots of fun socializing with the other students in the class.
Ben is also an avid competitor and has fought in pretty much everything — BJJ tournaments, No-Gi, and just recently, he won his first Muay Thai smoker bout by 2nd round KO.
Mike is a veteran of the US military having served four years as a member of the Marine Corps. Currently working in the finance sector, he is a very busy individual, often traveling from Maryland to New York and back in the same day. Yet Mike still makes time to come in and get his martial arts training in. Mike focuses primarily on Muay Thai Kickboxing and is currently training for his first amateur smoker bout.
Mike loves the friendliness of the other students as well as the solid rapport between the coaching staff and the students. After all, its not just the techniques that keep people training but the relationships they build. We are proud to have Mike as part of our family.

Who Are We?
Crazy 88 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a 6000 sq. ft. Martial Arts facility located conveniently between Baltimore and Columbia Maryland. We specialize in teaching:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) – Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport and a form of self-defense that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themself against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique — most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be trained for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense.

Muay Thai Kickboxing – Developed in Thailand, the art of Muay Thai aka “Thai Boxing” is the National Sport of Thailand and has already gained popularity and recognition in the US and internationally. There are five major components to Thai Boxing: (1) Punches, (2) Kicks, (3) Knees, (4) Elbows, and (5) Clinching. Students interested in concentrating on full contact stand-up techniques and looking to get in the best shape of their life should look no further than our highly effective Thai Kickboxing program.

I Started Jiu-Jitsu Because I’m A Local Military Guy And I Was Watching Some Of The Army Combatives And Wanted To Get Into Something a Little More Intense!
I Was Really Worried the First Class I Showed Up To, That Being the New Kid, No One Would Be Willing To Work With Me Or Take Things Slower So I Could Keep Up But It Was Just The Opposite!
I started taking Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Crazy 88 in May 2009 at the age of 41, having never done anything athletic in my life, much less a competitive martial art. Little did I know that Crazy 88 would quickly become my home away from home, and its members my extended family.
