What age can kids start martial arts at Rising Tide Hi Tech?

Kids can start as young as 4 years old. Our Little Sharks program is designed specifically for young children and introduces them to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a safe, fun, and age-appropriate environment. It is a great first step into martial arts and builds confidence, coordination, and focus from an early age.

Do I need any martial arts experience to join?

No experience is needed at all. We offer a dedicated Beginner's BJJ course designed for people who have never trained before. You will learn the fundamentals at a comfortable pace alongside other new students before transitioning into the regular class schedule. Whether you are brand new to martial arts or coming back after a long break, there is a clear on-ramp for you here.

What martial arts programs do you offer?

We offer a full range of disciplines for all ages and skill levels. Our adult programs include BJJ (both gi and no-gi), Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA, and Judo. For kids, we have the Little Sharks program for young children and structured kids BJJ classes for older youth. We also run a dedicated 40+ Club for adult students who prefer training with peers in their age group.

Where is Rising Tide Hi Tech Martial Arts located?

We are located at 7030 Hi Tech Drive, Suite 100, Hanover, MD 21076. The gym is conveniently situated near Arundel Mills mall, making it easy to reach from Hanover, Glen Burnie, Odenton, Severn, Linthicum, and the surrounding communities throughout Anne Arundel County and Howard County.

Do you have classes for adults over 40?

Yes, we do. Our 40+ Club is a dedicated program built specifically for adult students in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Classes are structured with longevity and sustainability in mind, so you can train hard, stay healthy, and enjoy martial arts without the wear and tear of keeping up with 20-year-olds. It is one of our most popular programs and a welcoming community of like-minded people.

What is the gi and no-gi BJJ class schedule?

Our BJJ schedule alternates between gi and no-gi training throughout the week. No-gi classes are held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Gi classes run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. On Sundays, adults can train no-gi, while the 40+ Club has a dedicated gi session. This gives students the flexibility to train in both formats and develop a well-rounded game regardless of which nights work best for their schedule.

Get Fitter, Safer, Stronger. Fast.

Judo builds muscles you never even knew you had. It’s a full-body workout combining cardio and resistance to build lean muscle, fast.

You’ll also boost your energy as your cardio increases, boost your coordination & balance, and get more flexible, too.

These Hanover Judo classes are calorie-crushing, action-packed sessions.

It’s More Than Self-Defense. It’s a Way of Life.

In our Hanover Judo classes, we don’t just help you get fitter, safer, and stronger. We help you build life-changing skills to excel at life – in your relationships, career, and family.

Focus. Confidence. Discipline. Goal setting and more. Every Judo class in Hanover enriches you and makes you stronger – inside and out.

We also help you stay safe with real-world self-defense. These are tactics that work even against attackers larger than you.

Melt Stress. Relieve Pain.

An amazing side-effect of our Hanover Judo classes is stress & pain relief. The full-body workouts erase stress from your body.

The core-building Judo techniques help your body function as it was meant to – meaning less strain on your back, neck, shoulders, and knees. Stretching and muscle-building improves range of motion. Improving oxygen flow is known to reduce Cortisol levels, or stress hormone, in the body.

Plus, after such awesome workouts, you’ll sleep better too.

Make Friends, In Your First Class.

One of the things people from all over Hanover love about our Judo classes is the community. This isn’t some ‘tough guy’ gym where everyone wants to show off. This is a group of hard working, kind, focused adults. We all want to have fun, get fit, get safe, and improve our lives.

Having a supportive community of friends who share your goals is so powerful. It’s one of the biggest “hacks” to reaching your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Judo program in Hanover

Are these Judo classes beginner friendly?

Yes! Almost all of our students had no experience at first. Yet with dedication and Judo training, they’ve become amazing athletes. We’ll help you get there too.

What do I need to bring to my first lesson?

When you first arrive at Rising Tide Hi Tech of Hanover – all you need are some comfy athletic clothes and a water bottle. We’ve got the rest covered.

I’m not very athletic, will I feel left out?

No matter your fitness level, you can train here. It’s a group environment, but every one of us is on our own unique journey. You can go at your own pace. Some advance faster, others slower. That’s okay.

Will Judo help with ADD/ADHD?

Absolutely. While there is no ‘cure’ for ADD or ADHD, it can be managed. Our Hanover Judo classes help you develop the tools you need to maintain focus & concentration. It is especially helpful when you’re trying to do multiple tasks that divide your attention.

I have a lot of pain, limited range of motion and mobility – is Judo right for me?

Our Judo instructors are caring and attentive to every student’s concerns. Suffering from lower back pain, neck & shoulder pain, joint stiffness, or muscle weakness will likely not prevent you from having a fun, fulfilling class.

We’re not medical professionals, so any serious concerns should be discussed with your doctor first– but we are typically able to give you alternate exercises that don’t affect pre-existing injuries and honor your limits so you still have a great experience.
