Martial Arts Near Glen Burnie, MD — Real Training at Rising Tide Hi Tech in Hanover

If you live in Glen Burnie and you’re looking for martial arts training that doesn’t mess around, Rising Tide Hi Tech in Hanover is worth the short drive. We’re just minutes away, and we offer a full lineup of kids and adult programs — BJJ, boxing, Muay Thai, and more — taught by coaches who know what they’re doing on the mat.

No gimmicks. No contracts pushed on day one. Just solid training for people who want to get after it.

Kids Programs in Glen Burnie Area

Parents in and around Glen Burnie know that kids need structure and a challenge. Martial arts provides both — and ours are run by coaches who expect something from every student.

Little Sharks (Ages 5-7) is where the youngest students start. Short, focused classes that teach listening, coordination, and the basics of movement on the mat. Kids this age absorb everything, and we make the most of that.

Junior BJJ (Ages 7-13) is our core kids program. Brazilian jiu-jitsu teaches kids how to stay calm under pressure, think through a problem, and work through difficulty without giving up. The techniques are real, the sparring is controlled, and the progress is visible.

We also run Kids Muay Thai and Kids Boxing for students who want to develop on their feet, and a Kids Competition Class for those who want to take it to the next level and compete.

Kids who train here build confidence and discipline — not the surface-level kind, but the kind that comes from actually learning a hard skill and putting in the work.

Adult Training: BJJ, Boxing, Muay Thai, and More

Glen Burnie has no shortage of adults who work hard and want a training environment that matches that energy. Here’s what we offer:

  • BJJ (All Levels): Brazilian jiu-jitsu is the foundation of the academy. It’s a grappling art that works through leverage and technique — not size. If you’ve never trained before, you’re not behind. Everyone starts somewhere.
  • Beginner’s BJJ Course: A structured on-ramp for adults with zero experience. Learn the fundamentals before jumping into open classes.
  • Boxing: Fundamentals-focused, technique-driven. A great standalone training option or complement to BJJ.
  • Muay Thai: Striking on feet, with knees and elbows. One of the most complete stand-up arts available.
  • MMA: For those who want to put it all together — grappling, striking, takedowns.
  • 40+ Club: Designed specifically for adults over 40 who want to train consistently and intelligently over the long term.

Schedule: No-Gi runs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Gi runs Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Sundays offer adult No-Gi and 40+ Gi at 10am.

Community Sparring is every Wednesday at 7pm — open to all practitioners, all backgrounds.
