If you answered “YES” to those questions, then pay close attention to what I'm about to share with you….... because you’re about to get UNDENIABLE PROOF that Team Randori Martial Arts is the absolute BEST Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) academy for people like you who have a thirst to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a desire to defend themselves, their family and more importantly, have the desire to WIN Jiu Jitsu and Grappling competitions.

On top of that, I'm about to share with you the common problems that aspiring Jiu Jitsu students have when they’re looking for the best possible place to train in order to learn real Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and become a champion.

Here’s one of the major problems…....

With so many Mixed Martial Arts, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools popping up all over the country, it’s hard to make an educated decision when you don’t know exactly what to look for. The fact is, there are certain key factors and success principles you absolutely must look out for when searching for the BEST school to suit your needs.

Ask yourself the following questions:

💥 If you're going to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wouldn't you like to be the absolute BEST at it that you could possibly be?

💥 If you know you have it in your mind to become a CHAMPION, then wouldn't you want to give yourself the absolute best opportunity to become a CHAMPION?

💥 Wouldn’t you want to learn and train with the best?

💥 Wouldn't you want to get involved with the most accomplished Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in the Annapolis, MD area?

YES!

Of course, you would! That’s a “no-brainer.” There’s not a “serious” person on this planet who wouldn’t answer YES to every single one of those important questions!

Picture this…

You want to compete. You don’t just want to “go out there and see what you can do,” you want to WIN. You’re serious about training, and you know you want to find the best possible school that can suit your training needs.

Now here’s the big problem – the “BUT” – YOU MAY NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN ORDER TO GET THE BEST TRAINING!

You may know some of what you WANT, but you might not know everything you truly NEED to become a phenomenal competitor.

So, what we’re going to do for you is give you a list of everything you NEED to give yourself the best opportunity to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and become a champion.  This way, you’ll have the precise information you’ll need to make an educated and well-informed decision on where you choose to pursue your competitive dreams.

We guarantee that before you even finish looking over this page, you’ll know that when it comes to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction in the Annapolis, MD area, we are unquestionably the best. Yes, I know that’s a bold statement, but I'm going to PROVE it to you with what our instructors, and more importantly, our happily-involved students have accomplished.

Meet our Owner and instructor, Al Hogan…

On top of being a champion competitor, Al is also the author and producer of several books and training programs geared specifically for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athletes who want to become the best at what they do, like “The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Game Plan” and “The Complete Jiu Jitsu Blueprint” and many more.

Al is known throughout the Combatives, Law Enforcement and Martial Arts worlds as an expert in self-defense, controlled tactics, psychological & mental preparation and strategic game planning for combat sports.  He possesses a Master’s Degree in Forensic Psychology, is a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4, a combat veteran, a graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Academy, 2-Time International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) Masters World Champion and an IBJJF Pan American World Champion.  Finally, Al is also a member of the “U.S. Martial Arts Hall Of Fame” for his outstanding accomplishments as both a competitor and, even more so, a coach.

Al's accomplishments may be impressive, but in reality, what Al has done personally as a champion competitor doesn't have all that much to do with YOU learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or becoming a CHAMPION.  After all, this isn't about AL Hogan - it's about YOU and YOUR goals and dreams.

So everything said about Al's competitive background, let's scratch it 🚫 – because it’s more about what our students have done and are doing now on a consistent basis that will PROVE without a shadow of a doubt, that we can turn YOU into a champion.

This brings us to one of the key factors you should look out for when searching for the absolute best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools for people who want to truly learn and to compete.

When looking at schools, you need to ask this question:

“What Have Their Students Done?”

Good question.

Here’s the bottom line..... If the academy consistently produces technically competent black belts and champions at every Jiu Jitsu belt level, then it’s a safe bet that if you join that academy and follow their formula and system for success, you too can become a champion.

As the owner of Team Randori, I take great pride in what our students have accomplished and what our current happily-involved students are doing right now in competitions across the world.  Like I said earlier, you want to truly learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and want to compete.  You don’t just want to “go out there and see what you can do,” you want to WIN. You’re serious about training, and you know you want to find the absolute best possible school that can suit your training needs.

Why Team Randori Students Succeed

One of the reasons why our students succeed is because they have quality training partners to workout with every day and every practice. This is yet another “key factor” to look for in a quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy. It’s important to be around people with similar goals to you. It’s vital for any student or competitor to train with others who take their training just as seriously as you take yours.

Another key factor that ties into having awesome teammates by your side is having real SUPPORT. For example, our students support each other at every practice, every competition, every fight, and every tournament. They are there to push you to higher levels, to cheer you on, to get you going and be there for you through the rough patches you may have. After all, this sport is tough – it isn’t for wimps, whiners or excuse-makers. Our students feel great knowing they are heading into battle with their team by their side, helping them, supporting them.

Along with the support, you’ll get peace of mind knowing that you’re training with students who are DEDICATED to achieving their goals, not just some in-and-out wannabes who just show up on the mats here and there so they can tell their friends they train. Our instructors set themselves to a higher standard, and they expect the same from our students. In order to become a champion, you must have desire, you must have a strong will to win, and you must be dedicated. And when you look at what we have done as a team, you can see clearly just how dedicated we are to developing champions.

In fact, take a look at what we’ve done at 2 of the world’s biggest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournaments: the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) Masters Worlds and North American Grappling Association (NAGA).

Our Results Speak For Themselves

Here’s what all these team victories have to do with YOU.

Our formula for success is simple.

Proven System
➕
Quality Coaching
➕
Great Teammates
➕
Work Ethic & Attitude
=
SUCCESS!

We have a proven system (there's simply no better proof that our students success).  We have quality coaching (not only are our coaches champion competitors, they’re also champion instructors). We have great teammates (our support system is second to none and all you need to do is check out one competition team class to see the kind of quality training partners you’ll have access to on a regular basis). We work harder to transform our athletes into champions. That's the Bottom line.

Let’s get into some of Team Randori's success principles and why they’ve made us the premier Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in the Annapolis area.

The training we do isn’t easy. In fact, it can be quite grueling at times… which brings us to our next competition success principle.

Success Principle # 1

Work Ethic & Attitude

Here at Team Randori we take pride in knowing we’re training smarter and harder than any other academy in the area. There are certain “secrets” to our success which you’ll learn about on this website, but it’s certainly no secret at all that the #1 reason why we’re the best academy in Annapolis is because of our work ethic and our attitude.

Here’s why this benefits YOU. Not only do we push our students past where they think they can go, our coaches do more than just teach you. They train WITH you. We take a “hands-on” approach to training, meaning our coaches are on the mats with our students training and making sure you are getting better at the fastest rate possible.

Our thinking is that if our coaches work harder than any other coaching staff around, there’s no way possible for our students to fail.

We’re the best because we hold ourselves to a higher standard.

The fact is this:

While most other schools are training to be as good as Team Randori, we’re training to be better than all the other schools in the world.

Beware! Other Schools Will Flat Out LIE To You!

Another major PROBLEM that many aspiring students will run into when checking out schools they might want to join: many schools simply don’t have goals to be the absolute BEST. in the world.  A lot of instructors and coaches actually hold their students back by not “giving it to you straight” or by babying you, telling you that it’s okay to train half-hearted or not be as committed as you should be. They’ll make excuse after excuse for themselves as coaches, they’ll give excuses for their team not performing at an acceptable level, and they’ll make excuses for you as a student just to make you feel good. Or if you want to put it another way, that’s not so “Politically Correct.”  I'll tell you straight out they blow smoke up your ass so you won’t quit.

Not us. Not here.... If you have the courage to step foot into our academy and on to mats.  And you want learn and be the absolute best you can be.  Then we’re gonna give it to you straight. No BS.

Warning!
Don’t Join an Academy With The Wrong Mindset!

Here’s another PROBLEM that the “real deal” students get when figuring out which academy they want to join: They’ll get involved with a school that accepts just about anything.  Just going out to train or compete and losing instead of winning medals.  Unfortunately, many times aspiring students run into coaches who tell them that the experience of competing is just as good as winning. They tell them that it’s great to just go out to a big tournament and compete, that it's the experience they are after and not the win, because they lost.

I think that’s SAD. WHY?? Because by having that kind of mentality and preaching that attitude and mentality to you, they are actually holding you back. You’ll never learn.  You'll never progress.  You'll never WIN That Way!  That’s a problem, but this common problem can be solved by following our next principle of success…

Success Principle # 2

Setting Yourself At A Higher Standard of Excellence

If you want to learn or compete, you should want to be the absolute BEST. If you don’t want to be the BEST and if you’re really okay with mediocre or being average, if you accept losses graciously, then where’s the meaning? The coaches and champions of Team Randori shoot for nothing less than gold – nothing less than VICTORY. And yeah, sure, sometimes people fall short. Nobody is absolutely perfect in a sport like this. However, if you strive to be the absolute best, then most likely you’re going to have a lot of success.

A perfect example of a student who had the goals of being the absolute best he could possibly be, a student who had the courage to go after what he wanted and work hard to overcome his faults and weaknesses is a Team Randori grappler named Aaron Manck.

Success Principle #3

Surrounding Yourself With The Right People

If you want to have success on the mats, one thing you absolutely must have is a quality support system. You have to surround yourself with the right people who can help you get the job done.

You absolutely must have quality friends, mentors and coaches to follow.  Having said that, many aspiring students who never really had the success they dreamed about have this in common:

Unsuccessful competitors didn’t surround themselves with the right people.

If you surround yourself with mediocre people and are part of a mediocre academy… you will have the tendency to become mediocre. If you surround yourself with unmotivated people and unmotivated teammates... you will have the tendency to be unmotivated.

Unfortunately, many people who really want to be true champions make a huge mistake and choose to train at academies that simply don’t measure up. Many aspiring champions end up doing nothing because they messed up and joined the wrong team and associated with the wrong people.

Those people end up living the rest of their lives with regret and sometimes even shame after finding out they could have made maybe just one or two different decisions in regard to which academy they chose to join.

That’s a major problem and one that doesn’t sit well with us here at Team Randori. We hate seeing people lose on the mat and in life because they’re not preparing properly as a result of being on the wrong team.  It all goes back to this simple principle: If you want success, you have to surround yourself with successful, motivated people and coaches who have a common goal of being the absolute best at what they do.

You don’t have to make the same mistake that many other unlucky folks make when trying to find the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy.  It’s your responsibility as an aspiring champion to associate yourself with the right people. If you associate yourself with champions, there’s a good chance you can become a champion yourself. If you surround yourself with energetic, motivated and ambitious people, you will naturally push each other to the top. If you don’t, you won’t – plain and simple. "If you want to fly with the eagles, you cannot walk with the chickens."

As a member of Team Randori you can rest assured you are surrounded by the right people.

If you check out our academy, you’ll see how enthusiastic our students are and how strongly we stand behind them. You’ll get so much support during normal training and while preparing for competitions. You’ll never be without a coach, and you’ll always have people pushing you to new heights and helping you through your challenges. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Success Principle # 4

Being Committed

If you wanna learn Jiu Jitsu, and you wanna WIN, you gotta be committed. You can’t be a “TALKER.”  You gotta be a “DOER!” 

Here’s what I mean by this…

Commitment is something that all successful people have in common. Champion are 100% committed to their sport.

Here’s another major PROBLEM facing many people who want to learn and win Jiu Jitsu tournaments. They’ll join an academy that does nothing but “talk” about winning championships yet lacks any kind of true commitment to really doing what it takes to get the job done on the mat. Countless students join teams because irresponsible coaches make promise after promise but never deliver.

With Team Randori, what you see is what you get. We don’t need to promise you the world in order to get you to join our academy. All anyone has to do to see if we’re telling the truth is to look at our students' accomplishments. They speak for themselves.

Here’s something else you must do in order to be a winner on the mat. You gotta surround yourself with people who are committed to training YOU to be a champion. You have to be a part of an academy that’s committed to giving its students the best training possible.

Here’s how Team Randori is 100% committed to preparing YOU to become their next success story.  We have dedicated classes that will improve your abilities in specific areas, like takedowns (wrestling), submission holds (chokes, arm locks, leg locks, etc.), scoring points (sweeps, passing, etc.) and conditioning.  We have advanced classes and classes for beginners only.

When you start taking classes at our academy and begin your preparation to become a champion, you’ll see how Professor Al and the rest of your coaches are committed to getting you tougher, getting you stronger, getting you better and getting your body and mind hardened to be able to win Jiu Jitsu tournaments and matches.

There are a lot of ways to win in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but as far as we’re concerned, there’s only one way to prepare – and that’s with total commitment. That’s the only way you’re gonna have consistency built into your performance on the mat and that’s the only way you’re gonna have consistency to get what you want out of LIFE.

Success Principle # 5

Having The Courage To Challenge Yourself Everyday

Combat sports like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are tough sports. Competing in one-on-one sports like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is definitely not for everybody (although it should be). It takes people with tremendous courage to step out there on the mat and impose their will on their opponents.

There’s no denying that competing in one-on-one combat sports will be one of the most challenging things you will ever do in your life. For some people, it can be downright scary… which brings us to this big question…

Are You Scared Of The Challenge?

As a member of Team Randori, you'll be challenged every day. You can bet on that.

It ain’t gonna be a cakewalk. If it was easy to be a champion, then everybody and their mother would be walking around with a gold medal hanging from their neck.  It’s hard. It’s challenging. That’s the way it is and that’s the way it should be.

What you’ll feel as soon as you step on the mats as a member of Team Randori will be a great sense of pride, knowing that, as a student, you’re in the right academy, and you’re doing the right things in practice in order to become a champion. When that happens, you’ll notice big changes in your life on and off the mat as well in your body and your mind, which translates to an overall better quality of life for you and the people around you.

Now let’s try something.

Picture yourself at your first competition, winning your first match as a member of Team Randori, getting your hand raised in victory and hearing the roar of your fellow students in your corner and in the crowd.

You think that’s gonna feel good? You bet it will......

As a member of Team Randori, the #1 academy in Annapolis, MD, you’ll feel an enormous sense of accomplishment simply knowing you have the courage to step on our mats and give it a try. Not to mention the fact you’ll be part of an academy that’s 100% committed to producing winners.

So if you are serious about learning Jiu Jitsu and competing, wouldn’t it make sense to invest in a academy that will provide you with the absolute best training possible? Provide you with coaches that truly CARE about seeing you not only win but DOMINATE your opponents? If you accept anything less, you’re throwing your money away.

“Don’t Throw Your Cash In The Trash!”

Here’s another huge problem that many aspiring students who just aren’t “in the know” run into.

The unfortunate people who haven’t done their homework to find the right academy often end up paying for classes at inferior schools that don’t provide a serious student with what they need to actually learn and to win championships on a consistent basis.

They’ll pay to compete, but because they aren’t with the right academy, they get embarrassed, humiliated and leave competitions feeling ashamed and embarrassed. That’s like throwing cash in the trash.  If you’re going to invest your time, money and energy in becoming a real-deal Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, why not invest in the best? If you live in the Annapolis area, then the smart decision is right around the corner here at Team Randori, Maryland.

If you want to learn real Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  If you want to compete in grappling or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and WIN, there’s no better place to train. Give us a call right now so we can see if we’d be a good fit for each other.
