MMA Pioneer John Rallo’s Ground Control Academy is Perfect for First Time Beginners & Professional Fighters!

John Rallo is the main architect behind bringing mixed martial arts to Maryland. He is a Renzo Gracie Black belt, and received his black belt directly from Renzo himself. He started Ground Control Academy to fill a void. Before Ground Control there were plenty of places to learn traditional martial arts but nowhere to learn authentic fighting skills from professional fighters and Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitors. Ground Control fills that void and offers a friendly environment to learn real fighting skills and also get in killer shape. We encourage you to see for yourself and take advantage of our FREE TRIAL today!

Ground Control has been working with 14 West on a corporate wellness program for their employees. A combination of learning technique while improving cardiovascular fitness. So far the program has been a home run. We hope to continue our relationship with 14 West well into the future. Thanks for choosing Ground Control to assist with your corporate wellness needs.
