Over several years John Rallo has been taught the most effective skills and techniques from Renzo Gracie in his Martial Art - Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. John has also learned from, and trained with, Sean Alvarez (Souler) and Ricardo Almeida, among many others, in their own brands of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
While refining and solidifying the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu platform, John has incorporated Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Judo, Freestyle and Olympic Wrestling into his training to form a highly effective art of Submission and Mixed Martial Arts Fighting. This training regimen has made the Ground Control Baltimore Academy a well rounded, complete, and respected training center.
