Laurel Martial Arts & Fitness

Welcome to 2nd Gear

Your home for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Muay Thai Kickboxing in Laurel, MD

At 2nd Gear, we use martial arts as a path to real growth — physically, mentally, and personally. Whether you’re starting fresh or building on experience, our beginner-friendly classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai offer a structured, supportive space to help you develop skill, sharpen focus, and build lasting confidence.

We don’t just train for fitness or competition. We train to become more capable — on the mats and in life.

More Than a Gym — A Team That Moves Forward Together

At 2nd Gear, you’re not just signing up for classes — you’re stepping into a community that trains, grows, and shows up for each other. We keep the vibe focused, supportive, and ego-free, so whether you’re brand new or leveling up, you’ll feel like you belong.

We know starting something new can feel intimidating — especially if you’re unsure about fitting in, staying safe, or finding the time to commit. That’s why our programs are built for beginners, with structured instruction, expert coaching, and a pace that meets you where you are.

From day one, you’ll be guided, challenged, and supported — not judged. Because at 2nd Gear, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about showing up and shifting forward.

The 2nd Gear Difference

A lot of our students have tried other martial arts or fitness programs before finding their way to Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai. What they discover here is different: a path that builds both physical skill and mental clarity — one that challenges you to grow, not just sweat.

Whether you’re here for fitness, competition, focus, or something deeper, our structured classes and experienced coaches will help you move with purpose — and push past what you thought you were capable of.

🔥 Transform your body. Sharpen your mind. Step into your next gear. 🔥
