What to Expect in a Free Trial Martial Arts Class

Stepping into a martial arts class for the first time can be exciting and nerve-wracking. At Ground Control Owings Mills, the free trial experience is designed to ease newcomers into training by providing open access to every class option. This approach introduces you to different martial arts styles and allows you to discover which classes best suit your interests, fitness goals, and skill levels—all without any commitment.

Freedom to Explore

During the trial, you choose one of the classes offered, from striking arts like Boxing and Muay Thai to ground-focused disciplines such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and wrestling. Some classes you may observe, and others you can join in the lessons. The session offers a glimpse into the techniques, drills, and workout regimens that define the class. Beginners often find this helpful because they can sample different styles to see which class resonates with them. It’s perfectly normal to feel a little overwhelmed at first, but our friendly instructors and welcoming student community are here to guide and support you every step of the way. All fitness and experience levels are invited, so there’s no need to worry about being the “new person” in the room. Our instructors tailor each class to match various abilities, ensuring everyone receives the right balance of challenge, safety, and fun.

All Ages and Skill Levels Welcome

Martial arts is for everyone, no matter their age or experience level. At Ground Control, classes are tailored to include a mix of participants—kids, teens, and adults—who are just starting out or have years of training under their belts. Our instructors create an inclusive atmosphere where younger participants can develop confidence and discipline, while adults can work toward fitness or personal goals at their own pace. Everyone is encouraged to learn at a level that suits them, ensuring no one feels left behind.
