From the reviews
’ve been training at Infinity Jiu-Jitsu of Maryland for 3 years now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Head instructor Mark Gornall is truly a world-class coach who brings unparalleled dedication and care to every class.
I’ve been training at Infinity for 1.5 years now, and it has been an incredible experience. Mark is by far the best coach I’ve had across all the sports I’ve participated in. He is extremely dedicated to his students and team.
I joined Infinity with my son about three years ago, and I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly and supportive community. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable environment for training.
I cannot express enough gratitude for Coach Mark. Since my son started training under him, the transformation has been incredible. Not only has my son developed remarkable skills in Jiu-Jitsu, but his confidence, discipline, and overall outlook on life have improved dramatically.
New to judo? Start at Infinity Jiu-jitsu and Judo
Infinity Jiu-jitsu and Judo comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never stepped on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and sensei scale the intensity to you. Second, you'll start by learning to fall safely (ukemi) — reputable dojos build fundamentals (breakfalls, grips, a first throw and some groundwork) for weeks, live randori eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps everyone safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and remember to bow in and show respect (rei). Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first judo class at Infinity Jiu-jitsu and Judo
Nervous about walking into a judo dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good sensei expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, learning to fall safely (ukemi), then drilling a throw or two and some groundwork with a partner — not hard randori. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a judogi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner judogi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own judogi. Live randori eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
