Testimonials

Participated in a self defense class with my job and had the best time! The staff were very nice, helpful, and professional. Best experience :)

So so amazing and lots of fun. I learned so much and will definitely be coming back !!!!!

Great lesson in self-defense! I learned some amazing skills that will help me no matter my weight, strength, and skill level!

I did a training and it was fun and informative. I learned a few moves that would keep me safe. I have a job where this could come in handy. I also do walks alone and I feel safer after learning how to defend myself. The instructors made it fun and I felt comfortable. I will be bringing my kids for jiu jitsu or boxing classes. I highly recommend to do this.

Ground Control facilitated a self-defense training for my job and we not only had fun, we learned a lot of relevant skills to keep ourselves safe in the field. Staff were so friendly and encouraged us (even tho we felt kind of awkward).

Great organization. Friendly and welcoming owners and trainers. My son is enjoying his time with Ground Control Hunt Valley.

GC Hunt Valley is top notch and a great school for beginners and experienced people as well. Their jujitsu coaches are skillful and informative. There are places where egos are "the rule." Not at all here, and the training is excellent. I've been a member for one year. Before that, a few other schools. GVHV is the best for sure.

I was visiting from out of town and had a great experience dropping in to Ground Control for an open mat. Everyone is super chill, no egos and great to roll with. I'm a white belt and everyone was really good working with me at my level and pointing out new moves/escapes/things to try that I never would've thought of on my own. Lots of experienced black belts around too who are down to teach. The owner (Mike) is super chill, passionate about jiu jitsu, rolls with everyone and is very welcoming. Great facilities too, spotless mats, super clean and everything you need to train MMA or BJJ. I almost wish I lived here so I could keep coming back. Great gym, I'd highly recommend it to everyone

My club at my university held a self-defense class and we could not have asked for better instructors! Dancy and Mike were both very kind and explained things very well for this beginner-level class. The club received many compliments about the class and asked when the next one would be, we hope to have them back in the future!

This place is awesome, I started my martial arts journey here a year and a half ago and have found a new sense of confidence and many friends. Much Love <3

Dropped in for Sunday open mat. While personally NOT a no gi guy, we were welcomed like family. Everyone was very respectful. No one was "head hunting". This is definitely a legit BJJ academy. The butterfly guard game here was amazing. Super tough room. I was honest with everyone I rolled with, that I was currently fighting some injuries, and was just looking for some mat time. This was respected by everyone and they just flowed. I will definitely be dropping in more!!! Thank you to everyone who i met today, and spent time with me on the mat!!

This isn't my main gym but is the one I choose when I'm in the area, every time. The gym is clean and well equipped. The members are nice to train with being respectful and offering challenging sparing sessions. Both owners were there both times I trained and they are really cool guys.
One of the training areas has garage doors so you can train with fresh air when the weather is nice which is amazing.

Not only would I recommend training here to anyone, I would go as far to say not stopping in at some point would be a mistake.

I began my Mix Martial Arts journey at this school back in May of this year when it initially opened and I am so happy that I didn't start anywhere else. The ethics and values of this school are astounding. If you're looking to get better in all aspects of MMA, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!

PS: I drive 40-60 minutes from home 4-5 days a week and it's WORTH IT!

Absolutely love it here. Dancy and Mike are both class acts. Everyone here is very welcoming. All the coaches are knowledgeable and teach techniques that not only work at the highest levels of competition, but are also beginner friendly.

I had a really great experience training at Ground Control Hunt VAlley. Very friendly environment and highly skilled instructors. The facility is top notch as well. I've been training for over 15 years and I would definitely recommend anyone in the area who is interested in martial arts training to check out GC Hung VAlley. If you're completely new to martial arts or if you've been training for years, you can find what you are looking for there.

Awesome facilities, Dancy and MIke are super friendly and enthusiastic, and went the extra mile to ensure everyone had a great time. Really cool spot to train for all experience levels!

Very nice gym and great staff.
