There are several Brazilian jujitsu schools in Maryland.
I highly recommend anyone blind interested to look for the local Brazilian jujitsu school in their area.
There is a big difference between Brazilian jujitsu and Jujitsu. The sport is not for those that are not in some type of good physical condition and generally in good shape.
