History
Originally from Brazil, owner Leonardo Delgado has lived in the United States since 2015. He quickly planted his roots and was immersed in the community through BJJ classes. In 2019 he achieved his dream of being an owner by taking over America Martial Art Academy. In 2022, the school took on the name Leonardo Delgado Jiu-Jitsu Academy and began to flourish further. Now, in 2024, the academy has moved to a newly renovated facility with the same purpose as when it began – to continue inspiring people and improving lives through Jiu-Jitsu.
