Awesome structured class for our three and a half year old. Instructors are patient and would definitely recommend to anyone of any age.

I’ve researched various Bjj academies in the area and after reading some of the reviews decided to check out the American martial arts academy. I met with Jim the owner on his day off and I was not disappointed. The facility is new and very clean, he emphasized safety of the students and promoted an outstanding culture of excellence in the field of Bjj. Erick Raposo “Professor” is one of the best instructors I have met. He knows all the kids names and is genuinely an amazing instructor. I have two daughters that train here and they both love coming here. I highly recommend training here if you want to learn the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!!
