Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Self-Defense
There is a reason why every MMA fighter out there practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu--it's proven to offer the most effective techniques for MMA fighting and self defense. Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a well rounded martial art and is considered the most effective form of self defense available. The police and military all utilize and implement Brazilian jiu-jitsu techniques into their training programs. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a form of self-defense that focuses on ground fighting and grappling. Techniques are based on leverage, balance, momentum, and require minimal strength to be effective when properly executed. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the perfect martial art for women, kids, and the average man because the techniques are NOT based on a lot of strength or athleticism. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also the foundation for those competing in MMA. If you do not know how to defend yourself on the ground then you really DO NOT know how to defend yourself.
In addition to self-defense, jiu-jitsu has many fitness benefits. It's a total body workout. Muscle toning, core conditioning, coordination, flexibility, stress reduction, and fat reduction are some of the benefits you will experience when you take this class. One uses every part of the body in jiu-jitsu--even the lungs and mind. After just a couple classes you will feel the difference this full-body workout can give you.
Our Brazilain Jiu-jitsu classes incorporate the self-defense techniques of jiu-jitsu as well as the sporting and fighting techniques. We teach jiu-jitsu with both the gi (this is the traditional uniform) and without the gi (submission grappling).
Small group classes as well as private one-on-one training are available.
Wrestling and Judo
While most fights end up on the ground, they certainly do not start on the ground. Learning how to effectively transition from standing to the ground with ease and superior positioning can be crucial in a street situation or in a competitive environment. Training proper takedowns and throws regularly is a must for the serious MMA fighter and self-defense practitioner. At Dojo Americana we feel it's important for students to learn and practice takedown techniques on a regular basis.

Muay Thai/KickBoxing
Our kickboxing classes are based on the popular thai-style known as Muay Thai. This class teaches you the fundamentals as well as advanced Muay Thai fighting techniques. Workouts include various warm-ups and drills as well as conditioning. This class is geared towards both the serious and recreational fighter. Muay thai is the perfect compliment to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and becoming proficient at both is a must for those aspiring to fight and compete in MMA.
MMA Conditioning / MMA BootCamp
MMA Conditioning (Boot Camp)--is dynamic, fast-paced and an incredible full-body workout that incorporates drills from jiu-jitsu and kickboxing. This incredible workout is popular with both men and women and is unlike any other fitness or bootcamp-style workout. There is no sparring in this class which makes it perfect for those who are a hesitant at trying MMA.
Pilates
Pilates ( pi-LAH-teez) is an exercise program designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body. Pilates is great form of exercise for all athletes and is a great way for jiu-jitsu and muay thai fighters to improve their game.
