Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Self-Defense

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a form of self-defense that focuses on ground fighting and grappling. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the perfect martial art for women, kids, and smaller-sized men because the techniques are NOT based on strength or athleticism. Techniques are based on leverage, balance, momentum, and proper body positioning. The Gracie family from Brazil has proven that jiu-jitsu is the most effective martial art in the World.

There is a reason why every serious MMA fighter athlete practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu--it's proven to offer the most effective techniques for self defense and street fighting. Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a complete 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.

There are also many fitness benefits to training jiu-jitsu. It's a total body workout. Muscle toning, core conditioning, coordination, and flexibility will all improve when you practice and train jiu-jitsu. You will also reduce stress and lose fat and weight. Learning jiu-jitsu will transform your mind and body. Give it a try. You will be enlightened!!

The following link is from our Monday evening no-gi jiu-jitsu class.

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 Training

Dojo Americana offers MMA classes specifically for those who want to train like a real MMA fighter and/or want to get ready for cage competition. In this class you will learn specific techniques needed to compete in MMA competition. In addition, you will participate in a variety of conditioning drills specifically designed for MMA athletes. Must be enrolled in our jiu-jitsu program to participate in the MMA classes.thai
