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 the smaller-size man because the techniques are NOT based on strength or athleticism. Techniques are based on leverage, balance, momentum, and proper body positioning. 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!!

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 & Conditioning

Our MMA classes are ideal for those who want to prepare themselves for MMA fighting or for those just looking to train like an MMA fighter. In this class you will practice and learn techniques that are used in MMA fighting. You start standing and then take it to the ground. MMA gloves and headgear are required. It is recommended that you have some experience in grappling, boxing or kickboxing, but it's not necessary.
