Bully Proof Your Child and Help Them Become Their Best
with our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA Program.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) has proven to be the effective martial art for practical self defense, and martial arts have proven to help children become their best. Our program is no different. However, unlike the majority of martial arts programs, our program is based on traditional Brazilian jiu-jitsu and MMA. These disciplines have proven to offer the most effective techniques for the most realistic situations.
Unlike Karate or Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu doesn't rely on fancy "Power Ranger" striking techniques. BJJ is similar to wrestling and judo but focuses on groundfighting and painful submission techniques. Jiu-jitsu techniques are NOT based on strength or athleticism, so it's the perfect martial art for all, especially smaller kids and girls. Techniques are based on leverage, balance, momentum, and body positioning.
But like many other strong martial arts programs led by black belt instructors, self-defense skills are only part of what your child will gain by training at Dojo Americana. Your child will develop tremendously, both mentally and physically. Physically you will see big improvements in coordination, agility, flexibility and core strength. Mentally, your child will achieve more confidence, learn about respect, have more self- control, become more focused, overcome stress and anxiety, and more. Your children will improve in all areas of life.
Through our program, your child has the potential to become their best. There's a reason why there are so many martial arts schools; because they really do help children with life skills and to become better people.

Black Belts in Martial Arts:
In Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the black belt is a coveted rank and is reserved only for adults who show true skill and ability. Black belts are not given to anyone under 19-years-old. In other martial arts it is common practice to give black belts to children, which can give kids a false sense of security. Naturally, parents want their kids to be the best and to have the advantage, however some parents push too much and want too much. giving a child a black belt is like giving a 4th grader a college diploma–it's silly. And martial arts schools take advantage of this and offer black belt programs. Giving your child a black belt only benefits the martial art schools that are making money off of black belt programs and belt testing fees. At Dojo Americana, kids learn what hard work is. They learn they have to attend class regularly and practice to get promoted. Promotions don't come quickly, but realizing you have the ability to truly defend yourself without having to strike an opponent will give your child more satisfaction and security that any belt does.u

MMA Pankration
We are happy to introduce our MMA Pankration class. In this class kids will learn basic MMA which includes kickboxing, wrestling and grappling–and how to mix it all together. Pankration is a form of MMA which is safer for kids because there is no striking to the head allowed. It also gives kids a jump start to MMA if that is something they are interested in once they reach 18-years-old.
This class is not Jiu-Jitsu. Our Jiu-Jitsu program focuses on ground techniques and some takedowns. The Pankration program focuses on striking and takedowns only–not any ground fighting. There is no traditional martial arts uniform for this class. Gym shorts and a T-shirt are general attire for this class. Boxing gloves are required. See pictures below.
 
Discipline in Martial Arts:
While the martial arts are good for teaching self-defense and helping a child develop, parents should not look to the martial arts for huge changes in a child's discipline if it's not being reinforced at home. First and foremost, parents with a child with discipline issues need to look at their own disciplinary techniques and other factors that may be going on in their home. It is the parents job to teach and discipline their children, not a martial arts instructor or their school principal. This can be said for health and nutrition as well. A healthy diet and proper nutrition is very important. One can not expect a child to make big improvements in weight loss and health, if they are still eating junk food at home and at school. Diet plays a huge role in your child's health.
You Are What You Eat...A Quick Note on Foods to Avoid:
For starters, anything with: High fructose corn syrup, refined sugars, saturated fats and heavily processed foods. Contrary to what marketing tells us, fruit juices, power drinks and most cereals are not good for you. Fruit juices are filled with sugar and some even contain other ingredients that are not that good for you. Gatorade, Powerade, Vitamin Water, Monster drinks and most energy drinks are filled with chemicals and synthetic ingredients. These drinks are worse than fruit juices. Many cereals are heavily processed and are loaded with sugar. Be careful if you're trying to llower your sugar intake. A great drink alternative after and before working out is coconut water. It's refreshing and has more potassium than a banana. This is what your body craves during and after working out. I also recommend Almond , Rice or Coconut milk as a milk alternative, especially for those who are prone to catching colds. Try to control the consumption of deep fried foods as well; many places don't use fresh cooking oil. For example, potato chips, french fries, chicken wings, onion rings, etc. They are tasty but leave you feeling bloated, tired and just downright terrible.
