At American Combat Academy, we’re more than just a martial arts school – we’re a community of warriors committed.
WHAT IS THE AKA STRIKING PROGRAM?
A combination of Kickboxing, Boxing, Muay Thai, and Taekwondo are stand-up martial arts, or striking, martial arts that involve kicking, punching, knees, and elbow strikes. Our striking classes vary in intensity for all skill levels. From kickboxing to Muay Thai sparring, our stand-up classes will help you develop your skills and discipline.
WHAT IS BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU (BJJ)?
BJJ is a style of martial art that centers around submission grappling. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu combines original Japanese Jiu-Jitsu theories with a combat mentality, producing a sport unlike any other. Our BJJ classes involve basic movements and concepts, positional skill development, and live rolling. You are not required to participate in the live rolling part of class, but as we say in Jiu-Jitsu, “If you don’t roll, you don’t know.”

WHY LEARN MMA?
IS MMA DANGEROUS?
Like any physical activity, there is some inherent risk in training, especially if you’re preparing to become a professional MMA fighter. However, for the average person who doesn’t plan on stepping into the cage, MMA is a safe and effective way to learn self-defense, improve fitness, and build confidence. When practiced with the proper instruction, safety protocols, and technique, MMA training can be an incredibly rewarding and low-risk activity. You don’t have to get hit or take dangerous risks to reap the benefits of MMA—you can learn and practice the same skills as a fighter without the extreme contact.
