This is such a great gym and great community, as a woman trying Bjj for the first time I was pretty intimidated but quickly made great friends and training partners of all ages and genders. Super welcoming and supportive community that I miss since moving away. The space is kinda small for the number of regular attendees, hope they are able to expand

Great school and great people. I've trained for 7 years and this is one of the safest academy's I've ever been to. Jay is a great coach and really cares about his students. I made so many great friends there! If you are in town, PLEASE check it out. You won't regret it!

If you have plans of becoming a martial arts athlete or competitor, you can't pick a better place to start at, or even further discover your journey at. People of all ages and backgrounds come together to one gym under one roof where we all practice and grow and realize we aren't all that different in the end. Some are stellar competitors, lifelong athletes, some are hobbyists, others are somewhere in between. But you'll learn quickly everyone shares similar goals and just want to help each other grow. Don't hesitate to try a lesson, I truly believe there's no better environment to be in and I'm more than honored to train at this gym and be part of the community. Coach Jay is a hybrid of a seasoned competitor and a leader people can trust time and time again. As a business owner and coach I have yet to meet someone cooler and more down to earth than him. Not to mention the coolest training partners I've got the pleasure to be around.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at ALL-AMERICAN MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! ALL-AMERICAN MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at ALL-AMERICAN MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at ALL-AMERICAN MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
