AMAC Gym
We have been teaching men, women, and kids Martial Arts in Boston, the Greater Cambridge, Belmont, Waltham, Newton And Watertown area for over 30 years! At American Martial Arts Center we specialize in practical self-defense only. If IT DOESN'T WORK IN THE RING, CAGE, OR STREET we won't be wasting time on it in our class.

We are a very Americanized version of martial arts and draw heavily on the arts of Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts, Filipino Martial Arts, American Combat, Western Boxing, and Bruce Lee's ART OF JEET KUNE DO because of their simplicity and practicality. Whether you're looking to learn self defense, or just get in great shape, we offer a program for everyone!

Your classes have helped build Kyani's self esteem and have given her another reason to be proud and happy. I hope one day we'll be back creating more wonderful character building experiences for all the kids. Thank you so much! The American Martial Arts Center offers classes for kids, teens and adults in a fun, encouraging and non-intimidating environment.
At American Martial Arts Center, we teach kids confidence, discipline and respect while having fun learning practical self-defense! Our kids classes are all age appropriate and address kicking, punching, wrestling and self defense! We discuss bully proofing, stranger danger, drug avoidance, the emergency 911 system and much more!
Muay Thai Kickboxing or the Science of the 8 Limbs is an awesome workout that includes cardio, strength and flexibility training while utilizing authentic Muay Thai Training. Students will learn proper kicking, punching, elbow and knee techniques, as well as sparring! If you want to get in amazing shape while also learning valuable self-defense moves, then this is the workout for you!
At American Martial Arts Center, we know that every student will have different strengths and weaknesses. Our job is to teach the student a wide variety of techniques so that you can be comfortable in any situation and then let you decide what works best at that time.

Our Self Defense classes for Cambridge and Belmont incorporate various Martial Arts techniques like striking, grappling, trapping/clinch, submissions, throws/takedowns, and weapons training.Unlike most systems that simply teach the same things that have been handed down for hundreds of years, the techniques in Self Defense classes at American Martial Arts Center are proven or discarded.
This calorie burning workout is an exciting mix of Muay Thai and Bootcamp exercise, set to music in a fun, safe, and non-contact environment! Students will use proper striking form to tone and melt away fat! Students will use bags and focus mitts, thai pads, etc., but will not get hit back in this class!

Bobby, Victor, and Jason are all extremely knowledgeable in Muay Thai. Jason gives practical advice that comes from his experience as fighter in the ring. Bobby can spot the flaws in your movements from feet placement to shoulder work, and he will surely lead you down the right path towards Muay Thai mastery. Victor is the best as he demonstrates the realistic application of Muay Thai. The gym has a great vibe of comradeship as everyone there is genuinely interested in self-improvement and mastery of the Muay Thai craft.

I've been doing martial arts for 25 years now....and this place is the real deal. Bobby is second generation student of Bruce Lee (via Richard Bustillo). No goons, no attitude, no "cardio kickboxing" at AMAC....just a bunch of good people training hard together and learning. Bobby focuses on the details, whether it's thai boxing, Filipino weapons, grappling, or Jeet Kun Do, the focus is on getting the basics right, this is the stuff that will keep you alive, in the ring, or on the street.
As a bonus, this same expertise and effective teaching method applies to the kids classes too. Using praise

Been going there for about a month now. I had never thrown a kick or punch in my life prior to this. It is a very relaxed atmosphere and the lead trainer Bobby knows his stuff you dont have to do anything you are not comfortable with and the gym itself is great

I've been studying martial arts at the store Joe sinks 1993 it has been the best experience of my life. Not only are able to get one on one attention through private classes, but the group sitting among the other students promotes fun, confidence, and a sense of achievement at the end of each class. Every day you can learn something new and apply what you learned the day before and weeks before.

I had no experiencing in martial arts and was a bit worried before my first class. But Bobby is a great instructor and I immediately felt comfortable. Great work out, practical self-defense knowledge, and plenty of laughter.
