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!

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

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.
