Provided by YP.comI started training at AMAA BJJ roughly six months ago. I wasn't sure what to expect at first since I didn't have any previous training, but that didn't make a difference at AMAA. Coach Fiore is very devoted to his team - on and off the mats. I started with the free weekly trial and was hooked. There are no gimmicks or smoke screens. You get top notch instruction the moment you walk through the door. I have a busy work schedule but AMAA has multple classes available throughout the week. The new gym is very clean with new mats and a proshop for all your BJJ wants and needs. I can't say enough about Coach Fiore. He is an amazing instructor/mentor and that is evident in his practices and life. I couldn't of made a better decision by picking this gym. Everyone is welcome and I am honored to say I train here. I highly recommend AMAA BJJ for all ages, male or female, as well as, different body types or sizes,
Thank you Hall for your kind words and review. We are honored to have you part of the team and family.

Provided by YP.comProfessors Andre "Tim" Monteiro & Jean "Dalua" Cartagena are superb teachers, coaches, and mentors. They go above and beyond to make sure that every student receives individualized attention to ensure success & achievement. I have been a student under them for over 5 years and has been one of the most rewarding and life changing decisions that I have made. Very clean, safe, positive & encouraging environment, comfortable parent & kid area, free WIFI access, family-friendly and much more.
This is my review of our two Black Belts who have trained and mentored me for years. Without their coaching, instruction, and guidance, AMAA BJJ would not have been created. They are the most amazing teachings that I could ask for and passing their knowledge and expertise to our team at AMAA BJJ

Provided by YP.comI actually found AMAA via Yellow Pages because I was searching for a martial arts school near our home. I enjoy Coach Jim's patience with the children. Really glad we chose his academy.
Thank you for your review and it is a enjoy to watch Ty in classes. He has improved so much over the past several days.

Provided by YPmobileAMAA is one of a kind. The instructor (Jim) puts his heart and soul into teaching his craft to his students. The commitment and dedication is more than an instructor or leader, it's family. Jim strives to learn more and better himself so his students receive the best BJJ and Judo instruction. Students respond and relate to him so easily. It's the place to be.
Ashely thank you for the review and kind words.

Provided by YP.comAmerican Martial Art Academy BJJ has been an amazing experience for my daughter. She is part of a team and family and gets to experience personal growth. The level of attention from Jim Fiore to the group and each individual child is beyond anything I ever imagined. I'm impressed with the excitement and enthusiasm my daughter has every day of the week when it's time to go to class. We've tried several extra curricular activities and none of them have compared to this program. Even as "the new kid" in class, she was made to feel like she had as much strength and potential as everyone else. I can't say enough good things about American Martial Art Academy and Jim Fiore.
Natalie we are honored by your kind words and it is a blessing to train your daugther.

Provided by YP.comJim Fiore is a master of his trade. He teaches to the level of the children instead of over them. This trait allows inexperienced martial artists both adults and children to thrive with success because he does not talk down but rather explains techniques in a way that is easy to receive. At American Martial Art Academy you get your money worth. Don't confuse this place with somewhere that just has children run around, you will see your child learn, remember techniques, and contune to growth each session they attend. Coach Fiore teaching level is second to none. If you live in the gulf coast area, this is the school to attend. At American Martial Art Academy you are just students, but part of a family that share like ideals that ensure success.
Brant thank you for your kind words. It is a honor to train your son!!
