We practice a traditional based system of integrated martial arts called Okawa Te Bujutsu which combines Japanese Shotokan Karate, Japanese & Gracie Jiu-jitsu with kickboxing adding weapons techniques from Kali / Escrima and advanced shielding methods drawn from Justo Diguez’s Keysi Fighting Method creating one very flexible system that provides our students with an extremely effective way to defend themselves while getting in the best shape of their lives.
At the Beginning level we incorporate Surprise Attack Defenses from GRACIE® Jiu-Jitsu to prepare you to defend yourself effectively very early in the training process. As you progress to the Intermediate Level you’ll be trained in Kali / Escrima to gain an understanding of how to employ sticks and knives as weapons in order to become highly efficient at defending against attackers using them as weapons. Progressing to the Advanced Level our system gives you some of the most unique options known in order to deal with defending yourself against multiple simultaneous attackers.

Jiu-Jitsu for self defense as intended by it’s founder Grandmaster Helio Gracie.
​
If you are interested in a highly effective and comprehensive system of standing and ground defense techniques using the application of leverage to defeat larger, stronger opponents then Jiu-jitsu is the answer.
Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the official hand-to-hand combat system of the United States Military and self-defense system for law enforcement agencies all around the country. It is a proven and powerful fighting system, designed to be used against armed and unarmed attackers.
American Black Belt Academy is a Rickson Gracie Jiu Jitsu Global Federation Certified Academy featuring Multiple GRACIE Jiu Jitsu Black Belts under Master Pedro Sauer and Certified Pedro Sauer Brazilian Jiu jitsu Association Instructors presenting an organized and structured curriculum that ensures the most effective training system available.
Many Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA schools present techniques in complete randomness and use new students to be training tools for veteran competitors, focusing on winning competition and advancing the name of the school. This approach leads to a high new student drop out rate and frequent injuries. These instructors blame the student’s lack of discipline and athletic ability.
