DANVILLEMARTIAL ARTS ACADEMYDANVILLE MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY
Martial arts programs for kids, teens and adults — from first-time beginners to experienced competitors.
OUR PROGRAMS
Every program is built around progressive instruction, useful movement, teamwork and the confidence that comes from learning something difficult.
Our core grappling program teaches students how to solve problems from standing and on the ground. Training develops positional control, escapes, sweeps, takedowns, submissions and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
Judo builds balance, timing, grip fighting, throws, breakfalls and practical grappling movement. It is a natural complement to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a great way to develop athletic confidence.
For students who want to test their skills in tournaments, additional preparation focuses on drilling, strategy, live rounds, match awareness and preparing with teammates.
THE DMA METHOD
Our Jiu-Jitsu training uses a simple mental model: survive the problem, create space, improve your position, then attack when the opportunity is there.
