What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jimmy Cleary
"Starting to train at Americana has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and it has had a huge impact on my life. Jiu Jitsu is a great teacher of humility, perseverance, hard work and community. Even though grappling is an individual sport, you can’t get better without good teammates and teachers. Americana has the best of both. Everyone is friendly and willing to help you learn and grow. You won’t find a better group of people anywhere. Whether you’re an adult or looking for somewhere safe for your kids to train, I wouldn’t recommend any other gym."
Matthew Thomason
"There are a few things that come to mind when I think about Americana BJJ. Quality is the first. The amount of black belts under Americana is impressive. Their instruction is top notch, as evidenced by the number of people that compete and win. Pride is another. I'm proud to be a part of Americana because the instructors create an environment of belonging and genuinely care about you as a person. Last is family. All of the instructors welcome you into their classes and get to know you over time. Add to that the intimacy of grappling with others and you start to feel like you are part of a family. The shared struggle of learning and practicing an art form to hone your skills and improve yourself creates a bond that is very unique. Andrew Osterlund and his instructors foster an incredible environment here, and if you can have the courage to walk through the door... you won't be disappointed."
Jessica Brandt
"My son has been training at ABJJ for the last year and absolutely loves it. The owner is a great guy and surely knows his stuff along with all of the staff from Tori to the folks training the kids classes. It’s been so nice working with them all. They’ve got such a good team that flows so nicely. My son is developing the skills to help him thrive in the world we live in and they’re really helping him to learn and grow as a Jiu Jitsu student too. Thank you ABJJ for all that y’all do for our youth!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Experience in Town – Unmatched Coaching & Family-Friendly Atmosphere! After trying every Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in the area, Americana Jiu-Jitsu is the only one for our family, where we could get all three of our kids—including our two youngest and our oldest—into high-quality, age-appropriate classes. From day one, this academy stood out in every possible way. What truly sets Americana Jiu-Jitsu apart is the incredible number of black belt instructors actively coaching on the mats. The level of expertise, professionalism, and hands-on guidance is second to none. The student-to-instructor ratio is outstanding, ensuring that every student, regardless of age or experience, receives personalized attention. Each lesson is broken down with amazing attention to detail and a deep, micro-level understanding of each technique. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced grappler, the instructors at Americana Jiu-Jitsu meet you where you are and help you level up with clarity and precision. You’re not just learning moves—you’re understanding the why behind them. The energy in the gym is supportive, focused, and welcoming. The coaches know how to motivate and connect with kids and adults alike, making this a perfect environment for families looking to train together or individually. Our kids are learning discipline, confidence, and real-world self-defense skills in a way that’s fun and sustainable.
