Andersons Martial Arts Academy Belt Testing 2017 - All Arts

From Anderson's Martial Arts Academy

April 2, 2017

Your lineage is your art, and your art is your lineage. An Academy with real lineage has a greater responsibility to teach and develop your skill and knowledge, as well as uphold the arts in all respects and quality.

As a student at AMAA you should know your lineage.

In each and every single one of our arts you will not get watered down technique, or be taught how to win a tournament without knowing how to defend yourself on the street. Furthermore, you will understand the arts specific contribution to the range in which it lives: ground, striking, weapons and so on. You will learn the ethics, philosophy, terminology, and exact syllabus of each art.

You will get the direct lineage and teaching of the art – and each belt and rank will be in accordance with your lineage.

As you go on to read about AMAA’s (and your) direct lineage please note that in the Phase (1, 2/3) JKD, Kali class students are taught all of the following ranges of combat and how to easily flow from each range: kicking range into hand range, hand range into close quarter trapping and grappling range, close quarter trapping range into grappling or ground fighting range. The use of weapons, both defensively and offensively, are taught in an easy-to-remember and efficient method of application.

All classes are kept small or provide numerous instructors to give students the individual attention needed to progress
Specific arts can be taken by students with a specific goal or interest
All ranks and belts at AMAA are given (earned) under the exact lineage provided below in that exact art

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
