About Us

The Academy of Kuntao Jiu-Jitsu is located in Cranston, Rhode Island. Our style of Kuntao Jiu-Jitsu specializes in Realistic Self-Defense, Fitness, and Self Protection for Adults and Children ages seven and older. The instruction at the Academy is conducted in a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere while focusing on teaching the most effective concepts and techniques that you, the student, will need to defend yourself. Students who train at the Academy learn self-defense concepts such as being aware of your surroundings, trusting your intuition, how to verbally defuse an escalating situation, and how to avoid becoming a victim. The physical aspect of our art includes teaching the student how to effectively strike an adversary, ground survival techniques, and defenses from common choking, grabbing, and punching attacks - all performed using our scenario based training program.
