The Adult Mixed Martial Arts Program at Daniel Sterling Martial Arts and Fitness provides the opportunity to learn mixed martial arts in a comfortable but challenging atmosphere. Our curriculum, which is a blend of various martial arts, is designed to give you the best and most complete instruction possible. Each discipline contributes a unique aspect to your training, making you a well rounded martial artist.

Additionally, what you will discover is that martial arts can provide an unparalleled workout. This type of training is something that cannot be found in any gym or fitness club. In each class you are learning a new kick, punch, drill, boxing pattern or self defense technique –each workout is different, exciting, practical, and taking you one stop closer to achieving your goals.

At the North Attleboro Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Submission Wrestling. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling art that was popularized in America by the legendary Gracie family. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu concentrates on dominating your opponent by using angles, leverage, and superior body positioning to control an opponent’s body movement. A person that has a superior position is in a better situation to apply a finishing hold or to start striking. This style allows for a smaller person to defeat a much larger attacker. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is excellent for women who are often taken to the ground during assaults. We recommend this style for men, women, and children looking for a great workout and realistic self-defense. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is similar and, in some cases, both supplementary and complementary to the Olympic Sport of Judo. In our curriculum, we believe that it is not only important to control our opponent on the ground, but also on our feet. Therefore, we have taken the proactive approach of marrying the arts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Submission Wrestling.

Master Robson Moura has brought his unique view of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from the tough streets of Brazil to North America. Our students have been well taught to defend themselves in dangerous situations against bigger attackers.

Our focus is to study self-defense from a variety of disciplines, and gear all our training towards realistic self-defense situations, as opposed to training for sport-style martial arts. While sport-oriented training is invaluable, and we do compete in various tournaments, the main drive of our training is best summed up by Guro Richardson’s “Four Guiding Principles of Jeet Kune Do Unlimited.”

1. WE TRAIN FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR STREET SELF-DEFENSE.
2. WE TRAIN WITH PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE.
3. WE TRAIN AS COMPLETE SELF-DEFENSE ATHLETES.
4. HAVE FUN!

The school of Borges Karate Jiu-Jitsu was started in 1995 by Sensei J. Borges, a student of Almeida. At the time, Sensei Borges only accepted three students. The class he taught was brutal, very demanding, old school karate. Peter, Duane, and Rick were the three original students. These students became a force to reckon with. As years passed, Sensei J. Borges was asked if he would accept more students. It took a while to convince Sensei J. Borges, but he decided to give it a try. He started to teach all ages, from minors to adults, some older than him. There were only two classes a week that Sensei Borges taught, because he still trained under Master John Almeida three nights a week and competed in point tournaments, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts.

Today, Sensei Borges says that what he teaches is what he has experienced in life. Old and new students who train under Sensei Borges learn more than how to fight. They learn how to walk through this world with confidence, no matter what they do in life, may it be work, school, or just doing every day tasks. We all need peace in our lives, no matter where it comes from. Sensei Borges teaches what he knows from the heart and his students learn through life experiences, not just blocks, kicks and punches. One might say that he provides his students with the tools that prepare them to deal with whatever life throws at them whether it be with knowledge, or blocks, kicks and punches. He teaches his students to always remember: “You learn to fight so you do not have to fight.”
