Strong Heart Martial Arts Academy is a place to become your own personal champion, break your own limits, make new friends, and build unmovable mountains of self-esteem and self confidence. Our school is located at 19401 N Cave Creek Ave, Phoenix 85024 just south of the Loop 101, on the east side of Cave Creek Rd.

Currently, SHMAA teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a grappling-centric martial art consisting of  joint locks, chokes, and throws with an emphasis on making your opponent submit. Classes include calisthenics, learning techniques, practicing learned techniques, and live full-resistant sparring. Classes are open for all levels - from beginning level to expert. No experience is required.

Martial arts training has a wide variety of benefits beyond learning to defend oneself in physical conflict. Learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great and fun way to get (and stay) into great shape. Training will improve body awareness, balance, flexibility, strength, reflexes, and many more. Consistent training will also help melt stress as well as shape and focus the competitive spirit. Training can help one reach all of these goals and provide the piece of mind that only comes from hard work and sacrifice. At SHMAA all are respected and welcomed.
