LEARN WHAT WORKS
COMBAT SPORTS
WITH EXPERIENCED COACHES
Train the most effective fighting styles from around the world with the most experienced coaches in the area. We know the fight game better than anyone around and so do our students!
Yamasaki Academy Woodbridge is not just another Martial Arts gym that is nothing more than a Day Care Center in disguise. We prefer the term Combat Sports to separate ourselves from that world that has lost its way. Our highly experienced and well-rounded coaches are only interested in what works in a competitive scenario against other highly trained athletes.
We do, however, believe that training should be done in a controlled environment to allow the student to learn safely and with confidence. Whether your interests are in learning the ground game of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the striking style of Muay Thai, the takedowns and throws of Judo and Wrestling, or to put it all together as an MMA fighter we got you covered!
Defend Yourself
REAL WORLD SELF-DEFENSE
We are a true Mixed Martial Arts training facility! All of our instructors are well versed in unarmed combat from striking to grappling as well as what to do when a firearm is brought to the situation. And then there’s the legal end of things that are hardly ever discussed. Without the knowledge of what constitutes legal use of force, including deadly force, in a self-defense situation you may be the one going to jail.
Services include:
VA Concealed Handgun Permit classes
Home defense planning and training
Defensive and tactical training while armed
Lessons with USCCA and NRA certified instructors
Live fire training at local gun ranges with certified RSOs and instructors

“I enjoy training with Yamasaki Woodbridge BJJ Coach Joe Cunningham because I find his instruction to be some of the most technically concise and informative I have been fortunate enough to have in my 25 year journey in Martial Arts and 16 years as a Professional MMA fighter. His details are very clear, very practical, and he shows what works.”
“Yamasaki Woodbridge has among some of the best instructors I have ever trained with. The level of knowledge is on par with some of the elite trainers I have worked with at Grudge Training Center and Elevation Fight Team in Colorado!”
“The Yamasaki Academy in Woodbridge is a fantastic place to train! My sons and I were warmly welcomed into the club and all the classes. They treated all the students with great kindness and respect: from the youth to the adult classes. Additionally, every student was also friendly, motivated, and extremely respectful. If you live close by or are visiting, make it a point to go to this club: You will be thankful that you did. We can’t wait to get back.”
“I am so happy to have found Joe Cunningham and the guys at Yamasaki Woodbridge. After training traditional martial arts for more than 25 years, here is what separates Joe and the crew from the rest – REALITY. You will know your proficiency was earned the old fashion way – by actually doing it day in and day out. The instructors here have competed at the highest professional levels in their respective arts. “
