Learn How To Understand And Conquer Your
Three Biggest Obstacles:
YOUR OPPONENT
With your training and insight that you will learn, you will recognize your opponent’s vulnerabilities. And as a result, you will know how to respond.
YOUR OWN FEARS
Realize your fears are there to make you aware of the danger that faces you and, as a result of your training and understanding, your fears will subside.
THE LAW
Through self defense, you will learn how the law will be there to aid you as you defend yourself legally.
Our Theory
We’ve studied the theory behind martial arts over the course of several decades. We teach our students true self defense, the science behind using force, and how to avoid conflict.
School Info
American Nihon Jiu-Jitsu has been serving Long Island since 1976. It started as a kickboxing system, then went on to bringing American Combat Karate to the Huntington area. We then brought Tai-Zen to the Huntington area and now bring everything together as American Nihon Jiu-Jitsu, which brings forward the best of all of these disciplines, uniquely designed for today’s world.

Our Classes
At American Nihon Jiu-Jitsu, our classes are tailor-made for everyone. We feel that it’s important to have separate classes for different needs. Our classes are split into Children, Young Adults, Women, Men, and Former Participant.
Where in some cases, tradition can be useful, can you imagine if we kept medicine traditional? They would still be bleeding us with leeches. It is the same thing with martial arts. Science has come a long way, since the martial arts were developed, to now, where traditional movements can be enhanced as a result of knowledge that was not available at the time. As a result, we have developed the martial arts movements in such a way where physics can be applied to maximize all the forces the human body is capable of using the science of today.
Children’s Classes
Our children’s classes are designed to help students learn self defense to avoid situations like abduction or bullying. Parents are always welcome at all of our children’s classes.
Young Adult Classes
The young adult classes are geared for ages 12-16. Within the metamorphosis from childhood to puberty, transformation begins to take place. One way to truly develop the self esteem and self confidence, that will be so necessary as a foundation for their future path in life, is by EARNING it.
Women’s Classes
In this day and age, many women seek martial arts training not only to protect themselves from unwanted advances, but also for a general sense of empowerment. We are sensitive to these needs and have developed classes specifically for women- so they can use their strengths against assailant’s weaknesses.
Men’s Classes
Our men’s classes are open to all levels of martial arts training. We have students that have been training with us for over 30 years, as well as total beginners. Join us after work or on weekends to start working towards your goal today.
Former Participant
This gives martial artists’ former training the option of attending a class where they can wear their previous ranks if they wish and have the opportunity to be a part of the advances we have made to the martial arts. This of course would be an option for the student. They may start in a basic class and learn our movements from the beginning, or if they have prior training and feel they can move at a faster pace, they are welcome to the “former practitioners” class.
Specialized Instruction
We offer specialized instruction for unarmed security, such as bouncers, security guards, etc.
