Would you know how to defend yourself against a larger, stronger attacker if you didn’t have a weapon and had to rely on hand-to-hand combat? Most people don’t, which is why they end up as victims in many cases.

But things don’t have to turn out like that. Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art fighting system that specializes in joint locks, choke holds, takedowns and ground combat, which is important because most street fights end up on the ground. And if you’ve ever watched a mixed martial arts competition, you’ve likely seen that fact demonstrated over and over again.

If you’re wanting to learn Jiu-Jitsu or other MMA fighting styles, then your best bet is to go with someone who knows what they’re doing. If you’re in the Austin, Texas area, that person is William Vandry, head of the Vandry BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) Academy.

William was one of the first Texans to earn a black belt while studying under the legendary Master Carlos Machado. Since then, William has become a 2nd degree black belt and has won two silver medals and one gold in the Pan American World Championships. In addition, Muay Thai training and conditioning classes are taught by Robby Rabadi, brown belt and undefeated MMA competitor.

The Vandry Academy accepts students of all skill levels and classes are available for children as well as adults. What makes the Vandry Academy one of the best learning environments is that each class is taught slowly and deliberately so that every student is able to grasp and retain what they’ve learned. While there are those people who study martial arts for the physical conditioning, it’s important to be proficient enough in the event of a physical encounter.
