To enjoy the benefits of martial arts you need to make the right choice. It is possible to note that, currently, there is a wide offer of martial arts modalities in gyms and schools, after all, there are many benefits resulting from the practice of this ancient art.
This mode has been gaining ground in Brazil for a long time and has been made available in various formats. The number of enthusiasts interested in experiencing what martial arts can offer is also continually growing.
However, before choosing this or that option, you need to know what makes a combat gym different from one martial arts school?
In this article you will understand a little about the role of each and how AYAM differs from all the other possibilities offered by the market.
Dissemination of martial arts in Brazil
Since the 20th century, there have been Brazilian names that have occupied prominent spaces in various forms of martial arts, such as Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing and Muay Thai. Part of its popularity is therefore due to the great emphasis given to this sport by the media.
Along with the search for self-defense techniques, the monotony of traditional physical exercises has caused a large number of people to see the practice as a more attractive option.
After all, knowing how to defend yourself without the use of weapons and being able to exercise in an intense and dynamic way is a great attraction for attracting new practitioners.
Therefore, the number of gyms that have adapted to this request by also including fighting lessons in their program continues to increase. The teaching of the most diverse techniques offered students a world of possibilities and advantages, still unknown to many.
The role played by combat academies
Qualified professionals and students willing to push their limits are the perfect combination. The birth of fighting academies was born to satisfy the desire that many people have to enter the world of martial arts and all that it can offer.
It is common for structures with this proposal to specialize in just one modality, so that the professional can experience the benefits up close and can also specialize in the chosen area.
Learning, however, need not be limited to just one category. There is a school capable of teaching the practice in a unique way and offering all its physical and mental advantages.
Martial arts as a lifestyle: discover AYAM

Present on the market for over 30 years, our school aims to do more than teach techniques to students, we work to share the knowledge and philosophy behind the ancient arts.
For us, the greatest victory is overcoming limits, achieving goals and wanting to become the best version of yourself. Whether it is a child, an adult or the entire family, we have adequate plans so that each age can develop appropriately.
We value the exchange relationship between teacher and student and believe in constant evolution, both for those who learn and for those who teach. Respect, quality and responsibility are always present in all training and teachings.
Philosophy and pillars that guide learning
Our training aims at personal development. In the lessons we work exercises capable of not only exploring and developing the students’ physical conditions, but also helping them find their best version.
In AYAM, physical and mental improvement is governed by twelve important pillars. Every month we work on one of these pillars, with the aim of demonstrating to professionals that the objectives can and must be achieved. I am:
- Yes, I can
- Body and mind
- Motivation
- Discipline
- Perseverance
- Responsibility
- Respect
- Courtesy
- Honor
- Resilience
- Direction
- Live like a black belt
Benefits obtained from the mix of techniques and modalities
We believe that our students deserve to enjoy all the mental and physical benefits that martial arts can offer. We understand that focusing on a single area of physical and technical development is limiting to the human body and its full potential.
Thus, through an exclusive methodology, we approach a mix of the best modalities, without limiting ourselves only to the physical aspects, that is, our teachings also expand to the mind.
With qualified masters, who experience the arts in practice, it is possible to exploit the most important points of each category and use them in real life, always balancing the mental and physical sides.
Our teachers: commitment to teaching and sharing knowledge
With a team made up of physical educators, physiotherapists, psychologists and pedagogues, we work with multidisciplinary teaching. What does this mean? That our students have support and assistance in all areas necessary for their development.
Here you will find a solid basis for learning through a modern methodology, which responds to the needs of current times, without neglecting the precious traditional teachings, characteristic of the practice.
By reinforcing positive actions, we encourage students to seek the best results at every stage of their education. We view every achievement as a great victory and celebrate the barriers that are broken.
From childhood to adulthood, individually or as a family, AYAM is for everyone

We have adequate programs for children, young people and adults, with appropriate methodology for each age and focusing on the needs of each student to achieve their goals.
For parents who seek the best for their children, we work on discipline, respect and self-confidence in a dynamic and fun way. The transformation in children’s lives is also evident at school and at home.
For adults seeking the best version of themselves, it is possible to regain self-esteem, stress relief and improved physical condition through our workouts. It’s never too late to start!
For us, family ties are extremely important, which is why we created the family plan, making training possible for all its members. This way you can spend quality time with the people you love.
The life change you are looking for is here
The time has come to see for yourself all the advantages and benefits that martial arts offers. And there is no more appropriate place than our school for this to happen successfully.
