AMQ Jiu Jitsu

AMQ Jiu Jitsu centers its training on a hybrid approach that blends Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with mixed martial arts techniques under the guidance of Professor Angel M Quinones. Quinones earned his black belt in BJJ in 2019 under Eric Schafer in Milwaukee, WI, and brings a focused, practical style emphasizing real-world application both on the ground and standing. The academy’s instruction aims to build confidence, problem-solving skills, and physical fitness through precise, effective techniques that extend beyond sport to self-defense scenarios. Classes at AMQ Jiu Jitsu include gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for adults, with an open drop-in policy that welcomes visitors interested in private lessons or regular group training. The academy maintains a straightforward curriculum that progresses students through fundamentals to more advanced submission skills, always with an eye toward practical use. Instruction balances technical drilling with situational awareness, preparing students to handle unexpected challenges whether on the mats or in everyday life. Located in Pomona, California, the facility is wheelchair accessible and designed to serve a diverse student body. AMQ Jiu Jitsu’s philosophy stresses transformation through disciplined training and the development of self-mastery, rather than competition accolades or flashy techniques. The approach is deliberate and grounded in the lineage and experience of its head instructor, reflecting a commitment to teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a tool for empowerment and effective self-defense.
