About American Jujitsu
Coach Stephen Barrett founded American Jujitsu in 2019. He initially began his training in traditional Gracie Jiujitsu back in 2013. However, he soon became fascinated by the Danaher Death Squad (DDS), a group in New York City that had a reputation for their remarkable effectiveness in competition. What set the DDS apart was that they did not wear the traditional kimono (gi) and employed techniques that involved attacking the entire body, including the legs. This approach was unconventional, as most traditional styles of jujitsu prohibit this.
In 2016, Stephen traveled to New York City to train at the renowned Renzo Gracie Academy, which was home to the DDS. Stephen was exposed to the DDS on a regular basis, and this experience would have a profound impact on his life and the jujitsu culture in Central Illinois.
In June of 2023, Justin Angel joined American Jujitsu to teach kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA classes. With more than 15 years of fighting experience, Justin brings an immense amount of knowledge and experience to the community.

Can’t say enough great things about this gym. The instructors are positive and incredibly knowledgeable. The other students are a fantastic group, excited to learn and enthusiastic to share what they’ve learned with their juniors. This is a solid space to become educated in kickboxing & jujitsu, to get a killer workout, and most importantly, to have a ton of fun.
