The instruction is led by Anthony Quatrochi, also known as Shihan Anthony Quatrochi, whose presence anchors the school’s identity. That leadership signals a traditional martial arts approach while still keeping the training accessible to modern students looking for practical self-defense, fitness, and structured jujitsu development. Belt ranks offered give students a clear path to progress, which is especially valuable for those who want measurable milestones and long-term continuity in their training. For new students, that structure can make it easier to start with confidence; for seasoned practitioners, it adds depth and consistency to regular practice.

AQMAI stands out in the local BJJ community because it does more than focus on mat time alone. The academy’s programs and amenities include Birthday Parties, Summer Camps, Daytime Homeschool Classes, All Abilities Classes, Women’s Self Defense, and Bully Prevention, creating a training environment that extends beyond competitive martial arts. Families can look at it as both a dojo and a resource for personal development, while adults can use it to stay active through martial arts training and getting fit / staying healthy. The inclusion of Pee Wees, Juniors, and Teens/Adults jujitsu classes helps students advance in age-appropriate settings, and the broader martial arts offerings add variety for those who want to explore kickboxing, karate, or taekwondo alongside jujitsu.

For visitors, the practical appeal is straightforward: AQMAI combines breadth, clear instruction, and a local location that is easy to reach in Wappingers Falls. Students who want a school that supports self-defense, confidence-building, discipline, and physical conditioning can find those goals reflected across the academy’s programs.
