About Brazilian Top Team Boston

The Combined Martial Arts Academy was originally established 25 years ago in the Boston, MA area, and now resides at 305 Broadway in Everett, MA.

In 2003, the CMAA became the first Brazilian Top Team (BTT) affiliated training center in the United States. (Brazilian Top Team is one of the pioneers in Mixed Marital Arts and one of the most successful MMA Teams in the world).

With the growth and expansion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Mixed Martial Arts, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, João Amaral Miranda decided to organize the Combined Martial Arts Academy BTT Boston.
