I visited Ares Arizona BJJ in Mesa on a Saturday and had a great experience. The people were very welcoming from the moment I walked in. It was open mat, and even though the main coach was not there that day, I was able to get a few good rounds in with some solid training partners. I had really hoped to meet the head coach, but his students spoke highly of him, and that says a lot about the environment he has built. The gym itself is beautiful. They have a nice coffee bar, a second room where younger kids train, and bathrooms that were surprisingly clean and well designed. You can tell they put real effort into the details — from the layout of the changing rooms to the separate space for kids’ classes. Everything felt organized, thoughtful, and family friendly. Overall, it is a great gym with kind people who truly care about jiu jitsu and creating a welcoming community. I will definitely be back.

The environment is friendly, welcoming, and perfect for all ages and skill levels — from beginners to competitors. The training is top-notch, the community feels like family, and the results speak for themselves. I always leave class feeling stronger, more confident, and motivated. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn BJJ, get fit, and have fun!

My family joined, but my three sons mainly go ages 14, 13, and 7 years old. I find the academy to be a great place for people of all ages. The coaches are patient, understanding and will knowledgeable of the Brazilian jiu-jitsu art, and a very youth friendly environment. "It's a Great Academy" ~The Espinoza Family~
