I was in the north Tucson area for a family vacation, stayed over night in the way to Tombstone. I dropped in on a 6am no class at Daimyo academy. I reached out via instagram about a week prior and heard back very quickly. Class was taught by Professor CJ - solid front head lock techniques. They have an awesome AM crew, with a lot of tough and technical practitioners. Thank you for the hospitality and rolls! 🤙🤙🤙
My husband, 2 kids and myself have been training here for the past 4 years, 4-5 days a week. We love Manny and Brenda and the quality of training, atmosphere and family they provide for this community. We are so proud to be a part of this beautiful tribe @Daimyo.
Great people and great energy in the gym..Amazing youth classes that focus on fine tuning the details with drills and detailed instruction.We came over from another gym and it was the best thing we could of done , none of that "you must call me professor" energy.No politics just Jiu jitsu here.
I’m a purple belt and have trained for five years. I live in Vermont, but every time I visit my parents in Tucson I train here. I’ve explored some other gyms in the area, and though they are also great, there is something special about Daimyo. In particular, their mat space and high skill level are unique. It’s the most spacious gym I’ve ever been to. They can easily accommodate 50 people rolling on the mat at the same time. I remember being really impressed by their number of high level belts at open mat - I counted over ten black belts one time. I’ve honestly never seen this level of skill at any of the dozen plus other gyms I’ve explored. I’m very grateful to Manny and all the folks at Daimyo who are so welcoming when I visit. It seems like a wonderful community to be a part of.
It's truly an honor to train with all of incredible people at Daimyo BJJ. Everyone is extremely helpful and welcoming. There are classes to fit any schedule and skill level and I highly recommend training here. Coach Manuel Flores and Brenda /all the instructors are unique and nurture students to succeed. 🤙
