what our members say

With more than 50 five-star reviews, our academy is one of the highest-rated Jiu-Jitsu schools in Scottsdale and the Phoenix area. Thank you to our amazing students and families!

“I’m so glad I gave Academy of Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale a try. After two other schools, my journey had felt intimidating and even led to a shoulder injury that nearly made me quit. Here, the instructors break down techniques into simple steps, then build them into smooth, fluid moves. In almost three months, I’ve had zero injuries and feel confident for the first time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for self-defense, great connections, and a fun way to stay in shape.”

“30 days in and I couldn’t recommend Academy of Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale more! The coaches know students by name, promote kindness, and make self-defense easy to learn. Mats and gear are spotless, scheduling is simple, and techniques are taught from multiple angles. I’ve never felt more encouraged to ask questions. 10/10 — definitely try the free trial!”

“We love having our little champ in Tigers!! She has learned so much and absolutely loves coming to class. I would recommend this specific program to ALL parents with littles. They learn discipline, respect, kindness and gratitude along with ways to survive tough circumstances.”

“I'm almost two months into training at Academy of Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale with no prior martial arts experience and at 52 years old. I chose this school over others for the instructors' experience—and I’m so happy I did. The coaches are skilled, friendly, and focused on technique and safety. I felt welcome right away and the students are supportive, no matter your age or skill level. It truly feels like a family. I miss it when I’m away and look forward to every class. Highly recommend.”

“My son has been training here for over a year and loves it. The coaches are caring and attentive to all age groups. Instruction is clear, fun, and engaging. The kids’ program builds character, discipline, respect, and confidence. Earning belts and badges, plus games and activities, motivates good behavior at home, school, and in the community—at no extra cost!”

“While on holiday, my gal and I did a drop-in at Academy of Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale. The instruction, cleanliness, mats, and overall vibe were top-tier—matching the highest standards we’ve experienced. The locker room, shower (complete with accoutrements), seating area and overall vibe were at the highest level. The coaches are extremely helpful, friendly and giving, as are the students.You’ll have a fantastic time training here!”

“This is the only form of martial arts my kids keeps wanting to do. I feel this is because the coaches are good at keeping the kids engaged.”
