format_quote 5 / 5 Stars 30 days in and I couldn’t recommend GJJ Scottsdale more! The coaches know students by name, promote kindness, and make self-defense easy to learn. The mats and gear are spotless, scheduling is simple, and lessons are clear with multiple angles and outcomes. I’ve never felt more encouraged to ask questions. 10/10—try the free trial!

format_quote 5 / 5 Stars The hubby and I have signed up for Gracie Combatives and are absolutely loving class. It's not your regular, run of the mill, Jiu Jitsu school. The instructors go into every detail and encourage smart training so that nobody gets hurt. They want you to come back and keep learning. You aren't thrown into the ring, as a beginner, and made to fend for yourself. You are given very clear instructions, encouraged to go slow, give each other feedback and to stay safe. The level of instruction here is phenomenal. Patience, clarity, thorough explanations and an incredibly knowledgeable staff, make Gracie Jiu jitsu Scottsdale the best place to go.

format_quote 5 / 5 Stars I’m so glad I gave Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Scottsdale a try. After training at two other schools, my journey felt intimidating, uncomfortable, and even led to a shoulder injury that almost made me quit. Here, the instructors break down techniques into simple, easy-to-learn steps, then put them together into smooth, fluid moves. In nearly three months, I’ve had zero injuries and finally feel confident. Highly recommend for anyone wanting self-defense, great connections, and a fun way to stay in shape.

format_quote 5 / 5 Stars I'm almost 2 months into training here on Gracie Combatives. I have no previous martial arts experience and I'm 52 years old. There are 2 other Gracie gyms closer to me, but I chose this place due to the instructor's experience and I'm very happy I did. All the instructors are fantastic with teaching techniques and they all are very personable. The focus is on technique and safety. I walked in without knowing anyone and in a short time, I feel like I'm part of a family. My fellow students are great and everyone helps each other no matter what age or skill level. Nobody has an ego that I've experienced. I go as often as I can and when I travel for business or can't go, I really miss the place. I look forward to each class. Highly recommended
