From the reviews
4Eighty Jiu Jitsu has been absolutely amazing. My son trains in the kids' class, and the coaching is truly top-notch. Coach Aaron and Coach Josh are incredible with the kids. They genuinely care and put so much time, effort, and attention into helping each child improve.
I saw this guy on a UFC show and bought some private lessons from him. 10/10! If you want to learn from a legit Jiu Jitsu guy this is the spot!!!
I have known Vanessa and Josh for about 3 1/2 years now. Trained under Josh for the same amount of time. Learning from these two has made a positive impact in my jiu jitsu and boost my confidence in my techniques. They know how to break down high level jiu jitsu into something all levels can understand.
If you're looking for the best grappling coach in Arizona, look no further than Aaron "Chin Strap" Wilson. His knowledge of wrestling, BJJ, and grappling is truly top tier, but what sets him apart even more is the kind of person he is.
New to BJJ? Start at 4EIGHTY Jiu Jitsu
4EIGHTY Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at 4EIGHTY Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
