From the reviews
Been training here for 3 years now and I am grateful for all the coaches passion and energy they bring to each class. Amazing environment for people who just want to learn Jiu Jitsu and Competitors.
If you live in Phoenix this is the place to train! The talent in this gym is top notch, the instructors are world class, and everyone is super nice and welcoming. I can't recommend this place enough.
My oldest son and I have been training at Ares Goodyear since January 2023, and we are so grateful to have such a high quality academy to learn and train at. The culture here is phenomenal.
I highly recommend Ares Goodyear BJJ! We brought our son here to try out a class, and the moment he walked in he was so excited about it, he told me after class that this was his future. He wanted to be a black belt, and own his own academy and teach others jui jitsu.
Your first BJJ class at Ares BJJ Goodyear
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.
