From the reviews
Last month, I signed my six-year-old twins up for Jiu Jitsu at One Ten and we couldn't be happier. The kids love the sport and are exceling in their practice thanks to Coach Michael's teaching. Coach Michael is firm and fun, balancing proper technique and discipline with a good sense of humor and levity.
I am honored to be accepted to train with Professor Mike, I never thought I will have my excitement back in learning new discipline in combat sport but OneTen has outstanding Warrior Challenge program that suits any age!!! I recommend and give my word you won’t regret joining OneTen! See you on tatami 🙇
You will learn more with Professor Michael Darcy in a month than a year under other coaches. Professor Darcy (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt) comes to the valley with years of coaching and teaching experience, and it shows.
This is the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym in Scottsdale. I trained here for a while under Professor Michael before I moved back out of state and my experience was amazing. I was really nervous before I started because I had no previous exposure to this sport and didn't know what to expect.
New to BJJ? Start at One Ten Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
One Ten Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 One Ten Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
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.
