From the reviews
Austin is the best black belt competitor in AZ! He also runs an amazing program and carries himself with the highest integrity on and off the mat. My JiuJitsu has leveled up so much since I started training here.
I am coming up on 2 years at this school! It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Professor Austin since day one has always pushed me and really emphasized opening my mind and never to concede. My form has really catapulted into something else being here. Staff is amazing!
I have been training here for almost two years, and my daughter has been training here for almost a year. The instruction, mentorship, coaching and overall attitude here is second to none. As an adult, you will get in shape, learn fundamentals, and learn to think decide and act while under pressure.
SOL is far more than an elite BJJ training facility—it's a vibrant community where diverse individuals come together to improve not just in Jiu Jitsu, but in life as well. At SOL, respect, integrity, and safety are paramount.
New to BJJ? Start at Sol BJJ - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes in Phoenix
Sol BJJ - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes in Phoenix 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 Sol BJJ - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes in Phoenix
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.
