My family has been training here for almost a year, and we love it! Coach Jacob is very committed to helping his students grow on and off the mat. The gym is well maintained and clean.

So far great experiences with Ares BJJ PHX! I sparked interest and was instantly contacted by Kristina (who is amazing). Kristina was able to get me into a class and was a huge support during my time at the gym! She was so sweet with my little and made the first class a positive experience. Coach Jacob is amazing and patient with the kiddos! Very positive in his teaching with a great expectation! My son enjoyed him and the class! Coach Michael was also so great and had fun with the kids! We did the trial classes before our commitment to the gym! We are members now :)

I was able to drop in the last two mornings and get some expert instruction from Jacob. He was welcoming and knowledge of Jiu-jitsu and ability to translate that to meaningful instruction is excellent!! Not only did he cover what he planned for class, he took time to help me with some personal positional questions. I highly recommend Jacob and his school. Tremendous facilities and instruction in a welcoming environment!!!

My family- ages 5 to adult all joined! Being new to martial arts, we were intimidated, but Jacob and Kristina have made it a wonderful experience for all of us. It’s a great work out and makes me feel more confident in self defense situations for myself and my kids. Definitely recommend coming here, even if you have no prior experience!

Nearly my entire family trains here at Ares BJJ Phoenix. A great fundamentals class for my littles (5 & 6yrs old). An amazing class for my kids (11 & 14yrs old) with a wide range of partners for them to train with, and a detailed focused adult class for my 19yr old daughter and myself. We are so grateful to have a place where our whole family can come in and experience Jiu-Jitsu!

Run by a family who cares! Jacob has been a great coach! He takes the time with all of his students, teaching them good mechanics. Kristina runs the desk and takes time to check in with all the families and students on a regular basis.

Have been attending for more than a couple months now. My experience overall has been absolutely exceptional and beyond the recognition that it deserves. Classes are set up for everyone’s comfortability depending on experience and different times depending on morning birds or nights owls. Highly recommend for anyone that has a free night or morning to come go in for a trial class.

If you’ve been on the search for a BJJ gym in North Phoenix, then you’ve stumbled upon an exceptional place! The head instructor, Professor Esdras, is a seasoned jiu jitsu athlete and coach/instructor. His explanations of techniques are easily digestible. This is because he is thorough in his teaching, making sure to give the smallest details that make the biggest differences in your game. The atmosphere is warm, safe, and friendly for anyone and everyone - Individuals from age 5 to 75 years old have trained here! Ares BJJ North Phoenix is great training - whether you’re new to the sport, or you’ve been a practitioner for years!

A wonderful, welcoming and positive environment to learn your craft and better your mind, body and soul. The instructors are always ready and available to help you with patience and encouragement. The current students and upper ranked belts are also very welcoming to new students. You are made to feel like you’re part of a team while also learning discipline and self defense. No prior experience needed as you will learn and grow into your own fighting style. I lost 60lbs in my training and will continue to better myself and my game.

I visited from out of town and it was a great experience. The gym was clean. The instructor was knowledgeable and encouraging. Fellow students were very welcoming. I will be going back next time I’m in town.

My son does classes here and has really grown over the past year. The instructors are all great with kids, they teach them new techniques and workouts each week and it is really fun to see the kids progress. They also teach the kids how to be respectful towards one another and their instructors, and generally instill a great deal of confidence in them which is also amazing to see. Highly recommend.
