I absolutely love this place! I cannot even explain how much confidence I got from going to Arizona Combat Sports. At first, I was nervous to come to a fight gym afraid I would get beat up lol but everyone is so nice and so welcoming.
All the coaches are super helpful and will guide you to where you want to be. The lessons I’ve learned here will stay with me for the rest of my life. If you are debating whether to join or not, please take this from me cause I was in your shoes: you’ll be very well taken care of and it just might be one of the best decisions of your life.
I travel quite a bit for work and training consistently can be a bit of a challenge. I’ve spent a few weeks in Tempe and came across AZ Combat Sports and decided to give them a shot. I’ve dropped in about 10 times over the last month or so and have enjoyed it more and more each time. It’s a large school with tons of classes in BJJ, Muay Thai, boxing and MMA. It has a community feel. Everyone is super friendly and passionate about training. I’ve experienced zero ego. I highly recommend AZ Combat Sports from anyone wanting to train at a quality gym that takes martial arts seriously.
I've trained at this gym for four years doing BJJ and I can't recommend it enough, Trevor, Steve, and Johnny are excellent grappling coaches with incredible passion and expertise in the sport. The environment is welcoming and the facility is very clean. From the first day I walked in to four years later I have been able to work with amazing training partners and always improve my skills. From beginners to pro mma fighters, ACS has it all. 5 Stars!
I've trained at the gym for about three months now. In my limited experience with Arizona Combat Sports, I can say their experience and passion for training speaks for itself. Take the time to stop by and you'll understand what I mean. The knowledge and energy of the instructors plays a huge role in keeping patrons like me returning again and again. And because there are a broad variety of visitors, you can gain experience training with different body types and levels -- the bonus is you also get to meet some cool people, too.
My 11 year old son and I trained here this week while in town visiting family. This place is incredible. It’s a huge facility with a lot of classes and great coaches. My son did the Muay Thai classes and some Jiu Jitsu. I did the NoGi Jiu Jitsu and submission wrestling. Johnny and Nathan are really solid jiu jitsu coaches. Trevor’s submission wrestling was a lot of fun and easy to understand for someone like me who has done a lot of Jiu Jitsu but very little wrestling.
There are a few things that really stood out to me and motivated me to write a review; I never do reviews…
1 - This gym is full of absolute killers but the culture is not all ego driven tough guys trying to kill the new guy. They were all super friendly and a lot of fun to train with
2 - My son outs only 11 years old but pretty big for his age. They let him jump in with the adult Muay Thai Fundamentals class and treated him really well. My son came to the NoGi open mat and was a bit nervous because he was so young but a bunch of the guys in there rolled with him, showed/helped him with his moves and were extremely patient with him.
All around great experience at AZ Combat Sports. Will definitely be training here whenever I am in the area.
Thanks to the whole crew there!
This is long overdue. I've been a member at Arizona Combat Sports for a little over 2 years now. I stalked their social media pages before joining. Something I noticed was they change and remodel often to adapt to the needs of the members and the gym, which I find honorable and a sign of true resilience.
I drive, on average, 30 minutes to ACS with many options of gyms in between me and them. You will not find another place like this! ACS has become one of my favorite spaces. They support all levels of experience. All the coaches are very knowledgeable and friendly. They have many options for classes. And their new facility is awesome!
This place rules, had been wanting to try Muay Thai for years but always found an excuse not to. So glad my buddy turned me on to acs and pushed me to go. After a month I could already feel noticeable improvements to form. The coaches really know what they are doing and I definitely will be a member here for a long time
I started training here in October '24 in preparation for a weird and wild multi-day competition that had wrestling as one of 12 events. All the coaches were incredibly helpful, going out of their way to help me get as prepared as possible in a very short window of time. I decided to keep training combat after my competition because I have so been enjoying my experience. I have competed in SO MANY sports at a huge array of levels across my life, so I have had so many coaches as well. The ones at ACS are exemplary, and the community overall is warm and encouraging. I also want to emphasize as a woman beginning in a male-dominated sport how welcoming this community is. I'm so excited to see what may come of this new adventure
AZ Combat Sports is one of my favorite gyms I’ve had the pleasure to be a part of. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a friendly and personable front desk staff who make you feel right at home. The seasoned instructors are world-class, with coaching that caters to everyone—from beginners starting their MMA journey to seasoned athletes looking to sharpen their skillset. The atmosphere is incredibly supportive, and you can tell this place is dedicated to helping everyone reach their goals. Whether you’re training for competition or just looking to improve your fitness and technique, AZ Combat Sports is the place to be. Highly recommend!
Amazing coaching, amazing technique and lessons. Wish i could of stayed all day everyday. When i come back this will definitely be my first choice again.
This place has been like a family to me. Can’t say enough about the solid Men & Women that are members here and that coach her. Ownership is top notch! Lally’s brothers are gods gift to the earth!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Where do I start? This gym has had a huge impact on my combat performance, going from being a total newbie to someone confident in their own ability. The care given from the staff, yes, literally every staff member, is incredible. It truly feels like a family if you get to know everybody. When someone mentions wanting to train in combat sports, I recommend ACS without a second thought.
Super great operation. I had no experience in martial arts and they made me feel at home on day one. Fantastic and patient coaches, the members were super friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend.
I can't say enough good things about this place. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and always ready to help you master the techniques, no matter your skill level. If you're worried about pricing, don't be – their rates are the best around, and they even offer student discounts. This is the perfect place to learn and improve without breaking the bank. Be ready to sweat and have fun.

Very good trainers that actually care about your progress!
Exceptional Fitness Facility and Staff!
I had the pleasure of joining AZ Combat and I must say, it has been an incredible experience. From the moment I walked through their doors, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff at AZ Combat are truly exceptional - knowledgeable, dedicated, and passionate about what they do.
The trainers and instructors at AZ Combat are top-notch. They have a wealth of experience and expertise in combat sports and fitness training. They go above and beyond to ensure that each member receives personalized attention and guidance. I have been amazed by their ability to motivate and challenge me to push beyond my limits, helping me achieve my fitness goals.
The facilities at AZ Combat are outstanding. Whether you're into martial arts, boxing, or general fitness, AZ Combat has everything you need to succeed. The programs and training sessions are thoughtfully designed, providing a comprehensive learning experience for all skill levels.
What sets AZ Combat apart is the sense of community they have cultivated. The camaraderie among the members is truly inspiring, creating a supportive and motivating environment. It's a place where everyone feels welcome and encouraged to strive for their best. The positive energy and encouragement from both the staff and fellow members make every visit to AZ Combat a rewarding experience.
I cannot recommend AZ Combat enough. It is an exceptional fitness facility with an outstanding staff. If you're looking for a place to improve your fitness, learn self-defense, and be part of a welcoming community, AZ Combat is the perfect choice. I am grateful to have found such a gem and I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with them.
Thank you, AZ Combat, for everything you do!
I spent just over a year at AZCS while I was studying at ASU, and joining the gym was the best decision I made during college. I didn’t make it in to hardly as many sessions as I wanted to, but I can’t speak highly enough of the time I did spend there. The coaches are absolutely amazing, and are willing to meet anybody wherever they’re at skill-wise. The gym has the most welcoming and inspiring atmosphere that I’ve ever been in, and I cannot recommend at least going and trying out a class enough! I guarantee you’ll want to join, and will be extremely happy that you did.
An incredible Martial Arts School top to bottom. The coaches are all amazing and accomplished individuals who truly do care about all of their athletes and their progression. The community of this gyms is amazing as well, you start going to a few classes a week with the intent of achieving personal fitness goals, but sure enough you end up forming relationships with fellow athletes as well as some of the coaches that will have you coming back everyday. I can say first hand this gym has molded me into a better person physically, mentally and spiritually. I will cherish the time I have spent at ACS and would whole heartedly recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting into the mixed martial arts world in any discipline.
Visited here while on a short trip, signed up for what I thought would be one free practice, but Trevor let me try two more intro classes! The coaches for both striking and "strangles" were great, they were attentive, taught techniques and the "why" behind them. Learnt lots over those 3 classes. The atmosphere with all the classes ongoing was definitely inspiring too, like everyone working hard together to get better! Thanks coaches! I'll definitely be back when I'm in town.
Really good guys here. The coaches are great and will challenge you and your endurance for sure. A big selling point for me was access to BJJ lessons along with their striking classes. You really get out what you put in here. Trevor (tall Trevor -- there's a zillion Trevors at this gym somehow) was attentive and worked with me on some needs I had as a member which was much appreciated. Definitely worth checking out!
I took a free Muay Thai trial class here in 2023 and I loved it. The people are chill, the instruction is clear and detail-oriented, and the mindset people share here is one of growth.
Im about a month or so into my time at AZ combat and my experience so far has been overwhelmingly positive. I’ve been spending my time doing submission wresting/no gi and I’ve loved every minute of it. Plenty of students from varying skills levels, and everyone is immensely helpful. Coaches and students alike are fantastic and take great care in teaching and reinforcing skills. Great facility and great community.
One of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. Great coaches, great owners. All experience levels are welcome. They have members training to compete professionally and members like me with zero combat sports experience. I recommend this place to anyone looking to get into combat sports or just looking to learn a new skill and build a little confidence.
Only trained at Arizona Combat Sports for a couple months and had to leave due to a new job, but in that time I improved my striking and grappling skills like crazy. The instructors are all super cool and you can find lots of good people who push themselves to compete with. 100% worth checking out
The best gym in Arizona. You'd be hard pressed to find another gym with such knowledgeable coaches and with as wide a variety of classes for the price they charge. If you want to get in shape, go to ACS. If you want to learn self defense, go to ACS. If you want to compete in combat sports, go to ACS.

The trainers are awesome and you learn a lot ever session. Definitely getting your moneys worth at this place
I've always wanted to get into MMA since I was a little kid. I finally pulled the trigger and went in to Az combat and the environment is amazing. Trevor is a really cool guy and is willing to work with you. The coaches don't just pay attention to their fighters, they pay attention to everyone that comes through and take time to teach you personally about the proper technique. The classes are always fun and a great workout. Everyone there is so willing to help you improve on your skills. They're like family! Everyone is welcome. There is no better place to hone in on your skills or just gain confidence in your abilities
Honestly one of the best gyms I've ever been to. The coaches are attentive and willing to answer any and every question you have. There's also a good sense of community and everyone I've met here was extremely friendly.
This is THE spot!! The owner and coaches are very welcoming and supportive regardless of experience.
I’ve been lucky enough to be training here since I took my first intro classes and have no reason to look anywhere else. This is a great place if you are looking to get into martial arts or are looking to get back into it!!

I stopped in for a lunch nogi and was very impressed. Massive gym. Very friendly staff and talented crew.
I started my jiu jitsu journey here a couple years ago when I first came to Arizona. The atmosphere is second to none, there’s truly a place for everyone at this gym. All of the coaches are so amazing and have developed my game immensely. Definitely the most friendly gym I’ve ever been to.
There are a lot of places to train in the greater Phoenix area, but I always end up back at AZ Combat Sports when I'm in town. They have great facilities and instruction, but they also go the extra mile to make people feel welcome. Coach Trevor Smith is always positive. If the guy can be in a bad mood, he doesn't show it. Every person who comes through the door is treated like they matter, whether it's their first class or their five-hundreth. Combat sports can be intimidating, but the AZ Combat Sports staff will always make sure you are glad you stepped on the mat that day.
This is not just a gym, it’s a family, simple as that. Coach Trevor with striking and Coach Steve with Jiu-Jitsu both lookout and take care of each student and care about everyone’s growth. From kids to adults everyone is there to get better and have fun. Also, don’t miss out on wrestling practice on Saturdays with Coach Trev (Hot Sauce), always fun and ups your wrestling skill. Like I said, if you’re looking for a family and not just a gym, come here!
AZ Combat was the best Jiu-Jitsu gym I have ever attended ! I always felt at home in a room filled with great competitors and full of killers! I can’t say enough good things about Steve , I can’t wait to eventually be back on those mats
My time at AZ Combat Sports was amazing and fun! I loved the atmosphere and the people that go here. From my first class I felt welcomed and encouraged to build my skills! Thank you AZ Combat team for the amazing experience!
For anyone reading this that is looking for a martial arts gym, do yourself a favor and call the gym and talk to Big T. You'll be signed up for your first classes and never look back!
Amazing place to come train and to learn a new sport! Coaches are all amazing, friendly, and super helpful! The gym environment is like no other and everyone who comes here is very respectful and friendly. Definitely recommend for anyone to come check out ACS!
I’ve been going to AZ Combat sports for coming on 3 years and I can’t say enough good things about this place! Coach Steve, Trevor, Trevor, and Cedrick are all awesome and make you feel very welcomed. Would highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

Came in with my son today for first time, staff was great, very accommodating and friendly, good vibes, clean and professional. Thanks Ransom, when im back in town I am coming here.
This gym is incredible for both experienced martial artist and complete novice individuals. I've been training here for a little over 3 years and have seen this place continuously improve upon what they have to offer. This gym offers very high level instruction for both BJJ/grappling and striking along with a deep roster of truly skilled training partners. Often when your new to this type of activity, it's easy to be intimidated when finding a place to train. Even with ZERO training experience, the staff at this Gym have developed an inclusive environment, both welcoming and conducive to comfortably learn a new skill. Stop searching and find your way to either striking or Jiu Jitsu. You won't regret it.
P.S. show up 10-15 minutes early to get a run down of the facilities and schedule.
Shoutout to coach Trevor and coach Rosenberg they are the best coaches in the state. Since day 1 it’s been a fun and challenging environment to be a part of. The motto stands true 1 year here equals 5 years anywhere.
Been going here for less than a year. I was looking for an affordable gym with top notch instructors. This was definitely the right gym. They’re very good with working with every level of fighter. It was the only gym I’ve trained at that has gotten alot of fighters to the UFC & Bellator.

I miss this gym a lot. Big T and Steve were great coaches and mentors. Truly inspirational.
I trained at this gym over the summer for a month and absolutely loved my time there. I have a recent background in BJJ so I took a lot of the grappling classes. The instructors were super friendly and helpful and everyone was extremely skilled. I also did a few striking classes that I enjoyed as well. Highly recommend going to this gym if you are in Phoenix. I would still be at this gym if I didn't leave the state.

This is the best gym you will go to. I moved to Dallas and I could not find a gym like ACS here.
I have been training here since May of 2021 and it has been one of the best decisions I ever made. I have lost 25lbs since joining and have learned so much about self-defense while improving my cardio and overall health. They will push you to your limits and motivate you to be the best version of yourself. This is the best gym for combat sports in the valley. The team of trainers are friendly and make you feel welcomed right away and they are extremely helpful no matter your skill level. Whether you're a pro MMA fighter or looking to get in shape while learning how to fight, like myself, this gym can do it all. If going to the gym to lift weights isn't your thing, you should definitely give this a try.
The coaches here are all inviting, experienced, and invested in their students. The atmosphere is always positive; everyone comes to train hard, and the more experienced students are always prepared to assist and advise their newer team mates. All experience levels are welcomed and treated with the same respect.

This place has been the catalyst and the first open door to the world of combat sports. They push everyone to strive for their best, and they do it in a way that's unique to everyone. Forever grateful for their team's help and professionalism. If you are new and even questioning where to begin your combat sports journey... THIS is the home for you.
Life changing experience! It’s the perfect environment to grow and learn skills in MMA, kickboxing, boxing, BJJ, etc. The coaches are super friendly and encouraging! The coaches are very knowledgable and experienced. You will progress fast here if you put in the effort. You will be motivated every day you come in! This is a place where goals are accomplished and dreams are fulfilled!
This review comes from the heart. I love this gym. I wish I could live here. When I first came in, I was a young man scared of the world. While I trained here I was surrounded by knowledgeable, friendly people. Overtime I noticed my skills improve, along with my confidence and awareness both inside and outside the gym. If you’re looking to improve in the Martial Arts, or improve as a person. This is the gym to go to.
This gym’s solid.
Instructors were very patient, assertive and respectful.
Trevor, the owner, is a people person for all the right reasons.
The patrons you box or grapple with are pretty chill ppl.
The only con is that they don’t provide childcare, which is literally the only reason why I left. I have every intention of going back once my kid is like six. I need an alibi to fight him 😉
Great gym. Dropped in to train for the week. The staff (Trevor & Steve) were awesome and very friendly!

I visited here while on vacation and everyone here staff and students were welcoming and friendly. Ransom working the front desk was awesome, he went above and beyond to make my experience great
Great atmosphere, you can learn Muy Thai, BJJ, Boxing, Kick Boxing, some wrestling. The trainers are very knowledgeable and fun to be around. It easily turns into a family atmosphere for everyone of all backgrounds. Some of the trainers there are current professionals and some have UFC experience. To say the least one of the best gyms I’ve ever been apart of. Oh the schedule is flexible as well. They have multiple classes throughout the day.
This is a great MMA gym. The coaches are extremely experienced and knowledgeable, whether you are looking for striking or grappling training. You will also find great camaraderie here. The manager Trevor Smith and the coaches will make you feel right at home whether you’re brand new or experienced at combat sports.
Been at the gym for almost 3 years, and it was absolutely the best decision that I have made! The atmosphere and environment is absolutely amazing. Trevor and Ransom from the front desk are super nice and will always help you with a positive attitude. The coaches Trevor, Cedric, Kevin, Gomez, Steve, and Tyler are always willing to help you out and give you feedback. This gym has definitely improved my skillset in Muay Thai and grappling. I would highly recommend checking out the gym!

Loved training here! This was my first combat training and I stuck around for over a year. I would continue here if I wasn’t moving away. All the coaches are great and will push you at any pace you want.
Fantastic gym, highly recommend anyone interested in any facet of combat sports to look into it here. The coaches are highly knowledgeable and helpful, and the general culture of the gym is friendly and fun. Definitely the best gym in the area.
I wish there were more gyms with such a great atmosphere like Arizona Combat Sports. Steve Rosenberg is one of the best BJJ coaches I have been fortunate enough to train with. He also has a solid group of BJJ competitors that always give great tips and challenging rolls to improve your game. The Muay Thai classes are also great and are taught by Trevor Lally who has coached many UFC, and Bellator fighters. Trevor Smith is also great at discussing the membership options and promoting the ACS energy when you walk in the door. Hope to be back again.
Love this place. Was looking for a family oriented gym and you get that here. The coaches are awesome and the people are too. You can meet some pretty like minded here. They teach more than one art and have many times slots. You can start a month and get into a contract at a later time if you'd like. Definitely a must if you are looking for a gym of this kind.
Came into this gym 6 months ago looking for a new hobby with no prior mma experience. I love this place, My skills have improved tremendously training here in such little time...The staff &coaches from this gym treat everyone with respect and as family from day one. Best AZ gym 💯
I went to ACS for a little over a year on and off. Half of that time I was working on jiu jitsu the other half kick boxing. It was always a great time. The staff is friendly, helpful and experienced. All the coaches in there are capable fighters and will get you fight ready if that’s what you want. If you’re just looking for a great workout they will have you throwing about 10000 kicks in 45mins on Tuesdays 5pm kick boxing class.
This gym is a one of a Kind! 1 month here is like 6 months anywhere else. They have the best trainers around with the highest level of competition, They take the time to train you individually during class to ensure you are getting the attention you need and all the employees are very professional at this gym. Best combat sports gym in the entire state of Arizona!! 10 out of 10 would reccommend!!!

Amazing place to train. The coaches here are top of the line. They are very thorough and detailed. The facilities are great and the environment is unmatched. Give this place a try and you will not be disappointed.
Literally the best gym I’ve been to. Super talented and skilled instructors with the right mix of stern, gritty encouragement and positive, patient help. I dropped in for a couple striking classes on a visit from LA and it made me wanna move to AZ just to train here! Incredibly workout and helpful technical instruction. Great community as well. Absolutely worth the time and money. Check them out!
Best training experience I’ve ever had. Every staff member is extremely helpful. AZ Combat Sports provides a fun and enthralling MMA training experience. They really care about not only your improvement, but your well-being. Equipment and mats are very nice, lots of experienced people to learn from and train with. Hands-down the best gym in Arizona.
Absolutely love the training here! They are so understanding of everyone's starting experience and truly want to help people learn and grow.
I especially recommend this for women wanting to learn self defense, since you will actually practice with partners of all shapes and sizes. I came in with 0 self defense or martial arts training and in less than 6 months I feel so much more confident in my ability to protect myself.
I've had the pleasure of training at Arizona Combat Sports for about a year and it is one of the best places to train martial arts in all of Arizona. This is a great place for both beginners and pros. If you're a beginner, Trevor makes you feel right at home and can help you pick the right classes. If you're training brazilian jiu jitsu, coach Steve is one of the best, world champion, but works great with beginners! If I'm ever back in Phoenix/Tempe, there's no question I'm going back to ACS.

Absolute blast these guys know their ish and have a productive and diverse class schedule.
I've fallen in love with this place! Being a young man with asthma, especially under the great Arizona heat! It gets tough to go out and exercise without dying halfway through my workout. I'm not really into weight lifting and hitting weights without understanding that kind of gym culture. It was pretty tough to get into it.
But ever since I came here, I was welcomed and respected by the community and the wonderful coaches! I was always encouraged to keep coming back and welcomed to grow at my own pace! I was told everyday that I become 2% better every time I show up and do a class. They have lots of safety gear, we're indoors and there's water available to anyone! The coaches are honestly the best teachers I've ever met! They're patient but guide you at a faster pace if you meet them halfway!
Im literally excited to show up to their 1pm classes, it's not too busy but not too vacant! You get diverse type of people to work with but also get a good focus from the coaches and I just feel like I learn a whole lot in just one hour! I'm still a rookie but I'm feeling the experience carry my confidence and technique higher than I've ever expected!
Also my asthma is under great control! I'm addicted to the growth!

The environment and trainers are top of the line. Really enjoyed my experience here and wish I was in the state longer to spend more time with the gym. Overall great experience and would recommend to anyone trying to get into the sport. Also very affordable.
This gym is incredibly welcoming of newcomers and was my first exposure to real and good jujitsu and striking coaches. If you start training here regularly you will progress at an exponential rate. Could not recommend highly enough based on the collective environment, training partners, and variety of classes. Go get you sum!
Outstanding gym. The instructors are professional and friendly, and the environment they create is welcoming to all skill levels. They offer a ton of classes, the gym's clean and the cost is reasonable. As another reviewer said, Tempe's lucky to have this place.

Got to stop in and roll Jits. Great environment and great people. Will definitely be back!!
These guys a high speed low drag. The instructors are flawless in their execution of the techniques and give the logic behind why its done the way its done. They understand combat. They are always on the spot giving improvements and are great communicators. They are the whole package. Well worth the loot. Stand up game and ground game are all expertly covered. The staff are very affable and amiable. The classmates are all top notch and very encouraging. Tempe is very lucky to have Arizona Combat Sports.
Trained BJJ here for just under a year (would have continued to train here if it wasn't for me moving). I just wanted to say the environment at AZ Combat Sports was incredible. Everyone was super friendly and egos were always checked at the door. I feel that training BJJ here significantly boosted my overall confidence and self esteem, and you truly can't put a price on that.
AZ Combat Sports was a great place to train jiu jitsu and boxing. I've trained a few places and AZ Combat was the best. Not only are the instructors great, but most of the students take it quite seriously and get into it, which makes for a great learning environment and work out. I was in the best shape I've ever been in while training here.
This was the second Gym I trained at for BJJ and was by far the best. Everybody wants to help and see you improve. Cant beat the atmosphere! Trevor is also one of the best coaches there is!
This is the best gym experience I’ve ever had in my life. The value of the training is truly worth five years at any other place, and Trevor will take good care of you. I only wish I had more time to be a part of this gym because you still get out what you put in. Thanks ACS!
Absolutely loved it here! Such a great atmosphere for people who have a genuine passion for MMA. Compared to the first gym I’ve attended, this gym truly cares about the development of everyone that trains and is great about providing one on one time for people that are eager to learn. I joined the gym, formerly lacking discipline and any motivation to work out, to now wanting to train and work out everyday. If it was my choice, I’d be here everyday of the week training for hours. I was honestly sad I had to cancel my membership due to my own situation but I guarantee I’ll be back! Again, I love the people, the atmosphere, and it’s just such a great place to train at for self-development, especially if you’re a fighter trying to make it into the big leagues!!
This place has been my home away from home since 2017, I love it here. I tried six gyms in the area, and this is the one I chose. Steve Rosenberg is an amazing Jiu Jitsu coach and human being, I can't say enough good things about him. Trevor Lally is a guy who truly cares, and his boxing lessons are legit. You'll find everything you need here to become a well rounded fighter. The gym culture here is excellent, you'll find people from all walks of life, training and helping each other to not only become better fighters/martial artists, but also better people. This is my second family. My daughter just started doing Jiu Jitsu here and it's awesome. I can't overstate how much I love this place.
I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Best mma training I’ve had, easy to work with and friendly staff. I had to move out of state and cancel my membership last minute. I didn’t cancel properly and it was entirely my fault, I ended up paying for a few months when I though I was cancelled. They refunded me for those months even though they had no responsibility to do so. On top of that I’ve seen vast improvements in striking and bjj during my months training there. I had limited experience coming in, but they were willing to work with me and brought me up to speed quicker than any other gym I’ve tried. Highly recommend signing up and getting to work asap if you’re interested in learning mma. Absolutely worth every penny.
Highly recommend checking out AZ Combat sports!! From day one they were super friendly and welcoming. They let me try out a few classes for free to see if I wanted to continue training. Trevor, Steve, and all of the rest of the coaches are awesome and you will get high level training from professionals. Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, Kickboxing and boxing classes were all awesome. Made some great friends and learned a lot in my time at the gym. Would definitely recommend for any skill level. Whether you are a beginner and looking to learn some practical self defense techniques, or if you are looking to develop yourself as a competitor. The coaches at AZ combat will definitely help you reach your goals.
I came from an amazing gym back in San Diego that was like family to me. I never thought that I would be able to find that again. To my surprise, the first day I walked through that door, I knew I found a new home! The coaches are all so amazing and helpful, the other fighters are super welcoming, and the technique is great. You're not going to find a better spot, whether you want to go pro or just get a good workout and make new friends.
A newcomer of the Phoenix/Tempe location. AZ combat sports took me in as one of their own. Whether you're looking to compete or just get in shape. The coaches, staff, and fighters are with you every step of the way. 10 out of 10 recommending this to anyone thats close enough! Due to moving again I'm unfortunately unable to train there anymore. Will always be my first gym of choice!
Arizona Combat Sports has changed my life for the absolute best and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in competing or just a fantastic and fun workout. I have so much fun with my daily training that I completely forget it even counts as exercise. I joined this gym to meet friends in a fun environment and I got that and so much more. All the way from the ownership down to the receptionist, every single person involved with AZ Combat Sports make it one of the best places to train in Arizona.
This gym is the best thing that ever happened to me. I tried out some other gyms before this and was not feeling them too much and then i came here and after the first day I knew with 100% certainty this place was the place to be. I came im for 3 reasons. 1. So i coukd get back into sports/competing. 2. To make friends and meet new people, and 3. To have better self defense. I have achieved all of these. No matter what your goals are this place will help you get there, and at a pace quicker than any other gym. Whether you want to just get in better shape, just doin it for fun, or you want to be the next ufc champion of the world, this place will take you there. Everyone here is such a good person too. I have gotten exponentially better within 3 months not only because of the coaches, but also receiving feedback from the rest of the people I train with. Everyone here is so nice, ive never had a nevative experience. Its the most positive environment ever. We are all cool with eachother. We are one big family that supports eachother and helps eachother get better. I have such an amazing time here, I am blessed to have found this place.
AZ Combat Sports is a great gym with great value if you want to learn anything related to MMA, boxing, jiu jitsu, wrestling, muay thai, etc. Trevor makes you feel super welcome as a new student and there are lots of experienced teachers who show you the ropes. For the price, it's a really great value too, you get unlimited use of the gym for a flat fee. Can't really beat that. Would recommend this gym to any of my friends or family!
The atmosphere of the gym was very accepting, regardless of your martial arts experience coming in. Coaches Steve and Tyler taught me many valuable skills throughout the 6-7 months attending the gym. I enjoyed the competition level from my training partners and always appreciated how more experienced individuals gave pointers to the beginners. I think it's a great place for martial arts enthusiasts or potential fighters to give a try.

The grappling class. Only teaches you one move and then they have you spar for the whole class that’s not god teaching that’s not how you get better

Went to a sparring class session here and was paired up with someone way above my weight class. Subsequently I got knocked unconscious, threw up, and convulsed leading me to develop a severe TBI and go into a coma and almost die. While my brain was actively bleeding all they did was splash cold water on my face, they did not contact a ambulance so my medical attention was delayed for hours. Due to this delay I almost lost my life and have permanent life long lasting after effects. They had zero safety protocol what so ever. The coaches do not give any warning to the students to not kill other students and not go too hard while sparring. They teach no sparring etiquette or incentive to care about your sparring partner. So the classes are full of people who want to prove their own strength and toughness more then constructively learn skills, they don't require headgear either so the chance of you sustaining serious injuries are high. This place puts ego and pride over the safety of the students I'd recommend putting your money somewhere else where they care more about your life and wellbeing. They also have never offered even a single word of apology to me which goes to show how I was just another source of income to them.
