My son have been attending classes at Averitt for the past few months , and it’s been an incredible experience. The instructors are highly knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to teach. The environment is warm and welcoming. What I appreciate is the strong emphasis on respect, discipline, and continuous learning – exactly what I was looking for my son. If you’re thinking about trying jiu jitsu for yourself or your kid, I highly recommend checking this place out. This is the place to develop fitness, confidence, discipline and mindset.
Posted 11 months agoMy family and I love Averitt Jiu Jitsu! The training is top-notch and the sense of community is truly one of a kind. Coach Greg is very knowledgeable, passionate, and welcoming to all. Not only will you build great skills and confidence, but also great friendships along the way.
Posted 11 months agoThis is the place you want to do you Jiu Jitsu! Greg’s passion for teaching and jujitsu is why I go here. He really loves what he does and it shows in the adults and kids programs. There’s a range of Athletic ability and ages, so there’s training for everyone! Do yourself a favor and come try it out 🤙
Posted 11 months agoCoach Greg and the team here are amazing! I really recommend coming in to train and learn with everyone. It's an awesome community, full of support, and since I've moved here I'm really grateful for the opportunity to train and grow with such a welcoming team. Every class is challenging and fun, and Coach Greg creates an environment where everyone can improve their skills and learn great technique. It's also really nice having so many other women training here, since it makes it easier to learn moves with someone of a similar size. Highly recommend!
Posted 11 months agoFantastic experience visiting this gym! I was in town for a visit and dropped in for a training session — from the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by everyone. The gym has a great vibe with an emphasis on both solid technique and high-level training. Greg Averitt, the owner and black belt instructor, is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. His instruction was clear, technical, and practical, and the training partners were tough but very friendly. Whether you’re local or just passing through, I highly recommend checking this place out. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!
Posted 1 year agoAfter looking at different gyms in town for jiu jitsu, we felt this was the best place for our daughter. Greg and his wife create an inviting, respectful, fun and challenging environment for the kids (and adults). Greg is very responsive and a good communicator. Would highly recommend
I’ve been able to train at Averitt Jiu Jitsu a few times now and it’s been an amazing experience. Greg is not only highly skilled but also passionate about teaching. He breaks down techniques clearly. The gym has a great, supportive atmosphere. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this place is perfect for anyone looking to improve in Jiu Jitsu. Highly recommend it!
Had the opportunity to drop in to AJJ while on a vacation. The atmosphere and hospitality of the gym was great and extremely welcoming. The instruction was high level with many details learned that would elevate anyone’s game. Highly recommend AJJ to anyone interested in jiu jitsu.
Dropped in for a gi class. Friendly atmosphere and good technique taught by coach Greg. A good group of women to roll with as well, which is always nice as another woman. If you're in Flagstaff and want to train, this is a great spot!
I had the pleasure of stopping in a teaching a class. Warm welcoming environment with a great vibe Would highly recommend this stop for the safe training of BJJ
Great coaching, mentorship, and competition all in one place. Averitt JJ has all you can ask and hope for in a gym and I am grateful for my time here and hope to come back to these hard chargers.
Got some amazing rolls in last, so good I ate and fell straight asleep 🤣. Amazing group of people. The Professor instructing was knowledgeable and friendly. You could see the bonds he has with each student. Every person I rolled with was tough as nails and gave me something different each round. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the Flagstaff area!
I was working out of town and was referred to this gym by my coach. I did a drop in and had an awesome experience. Great place to train. I look forward to coming back.
Super Awesome vibe. Friendly atmosphere. Everyone was so welcoming. Will definitely visit again in the near future. You won't be disappointed
Great mat space, great people and great rolls. I was looking for a place to train while traveling, and the owner was more than welcoming and went out of his way to make sure that I had a great experience. Fantastic gym.
“Voted Best of Flag for 2024”-Flagstaff Community Nice facility, challenging team, and awesome coach. Reviews never lie.
Greg runs a really good gym here. A good community of people who really do appreciate jujutsu and a traditional and non-traditional sense (with gi and no gi). If your looking to get a full understand of BJJ this is a good gym for you.
Welcoming atmosphere with a great group of martial artists! Would recommend to beginners and experienced athletes alike
Greg is an amazing professor that has cultivated a warm and welcoming culture, as well as great rolls and training partners. We came from out of town to visit Flagstaff and couldn’t be happier to have stepped into Averitt Jiu Jitsu!
Stopped in with my son for a few classes while in the area for the holidays. Greg, and everyone else, was very welcoming. Picked up some great details on a few techniques and got in some good rolls.
Super friendly team, very welcoming to clueless newbies 🙂
This is the place to train if you're in Flagstaff! Greg was a great instructor, and I can now lay a serious smack down on them bullies!
This is a great place to teach your little ones how to strengthen their minds and bodies. We signed up our 3 year old and she grew tremendously mentally and physically. She turned 4 recently and she reminds us of the moves she has learned along the way. Coach Greg and Jess and all the other coaches were great at teaching the little ones what to do. And they made every lesson to their level easy for them to learn. And they made it very easy to communicate to them about our children. The older kids were also very helpful teaching the little ones the moves and I’m glad that they pushed them to learn each moves. There was fun and laughter, and everyone was respectful of each other and the kids learn that right away when joining up. Great place for kids to learn discipline and to grow strong mentally.
I have been taking my kids to Averitt Jiu Jitsu for over a year and they have improved so much in not only their physical strength but also their emotional confidence. They start the class with a quick warm-up and jump into skills training, then will have the kids open-roll to experience real-time matches. Greg and Jess engage, motivate, and encourage the kids to continue to be their best- both on the mat and in life. Putting my kids in this gym has been the best decision we’ve made this year!
Averitt Jiu Jitsu is the best in town! Coach Greg and Coach Jess are amazing teachers! Everyone is very welcoming and eager to learn. I highly recommend coming and going the team!
Does a much better job than most gyms supporting womens' training. Greg has fostered a genuinely great community here and I can't see myself attending any other gym in Flagstaff.
Dropped in for a class as a traveler. Was a very welcoming group of people. Great instruction and fun rolling.
Great professor that makes classes fun and challenging at the same time as very welcoming to new students. A great place to learn BJJ from beginner to expert.
I can’t recommend this jiu-jitsu gym enough! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, creating a welcoming environment for all skill levels. All the higher belts are incredibly friendly and always willing to help beginners learn and The community here is fantastic, I’ve learned so much in just a short time. !Five stars! !would recommend to all friends!
This is my first BJJ academy and the first day I never felt like an “outsider.” I would absolutely recommend this place. The culture here is amazing, it’s family oriented, and coach Greg has so much knowledge to share. Being here really empowers you to be involved and staying in the fight. Being here has been a blessing to my fitness, and mental toughness.
Great school! Greg is a super knowledgeable instructor with a great network of top AZ black belts that regularly show up for seminars. The school has a serious bunch of talented practitioners and competitors. Relaxed, cool training environment, but serious training. The only school my Phoenix instructor recommended when I came to Flagstaff.
Super nice, and i was able to learn so much under Averitt. Definitely the best place in flag for jiu jitsu
Amazing! So welcoming to new-comers both with and with out martial arts experience; would highly recommend for adults and kiddos!
Been attending for over a year now and couldn’t be happier. Coach Greg and the Averitt Jiu Jitsu team are amazing, our kids have grown and progressed so much in Jiu Jitsu, it’s pretty awesome to watch. Highly recommend Averitt Jiu Jitsu!
Great gym and coach! Incredible workout.
Overall recommend! Both coaches are great with my son and my son has came along way with building his confidence with the class. I am very proud to have him apart of the Averitt Jiu Jitsu fam!
Gregg
I had the opportunity to train at Averitt Jiu Jitsu for a few months while I was in Flagstaff. Greg and the people who train with him are friendly and welcoming. For me, the vibe of the gym is just as important as the level of training, and AJJ has a fantastic atmosphere. Greg cares about great Jiu jitsu, but he also cares about each person. Great kids program too.
Stopped in for some rolls as a drop in. I travel to flag for work and have wanted a place to train. Gregg was professional and thorough in his instruction. Even working through an injury nonetheless! Good mix of friendly, warm people. Super inviting, chill vibe. Will be back for sure. Thanks for the rolls!! 🥋❤️
Amazing place to roll and learn! I dropped in on an open mat with a warm welcome from the instructor Greg. He’s a cool dude and even gave me some great tips to improve my game. They even have an athletic trainer who taped my injury up! 100% will come back
Great rolls, really good pacing and scrambles definitely can't wait to stop by again
I have been training Brazilian jiu-jitsu for a few years now and I’ve had the chance to visit gyms around the country, I recently had the pleasure of participating in a session at Averitt Jiu Jitsu. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and laid-back, making it a very enjoyable experience. The session I attended was fun but also educational with a few great takes on techniques. The instructors were top-notch, training partners were cool people and skilled, it was just a cool experience. I also had the chance to observe the kids' classes, and I was genuinely impressed by how well they were run. The instructors kept the young students engaged and excited, fostering a positive and supportive environment for them to grow. One of the highlights for me was seeing the gym's strong support for the WE DEFY Foundation's mission. It's clear that they genuinely care about helping veterans through the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which aligns perfectly with my own values. A big thank you to Gregg Averitt for the warm welcome and for being such a great advocate for the WE DEFY mission. If you're in the Flagstaff area and looking for a BJJ gym that combines great instruction with a supportive community, I highly recommend checking this place out.
Best BJJ gym in Flagstaff! Adult classes at convenient times. I was nervous to join not knowing anyone or anything about BJJ but the welcoming environment, great instruction, and safe training standards made me comfortable and excited to keep coming back. Top notch customer service, I am moving and Greg offered to help me find a great gym in my new city. Highly recommend
I dropped in a no gi class while visiting Flagstaff and found everyone to be friendly and welcoming. I got to know Greg a little bit (while getting ankle locked by him like 6 times in a row). Super nice guy and a high level practitioner. I'll definitely be back!
Absolutely love this jiu-jitsu gym! Coach Greg and Jess are great and everyone here is super welcoming. Since signing up myself, both of my kids have joined as well. They can't get enough of it, and they're always excited for the next class. I’ve seen a huge boost in their confidence and discipline. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re interested in jiu-jitsu.
Black belt visiting from another state and this is a top notch jiu jitsu place. Fantastic instruction, welcoming atmosphere, and great rolls. It was a tough room which is what you want, but also a culture built around the respect and safety of your training partners. If you’re shopping around for a jiu jitsu gym, I highly suggest you give this one a shot.
This gym has absolutely the best vibe. The people are extremely friendly and welcome new people with open arms. I highly recommend this place!!
Averitt Jui Jitsu is worth the experience for anyone wanting to learn both physically and mentally. Comfortable atmosphere and very inclusive, definitely would recommend.
I chose Averitt based on how they were portrayed in their current reviews and social media presence. They resembled a gym where you are guaranteed growth in jiu-jitsu, and where you will make many great friends along the way. As of now, I’ve been going for almost 8 months and I can say they go beyond being just a gym and have given me a family away from home. I can’t imagine going to college without having such a supportive group of people, and a coach who clearly wants the best for you. This gym also brings in a lot of different people, and Greg is a great teacher and communicator. I highly recommend this gym whether you are a beginner or a more advanced martial artist, not only for the diverse training, but also for the great atmosphere.
I came in on vacation wanting to get a bit of training in - Averitt Jiu Jitsu is very welcoming, clean, and fun. It’s a great training atmosphere with a very healthy membership (men, women, all shapes, sizes, and belt levels from novice/white belt all the way to advanced/black belt). All this tells me Greg is reaching the community and spreading the love of grappling around. We need more jiu jitsu schools like this in every corner of America!
Great instruction from Professor Averitt! Great people to train with. Welcoming environment. I’ll train here every time when in Flagstaff! Thanks again!
Greg is a great teacher and very skilled. Me and my daughter both love ajj. I've moved around quite a bit and have trained at a few gyms along the way, but averitt jiu jitsu is the best by far.
Loved training here! I visited flagstaff for about a week and trained at Averitt for a couple of days. Immediately loved the vibes at the gym and was welcomed by Coach Greg and Jess! They are awesome coaches and even better people. I loved that there were lots of women who train here too, it’s a rare find sometimes. Highly recommend training here!!!❤️
Coaches Greg and Jess are absolutely amazing with our kids. After just a couple weeks our daughter's confidence improved. The other kids were very welcoming and they were patient while helping our daughters do the techniques. We weren't sure if they would enjoy it especially since one is more outgoing and the other is not into contact sports. They both had a lot of fun and we plan to continue training!
This place is amazing! Very informative and professional. I was a bit nervous stopping in for my first class, but they made me feel right at home regardless of my skill level. I would highly recommend checking this place out! You wont regret it.
My son (age 7) has been attending Averitt Jiu Jitsu for almost a year now. Coach Greg and Jess truly care for these kids and their success. They both are very experienced and teach the kids valuable skills. The kids receive a lot of individual instruction (very important) because there are multiple instructors helping the kids out each day. I definitely recommend this amazing family owned business!
Super awesome gym/program! Everyone is very willing to teach and so supportive. I am new to practicing any type of combat sport, and immediately after walking in the door felt the positive environment at the gym! Would highly recommend for any skill level!
Dropped in for a Monday night gi class while vacationing in Flagstaff (brown belt). Solid techniques and some fun rolls. Overall nice clean gym with good people. I'll be stopping by next time we're in town!
I have been practicing BJJ for 12 years and have visited many academies around the world. During a period in Flagstaff, I had the opportunity to visit coach Greg's academy. I was impressed with the pleasant atmosphere, the people's hospitality, the cleanliness of the environment, and the quality of the training. Coach Greg is a very attentive person, has excellent teaching skills, and was very welcoming. He has done a great job with both children and adults. The environment is very healthy. I definitely recommend this gym!
Great Gym. Greg is extremely knowledgeable. Plus, I love the intensity of the training. Everyone trains very hard and motivates others to do the same. Great way to lose weight, make friends & learn new skills.
I’ve been to a few gyms in town. This is the best! Great environment to learn and grow.
Greg and his wife are great teachers and the most passionate person I know when it comes to Jujitsu.
Great coach, Great students
Very welcoming environment
After the first night of training, I knew I was in the right place. Respect, encouragement, and expertise radiates from Averitt Jiu Jitsu. The community that has been cultivated here is very special. 10/10 highly recommend!
Great place if you’re looking to quickly make massive gains in your grappling game. The environment here is awesome with a lot of hard working individuals. Thanks Greg!
Awesome gym! Great people and coach love coming back and learning!
Great energy and great coaching! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for great classes and teaching.
I’m new to Jiu Jitsu, but in the short time I have been training here I’ve been blown away by the tremendous support from not only Greg but the other students. Very welcoming environment, positive, and supportive combined with the chance to learn some great techniques & skills! I highly recommend anybody considering Jiu Jitsu (or any martial art) to come check out a class and see for yourself!
I recently started training in jiu-jitsu at Averitt, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. It's an excellent place to learn BJJ and get a serious workout. The coach is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and he takes the time to explain the techniques in a way that even a complete novice like me can understand. In the couple months that I have been training, I have learned so much, and I am already feeling stronger and more confident. The atmosphere at Averitt is also very encouraging. Everyone is always willing to help one another out. Regardless of your objectives, if you are seeking a challenging and rewarding martial art, I highly recommend Averitt Jiu-Jitsu.
I dropped in from out of town and had a great time. Coach Greg is knowledgeable and runs a good class. It’s a laid back, friendly atmosphere which I really appreciate. Good rolls, cool people. Recommend!
I attended a no gi class on my way through to Phoenix. The instructional was good, and Greg is very down to earth. You can tell he is passionate about the students well being both in and out of jiu jitsu. I would reccomend this school. The class structure was 45 mins instructional/drilling, followed by 30 mins of live rolling.
I definitely recommend. I put all 3 of my girls in coach Greg’s and Jess class and it’s great.
I was a guest visiting from out of town on a 2 day trip. This facility is top notch! Super friendly staff, instructors super hospitable, and very welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely visit again when in town.
I used to do martial arts many years ago. Usually the ages of most places are younger. It's not the case here. I'm in my 40's and there are others in my age range. If you have any hesitations about trying it out, don't worry, it's very welcoming for people of all levels and all ages. Everyone was encouraging. If you are thinking about it, go try out a class and see if you like it. Worst thing that can happen is that you don't like it. The best thing is you found a new thing to do and a passion for it.
I was visiting Flagstaff for fun, missed bjj training and came to train at Averitt Jiu Jitsu. Great positive atmosphere, great kind patient people! Professor Greg was very welcoming. I hope i can come again!
This is our 2nd class and my daughter absolutely loves.. helping her get out her shell and be around other kids ... Greg and Jess you both are amazing...
I’ve always been interested in learning how to defend myself, but I felt very intimidated to get started. I shadowed one of my friends classes and I absolutely fell in love with it. Greg and Jess are so friendly, knowledgeable of the art, and oh so welcoming. Such a great atmosphere to learn and train in I HIGHLY recommend you choose this class.
The most welcoming and supportive environment I have ever experienced! I truly enjoy coming to practice skills and be with so many awesome people. I was worried I would become self conscious or not be able to pick up the skills/technique in the beginning of my training. In my first class, I didn’t once feel self conscious or like I didn’t belong. So grateful for this school and the individuals who make it possible!
A verity jiu jitsu is awesome! I am a new student and was welcomed by everyone with open arms, Greg is awesome and is willing and able to help work through all sticking points with each individual and is a great coach.
Really enjoyable class and environment! Everybody was super welcoming and kind, a great atmosphere to train in.
Greg is a phenomenon coach and is great with kids. He is coaching my 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter. I would highly recommend Averitt Jiu Jitsu.
Long time practitioner here: I’ve dropped into dozens of gyms, this one is top notch. Amazing instruction, clean/big gym and great culture.
Awesome gym setup with excellent coaching with lots of experience. Good training partners and a great way to stay in shape.
Coach Greg Averitt has Excellent Instructional classes. From beginner to advanced, from white to black, whether you are starting out or need a new club at which to train, Coach has created a welcoming environment and is there to push, help and support you. The entire Averitt Gym is awesome!
Miah was very nervous about joining and he’s only a week in but every evening he’s dressed and ready to go. The atmosphere Greg provides for the kids to learn is everything. Thank you for providing a welcoming and safe place for all. You’re patience and encouragement is next level and really makes a difference even for the most reluctant lol thank you!
Great instruction for kids and adults alike. We are happy to be a part of Averitt JJ!
Very welcoming atmosphere with quality teaching even for beginners!
AJJ has a welcoming community with an awesome environment for learning. I love the training and the amazing teaching provided here.
I highly recommend this jiu-jitsu gym for kids! The coaches are exceptional, providing expert training in a fun and engaging manner. The facility is clean and well equipped, offering a safe environment for children to learn. The strong sense of community and character development focus to make it an ideal place for kids to thrive. My son has gained invaluable skills and confidence here. We are thrilled with our experience at this outstanding gym!
My daughter tried out multiple jiu jitsu places in flagstaff and Averitt was hands down the best of the best!!!
Best workout you can get in the best environment to learn safely and fun while doing it! 10/10 recommendation anyone to join!
It has been fun to watch my kids, improve their own discipline and gain confidence while working in this kid, friendly, and supportive class!
Averitt Jiu Jitsu is an absolute treasure! Coach Greg's coaching skills are outstanding, delivering a masterclass in technique, strategy, and discipline. His infectious passion and personalized guidance make each session truly memorable. The gym's atmosphere fosters camaraderie and positivity, with friendly practitioners and a collaborative environment. Averitt Jiu Jitsu is the place to be for an awe-inspiring Jiu Jitsu journey. Highly recommended!
Amazing instructors, great environment. Kids look forward to training daily. Everyone is friendly and work closely with the kids.
There’s a reason why Averit has the most reviews for a jiu jitsu studio in Flagstaff: it’s the best. Greg and his team are most welcoming- regardless of your experience. What I love most about Averit is the lack of ego. Greg attracts good people that want to work hard and learn- zero room for chest beating or grand standing. If you want to train hard and connect with good people, this is the spot. Excellent pricing. I have my sons in his kids class and I roll in his adult class. 10/10 stars.
Averitt is the best jiu jistu gym in flag. The atmosphere is great, the people who attend are amazing. Everyone is there helping each other and establishing friendships. Greg is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. He's the best jiu jitsu instructor I've trained with. It's a great community and a fantastic art to learn. This school is quickly becoming the Pinnacle of jiu jitsu in flagstaff. Greg is well experienced and well connected with top black belts in AZ, big city instruction in a small northern town.
Greg and his team are so wonderful. They are all knowledgeable, kind, patient, and skilled. And I can tell they actual like teaching kids! My 7-year daughter loves going to class every week, and I’m thrilled she’s learning what she needs to keep her safe in almost any situation as she gets older. I highly recommend Greg as a teacher, and Averitt.
Starting out training jiu jitsu can be anxiety provoking but Greg provides a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere and is very knowledgable in his craft. The other students are good people and even better training partners. Overall a great place to train hard and learn a powerful martial art.
Best gym to train at in Flagstaff! Everyone is friendly and supportive, which makes for a great environment if your looking for a new place to train or just wanting to try something new. The coach here is amazing! Super knowledgeable, patient, and their love for jiu jitsu is clear in the classes. He makes even the more complex techniques feel approachable, and is always able to answer questions! The jiu jitsu instruction itself is top-notch. The classes are welcoming, challenging, and a lot of fun! If you’re looking for high level jiu jitsu, a great place to learn self defense, or just a place to get in shape this is it!
Greg is a great coach. He’s made it a very welcoming environment for beginners. I was intimidated to start training with no martial arts background at all, and now I look forward to it all day/week. My 6 year old daughter is also training with the kids’ class with no background and she absolutely loves it too. I love that we’re both becoming more capable, strong, and dedicated to something.
Such an amazing and awesome place to learn Jujitsu. Coach Gregg Averitt is extremely knowledgeable, humble and down to earth. He's patient and giving of his time and knowledge. I've attended both the Gi and Nogi class. Both are awesome classes. All the students I've come to know are extremely friendly and eager to help pass on the knowledge they are learning as well. I'm getting great workouts and learning something new every time I go. I am extremely pleased with his. I don't want to leave out the fact that he offers free classes at the Aqualplex that my kids and I look forward to attending every week as well! I highly recommend checking out Averitt Jujitsu!
Up from Phoenix and had the opportunity to roll here afew time. Can't say enough great things about this place. Greg is very welcoming as are all the students. Great atmosphere. If you are in flagstaff I would highly recommend this as the place to train.
AJJ is a welcoming gym, and Greg is a great teacher. He has fostered an awesome community and I really enjoy training here. Greg’s knowledge and skills make it a great place to always keep learning. 10/10 recommend.
