If i could give 10 stars I would. I joined the Farias BJJ family years ago. It has saved my life - physically, mentally. Coach is literally world class (check his history) but is one of the most caring, kind people you will ever meet. If you compete, you have to join too! We have on of the most successful competition teams of any gym in Arizona. Anytime we compete we walk out with top awards for the most part. Not only is coach a world champion but he has trained up several students to not only win worlds but podium too! Come out! Join!

Carlos Farias is an absolute role model for his students from 5 years old to 70. He has been there helping my family of 5 stay in shape and able to compete in the sport and defend ourselves for almost 10 years. He is honest, his pricing is transparent and fair, and he has an incredible reputation in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community around the world. If you are looking for a place to start, please come on by!

Carlos Farias BJJ is a standout martial arts academy, with Carlos himself leading the charge as an inspiring and highly skilled black belt instructor. His dedication to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is evident in the way his coaching ensures both beginners and advanced students find value in every session. The gym atmosphere is incredibly supportive, with a strong focus on building both skill and character. Training under Carlos is not just about learning BJJ; it's about becoming part of a family committed to excellence. If you're looking to start or continue your BJJ journey, Carlos Farias BJJ is the place to be.

This is an amazing kid friendly and family oriented gym. Tried taking my kids 3 years ago when they were smaller and Professor Carlos said they weren’t ready yet. We waited a year and came back not only did I sign up my two boys but I signed myself up. It’s been one of the greatest things ever. We have been there for 2 1/2 years

This is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I went for three years then stopped due to…life, but I missed it so much that three years later I returned, and it’s even better now than when I started. It really feels like a family here. The coaches are amazing, and so are the other students. Everyone helps each other. Carlos and his team have created an incredible community in which you feel safe, connected, and inspired. It’s hard to find the words to recommend them enough.

I believe this to be a great place for kids to learn the fundamentals of the art. My son is 6 and pretty sure he has ADHD and they are patient and willing to teach him although he "rack disciprine" (south park joke either get it or you don't). Worth checking out.

Just started my first day + lesson here, really recommend it so far! You get a free week and they do a family deal where the 2nd person gets the monthly fee at half the cost! The instructors are very flexible with each person as well as patient. They can always answer your questions and I learned 5 new moves on my FIRST day!!

Moved to AZ in June and wanted to find a place to train. Carlos Farias gym is a family run business and the atmosphere there shows it. When I called for information, Carlos wife was there on the phone to answer all and any questions I had. The instruction that you receive is top notch and all the people are very welcoming. I can’t say enough how great this place really is. If you are looking for a safe and positive place to train you have to give Carlos Farias gym a shot.

I've been coming here a few months and love it. Carlos has a great kids program and my daughter loves the environment, plus there are plenty of knowledgeable people here to train with. It truly is one of the best, it not the best bjj gyms I've ever trained at, and I've trained at quite a few in my life. I've came to love it here and found a 2nd home, I've been treated like family since day 1 and I dont see myself leaving anytime soon. The instruction is excellent, classes are fun and the environment is super relaxed. I would hands down recommend coming here if you wanna train bjj.

Carlos and his wife Marisa are extremely friendly and take pride in keeping their gym spotless. Carlos (who is there all day, EVERYDAY) is a world class instructor AND competitor. All the other students, no matter what color belt/rank, are very friendly and helpful. If you are wanting to try BJJ out, give this place a try! You will be happy you did!!

The reviews by "Ninja" and "fornite beast" are inaccurate and incorrect. The school did flood, however, the owners did everything they could to remedy the situation and had the school back open in a week. My kids and I have been going here since June and we all love it. The coaches are patient and kind. The amount of confidence they have instilled in my 6 year old twins is amazing. I would recommend anyone to bring their kids and themselves to try it out. Carlos and Marissa are amazing at what they do. Please do not let one disgruntled child prevent you from giving this wonderful business a chance.

World class training with a world class instructor. Carlos Farias has done a great job of making jiu jitsu accessible to everyone. He reviews techniques if you have questions, goes over strong fundamentals in class, and has a variety of training times throughout the day. You see his dedication when he shows up everyday to teach and train his students to be the best. Other students at his gym are very friendly.

We were in town from Jacksonville Florida where my son trains at Fighting Chance with Kevin and Christi Synan. Christi recommended that we visit Carlos place in Mesa Arizona since he is affiliated with Roberto Traven while we are on vacation. Carlos and his staff are amazing. They welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home. Thank you so much for everything and we will definitely be back when we return to Arizona.

I have trained in a number of different schools and styles from the east coast to...well, Mesa. I love this school. Professor Carlos is an excellent teacher and exceptionally skilled in Jiu Jitsu. I am cautious with who or where I would train (I'm old enough to not heal quickly) and have been very impressed with the attitude of the higher belts who teach and reteach points I am struggling with. Fantastic workouts, great instruction and a safe environment to roll in. "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" is inscribed on the back wall of the school. I believe they live this scripture in this school.

Carlos and Team are family oriented and are always welcoming of new and old friends and family. Carlos is an amazingly vested and passionate coach. He teaches with the intent of helping you become your best. individuals learn so much more than the Jui Jitsu discipline, you learn about team work, humility, hard work, discipline, ethics and how to become a very humble human being. I have met some of the most upstanding and kind individuals through Jui-Jitsu and the teachings of Coach Carlos. Every Student that passes through Carlos Farias school and his teachings comes out with priceless skills, an understanding of Jui Jitsu and lots of new friends. There is a welcome matt for all at Farias Jui-Jitsu!!!

I took my 7 year old son to Farias BJJ because he needed to get more confidence and was extremely shy. At school kids picked on him because he was so shy and wouldn't stand up for himself. he has now been at Farias BJJ for 3 months now and LOVES it. We love watching his confidence grow daily as he competes against other kids and now at school he not only stands up for himself but he also speaks up in class and goes to the front to demonstrate. Carlos is great with the kids and has helped my son tremendously. Thanks Carlos!

Carlos Farias is a great instructor and a good friend to his students. He cares about making his students great jiu jitsu players, and spends a lot of time working with anyone who loves the sport as much as he does. His students are welcoming and foster the same kindness as their instructor. I was surprised how open he and his students where when I joined them for several open mat events. I train elsewhere but I would train at Carlos Farias BJJ otherwise.

My mom sent my nefew into this class, it was advertised as a one week free trial. After about ten minutes the instructor informed my mom that he wasn't ready. This guy put zero effort into teaching him, he is five and it was his first try at something like this. I'll say that this is not a child friendly place, frankly they seem pretty classless about it. If the kid wasn't ready that's understandable but at least have the class to let the kid finish so he doesn't feel bad leaving. The instructor could have handled that way better. If I could give you guys a zero I would. Treat kids better
