Conveniently located in Tempe, our martial arts classes are excellent choices for self-defense, discipline, and fitness for all ages & fitness levels.
Both my sister and I train here. I switched from a different jiu jitsu academy to GD last year in May and have not regretted my decision since. There are many classes provided for all skill levels and age groups. Not only does GD supply an amazing curriculum for its students but also a natural formation of a family. Mental health is a huge topic of discussion as it can coincide with practicing jiu jitsu. Gustavo has many quotes on the walls to help encourage his students on and off the mats. Whether you’re looking to do this for fun or test your skills in competition, GD is the perfect place to learn from. Best coaches and teammates by far! Thank you for being so good to my sister and I.
Posted 1 year agoI moved from KCMO to join GD BJJ team! EVERY professor is there to help you succeed no matter your rank or experience. Thank you for your encouragement and training. See you on the mat.
Posted 1 year agoGD academy is filled with great talent and professionalism. The instructors get a feel for each student’s growth/advancements and adapt their teaching styles to fit the student’s needs. Everyone there is extremely knowledgeable and even the other students are very welcoming when it comes to new students entering the gym. In fact, my wife and I along with our four kids (ages: 14, 10, 7, 4) travel 45 mins each way to train here at least 4 days a week because of the family vibe and friendly community that has grown here. I highly, highly recommend this place to start your BJJ journey. If you already train, I encourage you even more so to come try it out and find your new BJJ home here!
