I was greeted in the entrance by the most respectful people. They invited me in, showed me around gave me valuable information on their training. Overall they have a solid community, I can easily say that they are like a family.

If you are looking to get in shape, develop new skills, or start your journey to be the next UFC champion. This place is for you, I personally go to learn BJJ techniques and skills and keep flexible and strong for as long as I can. The instructors are super friendly and ready to assist you regardless of rank or skill level. I encourage anyone interested in beginning to start training again to give this place a shot. It is clean, spacious, friendly, and affordable.

The best martial arts gym in Scottsdale! There’s a wealth of knowledge among all of the trainers and owners and it is truly a community for growth and encouragement. Everyone treats each other with respect and kindness whether you’re a black belt or newbie. There are a variety of classes available from jiu jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, and muay thai. Some gyms are all about competition and dominating an opponent rather than developing and improving skills so than you can perform for the long-haul. Purebred AZ understands that the real art of being a great teacher is breaking systems down into simple concepts so that students can truly learn and progress. If you’ve ever thought about improving your fitness, confidence, and skillset with martial arts, Purebred AZ will be your home!

Milan (owner and black belt) has developed my Jiu Jitsu into something I never thought could be possible. I learned under his coaching that my biggest enemy was myself and he was aware of the mental battle I was fighting. I have been drawn to this martial art for a long time and almost gave up on the dream to try it. What I have learned at Purebred has directly impacted my life outside of the gym in a powerful way. PB has raised my confidence and self esteem as well as lowered my ego…..which is a good thing for me. The members are amazing and literally feel like family. Gerson is the other black belt instructor and is amazing with the kids classes at 4:30. My son has been trying it and loving to be on this journey together with his dad. Jorge is the striking coach and also a Brown belt in BJJ to complete the trifecta of a power team of coaches. This gym is world class and I always leave feeling better about myself. Purebred is the team and family you want to be a part of to start or enhance your martial arts journey! Come join me weekdays at 6:30AM and tell me otherwise!! 😁😉

Purebred in Scottsdale has been a great experience since joining the team in December. They’ve surrounded themselves with a wonderful team of coaches who are patient, thorough, and inviting. Whether you’re someone in your youth or someone older in life just wanting to get back in shape, Purebred has taught me that it’s never too early or too late to learn a Martial Art.

Truly one of the most inviting and hospitable BJJ gyms I have been to in Arizona. Every individual in the building is beyond welcoming and kind and makes you feel right at home. No egos, just friendly people with good rolls! Everyone walks up to you and introduces themselves and asks for rolls. None of the cliquey stuff some other gyms have. The space itself is beautiful. It’s squeaky clean with tons of equipment for all facets of training. It is deceptively large as well. Looking forward to spending more time here!

I came in today for open mat and the gym experience was nothing short of amazing. Milan and everyone at Purebred were so hospitable and welcoming to me and my friends. They all took the time to say hi, introduce themselves and Milan took the time to show us technique today. I will definitely be back- top quality training and great community. Salamat!

Purebred is a great place to train. I dropped in on vacation from Texas and found a really welcoming and positive crowd, and a culture that emphasizes cooperation and learning. Lots of skilled folks who can give you a tough roll and will make time to help you level up your game; at the same time it’s a nice bunch of people who are very unlikely to injure you. The facility is beautiful and well-rounded, with striking and strength training areas and a really nice raised ring. The mat format is designed in a very cool way, narrow and 100’ long so spacing is intuitive and can accommodate a lot of pairs, cutting down on accidentally rolling into others’ space. They clearly set this up knowing what they were doing. If I lived in town, this is where I would train. Thanks for letting me drop in!

This is the best BJJ gym in the valley! Instructors are top level and great with the kids too. This is the cleanest Jiu Jitsu gym I have ever seen as well which is important. They also teach Muy Thai, wrestling, and other striking. My BJJ game has improved 10 fold since I joined. They also have super clean restrooms with showers! Can’t say enough good things about the Purebred team and they have become family!

Nothing better than a great place to train from any given level! As a young man with asthma, growing up I struggled maintaining my health and breathing. However, coming to these classes i’ve been able to be at my own pace and push myself slowly every single sesh! The coaches are experienced and talented in their own right. They’ve been around the game for so long that they know how to adapt their teaching weather you’ve never done a contact sport to where you’re at some level, they know the right drills and techniques to get you to where you wanna go! Don’t get me started about the wonderful community! Everybody from all over the world that train in that gym are entirely welcoming and most importantly respectful! They walk around with honor, love and the idea of family. Once you’re apart of PureBred! You’ll find yourself always feeling like apart of the family. Everyone and all are treated as guest and you’ll see the hospitality as a newcomer to being apart of a community that starts from the youngest toddler on a stroller to the wisest oldest athlete working on the bag or rolling on the mat! Purebred has been a gym i’ve personally been looking for and i’m glad I finally found it! 10/10 100% Recommend!

Hands down the best MMA gym in the valley. Clean facilities, all new equipment, and the best team mindset/dynamic I’ve ever had the pleasure of being around. George is the best striking mentor I could ask for and it’s evident how much he cares about his students improving in the way he teaches. Milan and Gerson always greet me with a smile and provide a great experience for their members. I would recommend this place to anybody I know and it is absolutely worth the 45 minute drive I make every time. They offer boxing, Muay Thai, jiu jitsu, and a very nice weight room. Classes go all day long too.

George is and always has been the biggest positive influence for my abs. Whether it was from his incredibly dark humor or the huge amount of ab workouts he likes to throw at yah. Lol!

I trained in the Bay Area for a long time and purchased a home in Scottsdale, so I needed to find a new gym. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew that I had arrived at the new facility I would be spending the majority of my time at. No pretentious energy with all of the professionalism you want out of the instructors. Truly feels like a second family now that I've been training here for a few weeks. The coaches will match your experience level and give you the best training you've ever had. The value of the training for the cost of membership is unheard of in the area.

Highly recommend! This place is an amazing training facility with tons of mat space, plus free weights, squat bars and bench presses, not to mention the world class boxing classes and Muay Thai. Welcoming atmosphere and the coaching staff is really fun to be around and the technique is spot on. Who knew there were so many lapel attacks? Check out Purebred when you get a chance!

I am a beginner who has only been training here for a few weeks, and I'm learning very quickly here, thanks to the instructors' close attention to detail while I'm training. Whether you are someone who wants to learn a little grappling or you want to compete, they have something for everyone here. They are also teaching boxing, kickboxing, and muay thai as well if you are interested in striking too. The community the instructors have built here is amazing. As a Marine combat veteran myself, it's the closest thing I've found to having that group of like-minded people who want to push themselves for something greater. Everyone is nice, and they really push each other to get better every day. It's an honor to have the opportunity to train here!

This place is awesome! Very nice facility, good training and vibes. Been practicing jiu jitsu for 7 years and I decided to join here for the excellent coaching, team, facility and schedule. I have been interested in working some striking and am excited that kickboxing and muay thai are both available and included.

Purebred is the best gym around! Milan and Gerson are two of the best possible jiu jitsu instructors you can find! Not only do they provide world class level coaching on the art form, but also truly care about each and every single one of their athletes and students!
