Arizona Combat Sports

"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."

"This gym is massive! I’ve trained around the country and have yet to find a gym with this much mat space! I’ve trained jujitsu for 7 years, in New Mexico. But moved to the area 6 months ago and have been training at ACS since. Personally only taken BJJ and wrestling classes at ACS. But there is many striking classes that are included in the membership. Steve Rosenberg (head coach) provides methodical curriculum for the jujitsu instruction. Techniques are detail oriented and lessons are cumulative. This gym is so welcoming to women athletes. There is a weekly women’s class that is run by high ranking women instructors. There is a culture of respect towards women. Male instructors are professional and respectful of boundaries. Instructors also prioritize safety of female athletes. The result of this culture is why there are so many high ranking competitor women athletes. Off the top of my head there are 3 women brown belts and 6 women purple belts that regularly compete in Brazilian jujitsu tournaments. Great culture, great instruction, and kind people. Highly recommend taking a visit."

"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!"
