Ares BJJ Goodyear has been the best thing for my 2 sons. The gym helped them grow in confidence and they’ve become well rounded athletes. They started in the youth program in 2021 and are still thriving at this gym.

My oldest son and I have been training at Ares Goodyear since January 2023, and we are so grateful to have such a high quality academy to learn and train at. The culture here is phenomenal. Professor Queixinho and all of the coaches are outstanding in their knowledge, ability to teach, and the way they engage with all students, regardless of skill level. The environment is also very safe for both adults and kids, and while there is risk with any combat sport, all coaches focus on ensuring students stay safe, professional, and respectful while on the mats. If you are thinking of starting BJJ or looking for a new place to continue your training, I highly recommend Ares BJJ Goodyear.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Ares BJJ Goodyear. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Ares BJJ Goodyear welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Ares BJJ Goodyear train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Ares BJJ Goodyear. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
