Phoenix Down Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

I signed my 8 year old son up here who has behaviors and anger issues. I was hoping this would help him learn self control and how to handle bullying. He has learned so much in amonth in half and loves it. They are helpful, patient, and amazing with kids. They are small classes with 3 to 4 trainers to 2 kids in each session so I feel my son is getting the most out of each class. We go 2 times a week and my son is so excited to go each week. There is a nice comfortable room away from the mats for the parents to watch their child on 2 huge TV's. They offer bottled water for us each night as well. It has been a wonderful experience for our family. They also offered a walk through the first time and explained everything to us and showed my son a couple moves. We were ready to sign up and did that day! Great experience and we will continue for many years to come!

I wanted to get my 5-year-old into something new, fun, and structured since he’s high-energy and doesn’t always focus well. Phoenix Down did not disappoint! Jace is so kind and wonderful with the kids. He’s gentle yet attentive, and he quickly and respectfully gets their attention, reminding them to focus and follow directions. Beyond the sport itself, I really appreciate the way he teaches fundamental life skills—something even more valuable than the activity. Highly recommend!

Stopped by today for a drop in open mat with some buddies from the area. Trained under the coaches here a number of years ago at another gym so it was awesome to see their gym for my first time! Super clean facility, great waiting area with couches and video feed of the mats for parents to watch their kids train without feeling like the are hovering! Good rolls, good people, great facility! Best kids program in the area and with as tough of a roll as my buddy was I can attest they have an awesome adult program as well!

Absolute fantastic experience with this gym. Dane and Jace are fantastic instructors that will take the time to move you through the sport at your speed!

This place was an answered prayer! It came in highly recommended and didn't disappoint. Jace and his team are awesome! You can tell their passion for Jiujitsu and their patience with kids. My son told me the other day on our way home: the previous place I was at, there was learning but no fun, the one previous to that was all fun but no learning, and finally here (at Phoenix down bjj) it is both learning and fun, which is super awesome!!! We need more places like these where they can be guided into developing their body and character, growing up with confidence, where they can do exercise in a productive way and learn something that may become of critical importance. We just started about a month ago, but look forward to seeing what this will be like in a year and beyond... Keep up the good work!
