Great place to learn old school Jiu-Jitsu from one of the best Jiu-Jitsu competitors of all time,…read moreCoral Belt Megaton Dias! He has more competition medals than anyone else I know of, in the history of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I started training here back in high school, after seeing an ad in the phone book. I tried my first class and realized immediately, that this place was the real deal. Everyone was tough, but also very friendly and helpful. It is always nice to feel welcome. Everyone I met did just that, they made me feel at home in a place where I had never been. They also showed me how effective Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu could be after even a short amount of time. So, I signed up right after class that day. I could tell right away, that what they were teaching really worked (even on the most unwilling opponents). If you want to learn real Jiu-Jitsu, then this is the place. Megaton's is the first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in Arizona and the only one here ran by a Coral Belt. Megaton is the highest ranking Jiu-Jitsu instructor in the state of Arizona. If you want to learn a real martial art that really works, then call them to try a free class now!

I can't say enough about Pro Edge. After visiting a few boxing gyms, I decided to give this one a…read morego--third time really was the charm. Walking into any gym can be intimidating, but from the moment I stepped in to get information, I felt genuinely welcomed. Unlike many gyms that immediately push you to sign up, the front desk staff took the time to explain their drop-in classes so you could try it out first. That alone spoke volumes. Each coach has their own unique coaching style and knows exactly when to push you and when to encourage you. That energy carries through the entire gym and creates a real sense of community. Even on your worst day, the members become your biggest cheerleaders. It's been two years now, and Pro Edge is more than just a gym--it's home.

From day one, the coaches made me feel welcome and pushed me at the same time. Every class has great energy, and the mix of boxing, BJJ, and MMA keeps things interesting. What really stands out is the community. Nobody's trying to show off everyone helps each other, whether you're hitting mitts for the first time or preparing for your first fight. The coaches genuinely care about your progress and make you feel like part of the team. If you're looking for a place in Phoenix to train, get fit, and actually enjoy it, this is it. Joining Pro Edge has easily been one of the best decisions I've made for myself.

The atmosphere gives more of a family feel than just a business feel. Jay, the team, and the rest of the coaches treat you as if you are blood related. It's always a good vibe here and so much more to learn as well as many opportunities this gym has to offer from Belt advancements to sponsorships to competitions and more! Not only does this place give a family feel to the environment, but the people you train with are awesome as well! If you are new, you can join the beginners class. But even if you want more of a challenge and are new, you will be taught in hard sparring as well. I've made some friends in this school as well. If y'all want to learn the martial arts as well as grow within this community, this is definitely the place to go to.

Nexus Martial Arts is a great place to train in Scottsdale, AZ. They replied quickly to our email,…read morewelcoming us over. The drop-in fee was $30. The facility, mats, changing room, restroom, and shower was immaculately clean. They had air conditioning and a water fountain. There is a separate room for changing and leaving your items in a cubby, so the side of the mat was tidy. The instructor, nicknamed Rasta, was a super friendly and funny brown belt. He was teaching a fundamentals class for white belts. But for us blue and brown belts, he showed us some extra stuff with the lapel called the "English handcuff." During the situational and open rolls, Rasta kept in mind our injuries, and found ways to control and tap us without being mean or being a bully. He showed us a lot of respect and humor. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in Scottsdale again!

This pathetic excuse for business owners know they did wrong. They know they're dishonorable, they…read moreknow they illegally charged my partners account for money that was not allowed to come out of our bank account. They are doing everything they can to bury their deceit and dishonesty. How more abhorrent and vile do you have to get to not only be guilty, but to then try to hide what you've done!! TRISTAN WALKER was a victim of illegal debits and over charges to our account without prior notice, verbal warning or email. If you support and stand by people who are unethical, unprofessional, dishonest, cannot take accountability for their own vile and backhanded behavior than this is the gym for you. We were members of the gym before Nexus, and then grandfathered in under the same contract in pricing from the previous gym. Eric, nor Gerson & Alex never approached my partner about membership pricing/contract changes a single time. Then the unauthorized debit came out of my partners account. My partner contacts Eric via text and this wannabe blue belt gym creep wants to come at my partner about pricing when no one ever had the basic human decency to have a conversation with either of us. This type of behavior is not only abhorrent, but extraordinarily unprofessional, and knowing that people are willing to rip you off after calling you, a friend and you have gone out of their way to personally help their business thrive is beyond a slap in the face. When Eric Baldev was the co owner of PureBred before Eric, Gerson & Alex Atoigue fleeced the original owner out of his gym we only knew it was a matter of time before it would trickle down to us so called friends and gym members. That moment has finally hit for us. These people have no honor, no self decency, and no respect for their members. My partner had personally helped Gerson for years training kids class so Gerson wouldnt lose pay and his position because Gerson couldnt show up to do his job and this is how my partner is thanked. Thanked by being ripped off, and disrespected to the highest degree with no accountability and no apology coming from Eric, Gerson or Alex. Gerson and Alex are some of the most deplorable two-faced and backhanded individuals I have ever met and encountered in my entire life. Eric has been in the gym numerous times and he comes off as the biggest gym creep on earth, and I have never personally felt comfortable being in the gym with him there ever as a female myself. But if this is the type of environment and these are the type of people that you wanna train and you want to be a part of then I love that for you
