Ares East Mesa BJJ Academy

“I did the six week warrior challenge and it was great! The classes were not only fun but also challenging in the best way possible. The instructors are knowledgeable and super supportive, making everyone feel welcome, regardless of skill level. I loved learning new techniques and pushing myself physically while also building confidence. The sense of community is amazing, and I made some great friends along the way. I highly recommend Ares East Mesa for anyone looking to try something new or get into shape—I'll definitely be back for more! 🥋💪✨”

“Amazing instructors and team! The gym is always clean and Alex is one of the best competitors who can actually teach and coach. Come by and join the best BJJ team around. AEM offers many variety of class times with amazing instructors that fit all types of personal schedules, so you do not have any excuses to not train.”

“I attended a Saturday Open Mat and was immediately welcomed by both the staff and students. The gym has a wealth of experience on the mats, and higher belts are incredibly open to rolling with lower belts. They’re generous with feedback and insights if you ask, making it a great environment for growth and improvement. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking to train.”

“I really appreciate Ares East Mesa & their amazing coaches for creating a highly disciplined Jiu Jitsu facility with great energy being invested into our community & the next generation! My husband, son & I all joined & love the new skills & muscles we gain at each class. Their coaches are phenomenal! -During the first 6 weeks, I lost 20 pounds attending 3 awesome classes a week… I’m loving all the extra energy! Thank You Coaches Steve, Patrick & Alex!”

“Ares BJJ is an incredible place to train! Everyone is like a family, always willing to help and to support each other. I can't recommend this place enough!”
