Averitt Jiu Jitsu

“My son (age 7) has been attending Averitt Jiu Jitsu for almost a year now. Coach Greg and Jess truly care for these kids and their success. They both are very experienced and teach the kids valuable skills. The kids receive a lot of individual instruction (very important) because there are multiple instructors helping the kids out each day. I definitely recommend this amazing family owned business!”

“I have been taking my kids to Averitt Jiu Jitsu for over a year and they have improved so much in not only their physical strength but also their emotional confidence. They start the class with a quick warm-up and jump into skills training, then will have the kids open-roll to experience real-time matches. Greg and Jess engage, motivate, and encourage the kids to continue to be their best- both on the mat and in life. Putting my kids in this gym has been the best decision we’ve made this year!”

“This is a great place to teach your little ones how to strengthen their minds and bodies. We signed up our 3 year old and she grew tremendously mentally and physically. She turned 4 recently and she reminds us of the moves she has learned along the way. Coach Greg and Jess and all the other coaches were great at teaching the little ones what to do. And they made every lesson to their level easy for them to learn. And they made it very easy to communicate to them about our children. The older kids were also very helpful teaching the little ones the moves and I’m glad that they pushed them to learn each moves. There was fun and laughter, and everyone was respectful of each other and the kids learn that right away when joining up. Great place for kids to learn discipline and to grow strong mentally.”

“I have been training Brazilian jiu-jitsu for a few years now and I’ve had the chance to visit gyms around the country, I recently had the pleasure of participating in a session at Averitt Jiu Jitsu. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and laid-back, making it a very enjoyable experience. The session I attended was fun but also educational with a few great takes on techniques. The instructors were top-notch, training partners were cool people and skilled, it was just a cool experience. I also had the chance to observe the kids' classes, and I was genuinely impressed by how well they were run. The instructors kept the young students engaged and excited, fostering a positive and supportive environment for them to grow. One of the highlights for me was seeing the gym's strong support for the WE DEFY Foundation's mission. It's clear that they genuinely care about helping veterans through the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which aligns perfectly with my own values. A big thank you to Gregg Averitt for the warm welcome and for being such a great advocate for the WE DEFY mission. If you're in the Flagstaff area and looking for a BJJ gym that combines great instruction with a supportive community, I highly recommend checking this place out.”

“Dropped in for a gi class. Friendly atmosphere and good technique taught by coach Greg. A good group of women to roll with as well, which is always nice as another woman. If you're in Flagstaff and want to train, this is a great spot!”
