Mako Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kickboxing

“I’ve been at Mako two and a half years; I love the community Mike & Ivan have built, and my game has improved tremendously compared to the six years of off-and-on training I did prior to that. There are competitors and hobbyists, everyone blends. Very happy to find this gym/tribe.”

“My family and I trained jiu jitsu in Tucson for several years now. We joined Mako last June and wished we had trained at Mako sooner. Every coach is genuinely attentive to their students. Coach Mike and Coach Ivan are outstanding people and have welcomed my family and me from day one. Mats are spacious and clean. It is a drama-free environment. Everyone is nice and friendly. We love training here!”

“Great gym, great coaches, people, and facility. Amazing kids program coach Mike and coach Ivan are great with the kids. My nieces were nervous at first but felt safe and had a blast on their first class. Great Friday night class for the adults as well I love dropping in when I can, thanks Mike!”

“Mako BJJ is a fantastic gym. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and have a way of breaking down techniques that makes everything click, no matter your experience level. The facility is always SPOTLESS. The community at Mako is what really sets it apart. Everyone is friendly, respectful, and genuinely fun to train with. The atmosphere is focused but laid-back, making it easy to enjoy every class and roll. It’s a place where you can train hard, learn a ton, and feel like part of a team. VERY beginner friendly also, felt extremely welcomed from the start.”

“I have been training at Mako for 5 years. I have always felt safe and welcomed at mako, and have made some of the most incredible friends. The vibe is drama free, the training is top notch, and the partners are disciplined; each with a little different style that keeps you on your toes. Safety and hygiene are routinely addressed to keep our environment clean and our injuries minimal. Mike and Ivan have done an incredible job creating a culture of fun, safety, mental/physical discipline, and technical Jiu jitsu with a variety of instructors that routinely coach. You won’t regret dropping in:)”
