Natural Art Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu School - Tucson

“I recently started bringing two of my children here and we love it. This school provides a wonderful atmosphere for learning; they are patient but stern with plenty of positive encouragement. I can't say enough good things about McKinzie, Professor Vivi, and Professor Rodrigo. The women's class is also a fun workout on top of learning effective ways to defend yourself. Highly recommend.”

“I started jiujitsu at this gym and plan to stay here throughout all my training days! It started under a different coach/owner and has recently changed. I love both the old and new coach! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and friendly environment. Everyone here is welcoming and focused on sharing the love of the sport. Come give it a try!!”

“I really like training at Tucson BJJ School. Professor Rodrigo is an excellent instructor and the students are very welcoming. Great atmosphere for working hard and learning a lot. I would highly recommend to both beginners and more experienced students.”

“Professor Ramsey has created a gym where creativity and hard work are strongly encouraged, I had been at a previous gym before COVID so when I joined Always Forward I was so impressed by the quality of teaching and the quick improvement in my own game. Having a coach/mentor who is actively testing himself against competitors is such an invaluable tool for martial artists! I am glad to be apart of the beginning and highly recommend anyone interested to come take a free trial.”

“I’ve been training at Natural Art for a while now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best Jiu-Jitsu academies out there. The vibe is super welcoming, whether you’re a total beginner or have years of experience. Professor Rodrigo is an amazing instructor—super knowledgeable, patient, and always pushing everyone to improve. He really takes the time to break things down and make sure you understand not just the techniques, but the mindset behind them. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students’ progress, both on and off the mats.”
