One Ten Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

“5 Stars hands down. We had an amazing experience at One Ten BJJ in Scottsdale. The instructor is truly exceptional—not just as a martial artist, but as a mentor and role model for the kids. He taught my son so much more than just Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; he helped him grow as a person. When my son was struggling to adjust to kindergarten, BJJ made a huge difference. The discipline, focus, and confidence he gained through training translated directly into school—he now has perfect behavior in class and is getting straight A’s. I truly believe the positive influence of this instructor played a big part in that. One moment that stood out was when the instructor awarded my son a special stripe for doing well in school. That level of encouragement meant the world to him and to us as parents. The classes are small enough and exclusive, Michael does a good job watching his students and personalizing instruction that is tailored to the students existing skill level. He runs the kids’ class with the perfect balance of structure and fun—firm when needed, but always motivating and respectful. He teaches techniques that are not only great for competition but also emphasizes real-life application and, most importantly, safety. He makes sure the kids understand the responsibility that comes with learning BJJ. We are heartbroken that we have to move due to life circumstances, otherwise, we would’ve stayed with this gym for years. I can’t recommend One Ten BJJ enough. It’s more than just a gym—it’s a community, and this instructor is someone who truly makes a lasting impact on the kids.”

“Michael Darcy and One Ten came highly recommended from a friend of mine who competes and actually understands the BJJ world (neither of which apply to myself). I was looking for somewhere to get my son in to Jiu Jitsu. After almost a year One Ten has exceeded expectations. Trying to find a balance of discipline and fun with little kids is nothing short of impossible but Coach Michael does. My kid experiences frustration, pride, fun, and exhaustion each class, then still wants to go back the next day. Somewhere in this whole process I decided to start going to class myself which I never saw myself doing. It’s been one of best things I’ve ever done for my physical and mental health to start my day with an hour and a half of the mental and physical challenge of BJJ. Coach Michael’s teaching is great and he’s created a culture amongst the people that attend One Ten that is welcoming to new people who have never done Jiu Jitsu as well as people who have decades of experience. Would recommend One Ten to anyone 🤙”

“We are visiting Arizona for the week from Massachusetts and my two sons who train jiu-jitsu regularly (7 and 9 years old) participated in a drop in class and really enjoyed the training experience. It was fun, challenging and level appropriate. Highly recommend and look forward to training here again.”

“Great school where focus is on learning and technique and not games and filler activities. Lessons are taught by the owner who is a black belt and he gives individual instruction to each of his students. Owner is great with the kids and the lessons given are taking my ten year old to the next level. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend this school to anyone who is serious about their self defense and grappling skills. 10/10”

“Just got my kids started with jiu jitsu and it’s been such a great experience. Classes are small and my kids look forward to going every week. Highly recommend this place!”
