Rising Phoenix Jiu-Jitsu Academy

“My 13 year old son started jiu jitsu at Rising Phoenix a few months ago and it was the best thing for him! He's gained confidence, friends, and loves it! He went from a kid who looked down when he spoke, with zero confidence, to a totally different person. He practices the moves at home and generally enjoys going every day! I would recommend Rising Phoenix to anyone interested in jiu jitsu and I can't wait to get my toddler enrolled, when he is old enough!”

“Awesome gym to train at for any belt level! Gym has brand new mats and is a very clean facility. Professor Steve is a top notch instructor and very professional while also being welcoming and approachable! He does a great job breaking down the drill for new people while also challenging the more advanced students. I’m sad I don’t live in the area to continue training at Rising Phoenix because I had such a wonderful time over the last couple days, but at least I know I have an amazing gym to go to on my Shaw AFB TDYs in the future! Thanks so much Professor Steve!”

“This place is great! I can’t say enough about the owners, the coaches, the teaching, the lineage is incredible in this gym and it is honored to the fullest. This place has a family feel, a home feeling with every level represented from beginner to top level experts as well as a good bit of seminars, and cross training with other gyms as well as some real monsters that roll in here! They also support law enforcement too which I love! And a great kids program I see a ton of medals being won at Rising Phoenix BJJ!”

“Absolutely great establishment with unlimited potential. At this gym your coach and training partners will be your team, friends and family. Coach Stephen lives BJJ, what separates him from every other coach is he continues to compete and refine his craft. Stop on by and join the Rising Phoenix Legacy!”

“Rising Phoenix BJJ is where you want to train! I started training with coach Stephen a few months ago and the team has grown so much in a short period of time. The kids class is booming, and the adult classes are amazing. Coach Stephen is very technical and a skilled practitioner. His coaching has already lead me to a GOLD medal win in a IBJJF tournament. He takes the time to work with you and ensures that you understand every step of each technique. The kids classes are amazing, each child is learning at their own pace and I’ve seen tremendous growth in my stepson, not just on the mats but in everyday life. He has gone for a 13 y/o with zero confidence, head down and zero eye contact into a strong confident young man in two months!! The entire team is great we push each other to be better. We motivate and uplift each other. Everyone at Rising Phoenix is more than a teammate or rolling partner. We are family! If you have been thinking about starting this journey, Rising Phoenix BJJ is where you want to go!”
