I recently had the pleasure of visiting Sonoran BJJ, and I have to say, it’s easily one of the best academy's I’ve trained at. The facility is spotless and well maintained, providing a comfortable environment for training. The staff and fellow practitioners are incredibly friendly, making me feel right at home even as a visitor. The instruction here is top tier. The coaches break down techniques in a way that’s clear and accessible, and they’re always available to offer valuable feedback. You can tell they truly care about the progress of their students, no matter your skill level. If you’re in the area or just visiting, Sonora BJJ is a must try. It’s rare to find a school that offers such a welcoming environment with world class instruction. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town!

My kids are part of Sonoran bjj for almost 2 years and it was the best decision we made for them. It’s a great place to train and learn jiu jitsu.Coaches are amazing, knowledgeable, patient and very passionate about helping kids improve and gain confidence which they need in this world. We love all of them. The atmosphere at the gym is welcoming and friendly and there is a strong sense of community , respect and discipline . There is a lot of hard work, but everyone is more than ready to help and look out for each other . Gym itself is clean, spacious with room for parents to sit around. Overall it is a great gym for kids (and adults) to join and be part of.

Our family travels constantly, so trying to find a good place to keep up with our training can be a challenge. When we got to Tucson, we tried several places, but Sonoran stood out. The coaches made us feel welcome, and were always patient and clear with instructions. The other students were friendly, and there were no egos on the mat. The practice area is very large, which means your rolls rarely take you into a collision course with another pair. All this, combined with a very affordable rate, makes Sonoran the perfect place for all levels to come and train. Anytime we make our way back to Tucson, this will be our gym.

I've been training at Sonoran for around 4 years now, and it's been an amazing experience. From day one, I felt welcomed by everyone. The gym has a fantastic atmosphere, with a real sense of camaraderie among the students. The instructors are highly skilled and knowledgeable, with a clear passion for Jiujitsu. They're excellent at breaking down techniques and providing individual attention to help everyone progress. If you're looking for a friendly and effective place to learn Jiujitsu, look no further than Sonoran BJJ.

Our family trains in Yuba City, CA (Shout out Ground Up BJJ Academy!) and are here for the week for vacation. This gym immediately stood out to us and also our professor who recommended this gym when he checked you guys out online. The online site and Instagram are clean, easy to navigate, and immediately made us want to visit. Our kids did the 4:15 class and the coaches were amazing. They had a great time and we loved the way they approach teaching. My wife and I hopped in the next class with her brother (his first class) and we had an amazing time. Amazing coaching, and immediate good vibes all around. We hope to get more training in here before we head back. Great staff, team and beautiful gym btw! If we ever move here man…this is going to be the spot. Thank you so much for having us you guys!
