"There aren’t enough positive things to say about Ares BJJ Goodyear. The staff, coaches, class times, routines and expectations have been phenomenal. All you have to do is walk through the door. You’ll see caliber and professionalism through and through."
Rachelle Nosan
"I highly recommend Ares Goodyear BJJ! We brought our son here to try out a class, and the moment he walked in he was so excited about it, he told me after class that this was his future. He wanted to be a black belt, and own his own academy and teach others jui jitsu. Professor Queixinho is very knowledgeable and welcoming. All the professors and coaches give a lot of detail to their teaching in a way that gets you excited to train and even compete. It didn't take long til everyone in our family decided to try jui jitsui too. It's been over 3 1/2 years now and we truly love this place."
Damian Barragan
