What Our Students Say

Lance Dunlop
"If, you haven’t been here already then you should definitely make it a point to stop by. Barncat is full of fun, friendly, knowledgeable instructors. Conor, Paul, Seta, Mikey will take the time to build you from the ground up with the utmost professionalism you’ll find from any gym. My family has been training Muay Thai for 5+ years and decided to take a leap into the world of JiuJitsu. We are so happy to be learning/training at Barncat. No matter your skill level they take the time to build you up. Everyone we have encountered who trains there has been kind, friendly, and willing to teach you all the idiosyncrasies of the sport. Got kids, come on in and start them out in the kids and/or youth program. Are you a lady who’s looking for a great place to get grounded in self defense without having to practice with only men. Join my wife and Coach Seta for women’s class, she’ll give you all the knowledge you need to be confident in yourself and to kick butt doing it. We are so fortunate to be a part of this amazing community and Barncat family! First class is free, guaranteed you’re hooked!"

Lucas Ta
"This gym is amazing. I came to Arizona from Oregon for work and was looking for gym to train at. I am so glad I decided to come to Barncat Jiu jitsu. The instructors Connor and Paul welcomed me with open arms. They’re very knowledgeable, patient, respectful, and down to earth. They are highly focused on safety, cleanliness, and give high level instruction on all techniques they teach. Everyone at this gym is friendly, helpful and well trained. Barncat is open every day of the week and offer a variety of classes that include both beginner, advanced, and competition classes for Gi and No Gi. If you are from out of town and looking to train, I highly recommend going to this gym. If I lived in the Tempe/Phoenix area this is where I would train permanently. Thank you Barncat for an unforgettable experience."
