Dark Matter Jiu Jitsu/Ares BJJ Tempe

"I visited Dark Matter on 6/19/2025. Korey met us, shared about the process and a bit about his story. I have 3 years of consistent training and was engaged in the fundamentals class. The level of detail and drilling was GREAT. They have a good community of practitioners too who introduced themselves. If you are looking for a great learning environment with great teaching…you found it. 🤙🏾 oss"

"I've only been doing this less than a month, I believe, but I love it!!! I was nervous trying a new environment especially because I am on the bigger side and can't move so fast, but I wanted to challenge myself. I joined to help my fitness and to also learn to defende myself in different ways. It can be intimidating with not knowing as much as everyone and being that there's mostly guys; however, they are super friendly and willing to help you learn which I appreciate a lot! There are a few women. Some are experienced some are new as well, but everyone is super nice, friendly and willing to help as well! It made me comfortable enough to sign up and I hope to continue doing this for years to come at this exact location. I signed my little one up for classes also and I love that he's starting this so young. I pray that he grows a love for it to continue doing this for himself as he grows. I don't think I'll be able to find another welcoming place like this. Grateful for this experience! Oh and the music is always a vibe especially if you love old school rap! 😎❤️"

"Dark matter has an amazing instructor, just started practicing BJJ a month ago and I as a girl was very nervous but always wanted to try a combat sport, Corey has helped me teaching me the basics and also making me feel confortable about learning. Mentally and physically is the place that I was looking for. Besides is clean and has a really nice bathroom"
