Leah Sunna
"Had the opportunity to visit Full Charge while in the Safford area. As a blue belt from a different gym, I felt welcomed, respected, and supported by both the instructor and my fellow students. The environment here is professional, friendly, and inclusive. The professor is highly skilled but also great at breaking down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, regardless of your experience level. Highly recommend to anyone considering trying jiu-jitsu."
Jesse Castro
"Stopped here to finally check out Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here in Thatcher and it was beyond great. The professor was responsive via Facebook Messenger and quickly invited us to stop by and check out the gym. The gym was pretty large and had plenty of space to train. My kids attended the kids class and they both enjoyed the class. The professor was attentive to each student and ensured everyone followed along for the technique of the day. Most importantly he made the class easy to follow along and fun for everyone. If you have anyone of any age that wants to try out an effective martial art in the Gila Valley then give this gym a visit and you will be hooked. Thank you again professor!"

"My son and I both go here and it's a blast. The coach is great with kids and my son seems to enjoy it. The adults class is full of great people and competitors who are always willing to work with you and answer questions."

"5 Stars ⭐️ We are from Dallas TX visiting family here in Thatcher for the week. I am so grateful to have found Full Charge BJJ so we were able to train this week. From little kids class to big kids class, Professor Granger, and his coaches worked with the kids, stopping drills to make corrections to the technique. Then had the kids drill the techniques correctly. Anthony and Alexander loved the classes, and we trained all week not missing a class! I felt my kids were safe and the professor had good control of the class while still making it fun! We also did a private lesson which I would encourage anyone to do with Professor Granger! We loved it! Thank you Professor for letting us train with your students! Your gym is building Champions. It was an honor to train with you!
