You can't take that class and not get in shape. There is a similar class in the evening that is great too - just more people. If you get bored easily at the gym, you won't be bored in these classes. They are always challenging and you're learning to defend yourself while working out. I've been studying mixed martial arts for over 10 years and have been at Apex for 3 years and thoroughly enjoy it. I'm checking the "good for kids" because they have kids specifically for kids - don't bring kids to the regular classes.

I'm very disappointed with the way we were treated at this Gracie Barra jiu-jitsu school. While…read morewaiting for my son's class to finish, the owner rudely told us that "this is not a playground" and that we needed to either put our younger kids in the car or take them outside. As paying customers, we expected a more respectful and understanding approach -- especially considering how much we spend for our children to be part of this program. Young siblings naturally accompany parents to drop-offs and pickups. Instead of creating a welcoming environment for families, the owner made us feel unwelcome and disrespected. We came here for discipline and growth -- not to be treated as a nuisance. I would not recommend this school to other parents who value a family-friendly atmosphere and respectful communication.

I have long admired the art that is capoeira, but never had a chance to try it. I was searching…read moreunder Yelp's "black-owned businesses in Tucson" and came across this gem. I arrived a little ahead of time and got to meet the owner and some of the students. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. Class started on time. I especially liked how all of the students started together at the beginning then they split up the class so the experienced students could practice and the newbies could get more personalized instruction. This was extremely helpful as it taught us some of the basic moves and phrases of capoeira. The instructors gave helpful criticism and pushed you with an encouraging use of repetition. The dojo is bright and spacious. As a dancer and a woman of African heritage, I LOVED all of the singing and music (dem drums tho!!). It took everything in me not to break out dancing. The energy was awesome. The souls were full of life. There were no pretentious airs, like you might encounter at "other" owned martial arts studios. In fact, the owner encouraged students to provide any and all feedback, good or bad. There are classes for kids, teens, and adults. The adult class is at 6pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Do check out their website as it houses a plethora of helpful information. The first class is free so there really is no excuse. If I lived in Tucson I would already be a member. Sign up today!
