I can't say enough about Pro Edge. After visiting a few boxing gyms, I decided to give this one a…read morego--third time really was the charm. Walking into any gym can be intimidating, but from the moment I stepped in to get information, I felt genuinely welcomed. Unlike many gyms that immediately push you to sign up, the front desk staff took the time to explain their drop-in classes so you could try it out first. That alone spoke volumes. Each coach has their own unique coaching style and knows exactly when to push you and when to encourage you. That energy carries through the entire gym and creates a real sense of community. Even on your worst day, the members become your biggest cheerleaders. It's been two years now, and Pro Edge is more than just a gym--it's home.

Pro Edge Boxing & MMA is more than a gym, it's a family…read more When I first walked in, I wasn't sure what to expect. I hadn't boxed in years and just wanted to get back in shape. From day one, the coaches made me feel welcome and pushed me at the same time. Every class has great energy, and the mix of boxing, BJJ, and MMA keeps things interesting. What really stands out is the community. Nobody's trying to show off everyone helps each other, whether you're hitting mitts for the first time or preparing for your first fight. The coaches genuinely care about your progress and make you feel like part of the team. If you're looking for a place in Phoenix to train, get fit, and actually enjoy it, this is it. Joining Pro Edge has easily been one of the best decisions I've made for myself.

I was on a vacation trip to Scottsdale and dropped into a few academies to train Jiu Jitsu with…read morefolks in the area. I'm a Black belt with thirteen years on the mats, so I've been to many different locations over the years and have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly out there. Professor Ximenes was a relaxed, friendly guy and said, "Of course!" when I asked if he was amenable to me training with his 9 am class. No mat fee, no drama about uniform. Solid jiu jitsu instruction, which I'd expect given his competition pedigree. I got to roll with his students and with him. Again: no drama, no ego. An excellent class and a great start to my day. Thank you to Professor Ximenes and his students for welcoming a fellow jiujiteiro to their academy.

Great place to learn old school Jiu-Jitsu from one of the best Jiu-Jitsu competitors of all time,…read moreCoral Belt Megaton Dias! He has more competition medals than anyone else I know of, in the history of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I started training here back in high school, after seeing an ad in the phone book. I tried my first class and realized immediately, that this place was the real deal. Everyone was tough, but also very friendly and helpful. It is always nice to feel welcome. Everyone I met did just that, they made me feel at home in a place where I had never been. They also showed me how effective Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu could be after even a short amount of time. So, I signed up right after class that day. I could tell right away, that what they were teaching really worked (even on the most unwilling opponents). If you want to learn real Jiu-Jitsu, then this is the place. Megaton's is the first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in Arizona and the only one here ran by a Coral Belt. Megaton is the highest ranking Jiu-Jitsu instructor in the state of Arizona. If you want to learn a real martial art that really works, then call them to try a free class now!

They also have outstanding kids and women's programs that reflect the intentional, high-quality environment here.

There are 2 other Gracie gyms closer to me, but I chose this place due to the instructor's experience and I'm very happy I did. All the instructors are fantastic with teaching techniques and they all are very personable. The focus is on technique and safety. I walked in without knowing anyone and in a short time, I feel like I'm part of a family. My fellow students are great and everyone helps each other no matter what age or skill level. Nobody has an ego that I've experienced. I go as often as I can and when I travel for business or can't go, I really miss the place. I look forward to each class. Highly recommended -

My son only gets a couple of months each year to train these days because of his travel hockey, but he looks forward to every session. We're hoping his hockey schedule cooperates so we can stick around long past the summer. Cleanliness & Facilities: The overall cleanliness of the gym really stood out. You typically need to worry about the tumbleweed of dust and hair at a martial arts gym, but the staff seems to truly care about the cleanliness here. Front Desk Crew: The front desk team has been fantastic from day one. They welcome everyone with a smile, handle all of our questions about schedule and classes effortlessly and keep things running smoothly. Their upbeat support sets the tone for every visit. Coach Bobby's Youth Kickboxing: Bobby's kickboxing class strikes the perfect balance between challenge and fun. He encourages the kids to push their limits, celebrates their progress with high-fives, and maintains a positive, motivating atmosphere. He is also so loud and clear (in a positive and respectful way) with instruction, which is helpful to keep the attention of the kiddos. Coach Jackson's Kids BJJ: Jackson's BJJ sessions are so well organized it's like clockwork. No chaos, no random sparring from day one, just smart, safety-first teaching of cool techniques. We've seen other gyms where kids get tossed in the deep end and walk away with bumps and bruises. Not here. Coach Adam's Kids MMA: Adam's all about the fundamentals, and he makes it feel more like playtime than a drill. He's right there tweaking little details, keeping everyone moving, and cheering them on. You can practically see the "aha!" moments on their faces. Expertise & Credentials: The best part is that every coach is a master of their craft. They are professional fighters with impressive accolades, and they bring that real-world experience to training the next generation of athletes. Coach Helpers & Student-to-Instructor Ratio: Every class includes additional coach helpers, which keeps the student-to-instructor ratio low and makes a huge difference. You can tell the kids love all the coaches; they're always trying to team up with their favorite coach groups. That level of engagement shows the staff is doing a great job keeping the kids focused and interested.
