    I had high hopes for this gym, but unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. The instruction…read moreunder Abi is equivalent of a blue belt, and not what I would consider technical or effective. It seems like there's a limited understanding of proper technique, and a lot of what's demonstrated would likely lead to bad habits in the long run. The classes often lack structure, and it's difficult to follow a clear progression in the training. Speaking with others in the Jiu Jitsu community, I've heard similar concerns--many have noted that he curses frequently, which makes the environment feel unprofessional, especially when younger students are present. On top of that, unless you sign up for a formal class, you shouldn't expect any instruction or feedback from him. Speaking of the kids' program, I'd encourage anyone considering it to take a look at their social media. The classes seem more like unstructured playtime than a focused martial arts program, which may not align with what most parents are looking for in a Jiu Jitsu school.

    I am new in town and came in to try out. They dont have any tryouts so you will be paying a 10$…read more"mat fee" each time. I was told to come back the next day for no-gi class because I didnt have a gi and wouldnt be allowed on the mat without one, "instructors rules". Josie advised me that the best option for me would be a punch card that is 100$ for 10 visits. I'm not sure why anyone would buy the punch card if you can just pay the mat fee and still pay the same amount. Overall it seemed they were trying to wring as much money out of me as possible with no respect for the sport. Past gyms I have been to always made me feel welcome and it seemed more about establishing a community and spreading good energy, not about making as much money as possible. I was very excited when I saw the BJJ sign driving by but now I just feel disappointed.

    I cannot say enough about how wonderful my first time was visiting Undisputed in Tucson. You walk…read morein, and you're greeted by one of the nicest gentleman named Brandon. You can just tell he loves his work and who he works for. He made me feel comfortable instantly. Then there's Molly, my boxing teacher. Let me just say - I hit the JACKPOT when it comes to my first boxing experience. She was kind, patient, empathetic, easy to talk to, and real. She is a badass with a wealth of knowledge and experience, but also so humble and generous with her time and energy. I truly cannot thank Molly enough for the best first experience. I will definitely be returning to Undisputed!

    I was let go from this gym after speaking up about misconduct. That alone should tell you…read moreeverything. The training is solid, that's the only reason this is one star. But the culture is toxic in ways that took me a while to fully see. Staff who are married or in relationships openly engage in inappropriate behavior with members. That's the baseline here. What's not tolerated is being a serious, independent athlete with your own voice. I had ideas for the gym regarding gear, content, improvements, that were taken and pitched by others as their own. No credit, no acknowledgment. Your place here is determined by how compliant you are, not how hard you work or how talented you are. Speak up, and you're out. Most importantly: I would not send any young girl here. I raised concerns about staff behavior toward young female members and was removed for it. If a gym's response to someone speaking up about safety is to silence them, that is not a safe environment. I came here to train and compete. I left because I refused to stay silent. If you're a serious athlete, especially a young woman, you deserve better than this.
