Testimonials
I love this place a lot, and the coaches/professors are very kind and helpful, as well as the receptionists/managers. I have been going to Verde Valley Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 2 and a half years, but I have been doing Jiu Jitsu for almost 5 years as of 2025.

Dropped into a class with Clay today and everyone at the gym was super welcoming. Clay is a fantastic instructor and Tawny was super helpful. I would definitely return if I was in the area again. Thanks for having me in!

The experience here at VVBJJ is exceptional. They have built a world class facility, brought in connected and knowledgable instructors, and deliver a wide variety of classes to keep everyone engaged and progressing in their training. My son has been in the kids class for ~ 30 days and the instruction is exceptional. Wish I could give more than 5 stars as their entire team deserves it.
