UNIVERSAL FITNESS AND MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

Located at 7931 E Pecos Rd Suite 110 in Mesa, Arizona, Universal Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & MMA provides martial arts and combat fitness training for children, teens, and adults. The academy serves families across Mesa, Gilbert, Queen Creek, and San Tan Valley with structured ground fighting and striking programs. Instruction emphasizes technical leverage, timing, joint control, and defensive escapes rather than reliance on sheer physical size or strength. The coaching staff guides practitioners through foundational drill work, positional applications, and sparring sessions structured to ensure student safety and progressive athletic development. The weekly schedule includes adult gi and no-gi jiu-jitsu, kickboxing for students ages 12 and older, Friday morning open mat, and Saturday competition classes. Youth programming features age-bracketed classes for Ninjas ages 3 to 6 through teens, and prospective practitioners can begin training with a free trial class.
