This is a wonderful school … we are very fortunate to have a world class facility of this caliber here in the Verde Valley. The instructors, staff, and even students have been very welcoming and inclusive of me as a brand new student. When you’re new to BJJ it can be a bit intimidating and even overwhelming at first … this quickly evaporated as everyone went out of their way to help. It’s been a very fun experience and looking to learn a lot more from a great group of people! Highly recommend if you are interested in learning jiu jitsu. I should also mention the school has a lot of women and is very welcoming and supportive to everyone … martial arts can seem a bit aggressive in some schools. If you’re curious come take a ferry trial class and hopefully you will have as great of an experience here as I’ve had the last few weeks! Thanks to the whole VVBJJ team !

I love the curriculum at this school and you will too! Jiu jitsu can be intimidating like any new martial art. Verde Velley Brazilian Jiu jitsu is the most welcoming school you can ask for! Come check out the Verde Valley Vibe!

Extremely great instructors and very welcoming students— if you’re traveling to (or through) the Sedona area and want to get some great training in, the crew here is very fun and informative. I’ll be taking some great tips and tricks home with me and only wish I could train here more often instead of just visiting. The beginner class was very detailed and clear, everyone was able to follow along and advance their techniques, and the advanced class was just incredibly fun, in addition to being brilliant.

Friendly and welcoming to new comers! All levels of ability! My husband visited while we were passing through and he had a great roll. Weekday open mat (no gi) was surprisingly well attended!

Definitely my favorite martial arts school I have gone to. The instructors are all very thorough in their teaching, and make you feel very comfortable which is great, especially if you are new to BJJ and martial arts in general. 10/10 recommend to anyone no matter skill level!

Fantastic school. I've been learning Jiu Jitsu for about 2 years now (on and off at different schools). This is my favorite school. Clay the instructor is amazing at showing the techniques and explaining the purpose of each detail. Now they have another instructor for the next few months. This guy is so many levels beyond everyone else... He was explaining some basic, beginner move to a packed room and his technique was so refined, went into such detail, that he made the black belts gasp with realizations. There are folks from all walks of life here and everyone is very welcoming. Plus now I get to tell people Maynard from Tool threatened to knock me out if I got too rowdy for him. haha.

The most welcoming environment I've experienced anywhere, with the most phenomenal, world-class instructors. If you've ever wanted to try BJJ but felt it was too intimidating, this is your place! The curriculum for beginners, and all of the people here, are so incredibly supportive.

Love this new location. It's very roomy, great lighting, clean, bigger locker rooms, ton of bags in the Kickboxing/Muay Thai side and the perfect spot in town. From beginner to advanced classes. The overall vibe at this place is just amazing. The fact that they are so concerned about teaching you from the ground up including how to do things safely really means a lot. I didn't feel out of place coming into such a great facility as a newby, everyone is treated like equals. The instructors and staff are all amazing and very skilled. Can't say enough about it.

Incredibly welcoming and inclusive environmen: cool, fun and friendly staff; beautiful, clean facility. Highly recommended. I came down from Seattle for a seminar, and if I lived here I'd be at this school all the time!

My 2 girls(17 & 19 years old) and I all enjoy taking classes at this studio! Since day 1 we have been very impressed by the quality of instruction and the welcoming environment. As a female coming into a bjj studio for the first time I was pleasantly suprised! I was just coming in to sign up my girls and joined with them. The studio also has an awesome women's self defence class! I am so excited we have a place where we can learn new skills together and have fun!

Overall a very nice place but wouldn't really recommend for beginners. No real instruction given which can make you feel lost. More than likely a great place for people that are already experienced.

I dropped in to a class here when I was in town for a visit. Chris is very respectful and is a great instructor! Everyone that I met that day was very friendly and I had a lot of great conversations! Thank you all!
