If you are looking for a great open mat with good vibes and good people, come here. I am in Phoenix for a few days from OKC and was looking for a place to roll. From start to finish Professor Jacob welcomed me and taught me a few things at the same time. Excellent place to jump in and test your skills if you are in town or looking for a place to train full time. Professor Jacob is a natural teacher even if its for a short time. Will be back. Until next time OSS!

The absolute best academy for kids and very affordable. Professor Jacob gives hands on training to all the kids and explains everything so the kids understand what to do and then he helps them get it right! They're not to big (for now) and not to small to individualize training. I highly recommend checking them out. The new location is going to be awesome!!!!

My 7 year old son loves his mini rollers class and coach Jacob is very knowledgeable and patient. It's a nurturing environment where kids can build confidence and develop life skills. The family atmosphere is a big plus.

Ares Phoenix is a spacious facility with a helpful staff and top notch instruction. I came here for a visit and was welcomed by the team. I had some intense rolls and learned some new techniques. Check this gym out if you are in the Phoenix area.

My family- ages 5 to adult all joined! Being new to martial arts, we were intimidated, but Jacob and Kristina have made it a wonderful experience for all of us. It’s a great work out and makes me feel more confident in self defense situations for myself and my kids. Definitely recommend coming here, even if you have no prior experience!
