Arizona Combat Sports

This is one of the best training gyms you can go to in the state of Arizona, and in the country, in my opinion. The owner is exceptionally kind, and all of the coaches are professional and extremely helpful. No one ever puts you down. The environment is incredibly positive, and everyone is always trying to help each other improve. I highly recommend this gym to parents with children, anyone looking to get in better shape, anyone who wants to learn how to defend themselves, or anyone who simply wants a great workout and the chance to make some friends.

I started training at ACS in 2019. It is by far the best MMA gym you could ask for in the state of Arizona. Incredible coaching and staff, great teammates and a very welcoming atmosphere. I have made lifelong friends training at this gym and the coaching staff is deeply invested in your development. Even when I take long breaks or am inconsistent in going to train, teammates and coaching staff check up on me and care about my life and my health and every time I return it’s like I never left. I cannot recommend this gym enough, training here and making it my home away from home is one of the best decisions I ever made.

Been here 8 months now. I could speak on the mantly trumpets i had just with myself... there were so many. But what truly makes this place so special. Is the people. The coaches, the students, the environment.... your going to meet interesting like minded people. Who are hungry, driven, and genuinely inspiring. Everyone pushes each other, but there’s no ego—just growth. This gym isn’t just a place to train. It’s a place where you’re challenged, supported, and held to a higher standard. If you’re serious about getting better—not just physically, but mentally—this is where you want to be.

I think this is the best MMA gym in the city in my opinion. Could be the best in the state. I love how the classes are set up to challenge you and improve Everytime you go in. Perfect for beginners and amazing for pros. The coaches really know what they are doing and I think you would see significant progress within just three or four months if you are consistent. Excited to go everyday. My only regret is not staying for more classes in the day.

I wanted to take a moment to share our family’s experience with Arizona Combat Sports. My wife and I, along with our three kids, two girls and one boy, started training here in August 2025. From day one, the environment has been incredible. This week, my 13-year-old daughter told me that all the men she trains with are respectful and make her feel completely comfortable. As a parent, that’s music to my ears because I’m always watching closely! It speaks volumes about the culture here. I’ve also experienced firsthand how welcoming and supportive the community is. Everyone is happy to teach, and Coach Johnny creates a fun, engaging atmosphere that makes learning enjoyable. My kids also attend the wrestling class with Coach Trevor. I can’t be there due to work, but I love hearing how much they genuinely enjoy it. I think it’s worth mentioning that although they’re kids, they participate in adult classes and they feel safe, respected, and excited to learn. Arizona Combat Sports gets 5 out of 5 stars from our family!
