Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is more than just a martial art -- it's a combat sport, a self-defense system, and an effective fitness program. Our team at Mayko & Karen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can help you explore the ins and outs of BJJ and personalize a training program to match your goals. Whether you're hoping to learn to defend yourself and your loved ones, lose weight and build lean muscle, or to prepare for competition, we have your back.
Here at Mayko & Karen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we're proud to offer kids from Phoenix the opportunity to get high-quality Jiu Jitsu training from elite instructors! Sometimes parents think that the martial arts are all about fighting, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Our Kids Jiu Jitsu program is focused on helping cultivate strong values in our students, giving them the tools they need to enjoy lifelong success.
At Mayko & Karen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we get it. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a close-combat style that can be uncomfortable in mixed company or if you're just getting started. That's why we're proud to offer women across Phoenix and Scottsdale a chance to train with confidence in our Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes.
It's a very clean school with a High Level and responsible Professors and a great family environment. The top Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school to train in at Phoenix! Mayko and Karen are world class instructors and wonderful people! I highly recommend this bjj academy, Mayko and Karen are top notch bjj instructors, it is a great family atmosphere, they really push you to do the best you can.

Mayko & Karen BJJ is home for me and my family. This power couple exemplifies hard work and perseverance, as well as courtesy and respect. Having the opportunity to train with World Champion Black Belts under the legend Leo Viera just a few miles from my home is amazing. Mayko & Karen are kind and caring with my children. In the adult classes I take they're tough and inspire me to dig deeper everyday and submit myself to the training they provide. Our family loves MKBJJ and we'll be here for years to come.

So thankful for the opportunity to train at Mayko and Karen BJJ. I visited from Minnesota whilst moving my daughter to ASU. They were so gracious and the gym is spacious, crisp and clean with satin finish mats that are so nice. Learned a lot about spider guard. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended.

I've been bringing my son here since they opened back in April of 2019 and he loves it. It's such a welcoming environment and mayko is great at teaching the kids. It instills great fundamentals in your kids and gives them a great workout as well. I highly recommend Karen and mayko whether it's for your kids or as an adult. They offer classes for everyone, even a woman's only class.

We love this BJJ gym soooo much! Everyone who comes in is so nice and happy to be there. Karen and Mayko are amazing coaches who have worked so well with our daughter. She is obsessed to say the least and it’s become our new favorite way to spend time together! Can’t wait to watch her grow

The gym is big, well lit and clean. A very family friendly environment but at the same time the students are pushed to their limits by Karen and Mayko 2 very knowledgeable and experienced instructors who still compete and continue to evolve their games and share it with their students. Such a great group of people who are a pleasure to train with.

Amazing gym with world class instruction! Karen and Mayko are great instructors who truly care about their students and their success. The gym has a ton of classes to fit everyone's needs including: beginner, advanced, women's only, and children's classes with both morning and evening times. The gym is a family friendly environment, but will get you ready for any high level competition you wish to compete at. Karen and Mayko are also world class competitors and their knowledge shows each class. Thank you for making class fun and for passing on your knowledge!

My daughter started the kids class and let me start by saying it has been such a great experience for her. The staff is amazing, Karen is one of the nicest coaches I have met. Karen welcomed us with open arms and has answered all of my questions.
