I train and compete regularly out of Paragon Arizona, Tucson. I was in town visiting a friend for a week, looking for a place to train while I was here. Impact was amazing. Super technical instruction. Welcoming environment. Super friendly community supporting this gym. If I lived here, I don't know why I would train anywhere else.
Thanks to the Impact team for giving me a gym home for a few days. You folks were awesome and I really appreciated my time there.

I've been training at this academy for just over two years now. I joined shortly after moving up here for work from San Diego. It was great to go from knowing no one to having friends that I'd just as soon call family from all walks of life and lines of work.
Come check this place out if nothing else!

I have been training at Impact Hillsboro for nearly two years now. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great way to learn self-defense and get in shape. Most gyms take on the personality of the head instructors- for better or for worse.
Not only is Richard Rangel (head instructor) a great teacher and nice guy, his patient and encouraging, positive attitude has set the culture at this gym. Each of the instructors are very helpful and the students have all been extremely supportive. Every once in a while a knucklehead will come in, but they never stick around because the atmosphere is one of humility.
I heartily

My eight year old daughter and I began our journey in jiu jitsu around a year ago, and my wife's about six months now with Hillsboro Impact. We have not regretted a moment of it.
Coach Richard gives clear and concise instructions ensuring we pick up on the small details. His knowledge of the science is second to none.
The environment he has created in the academy is great! As soon as you enter your treated like family...

If you are looking for a place to learn the art of Jiu Jitsu or simply get in shape I highly recommend Impact Jiu Jitsu (Hillsboro). The facility is spacious and clean. The students are friendly. I am new and it already feels like family. Impact Jiu Jitsu (Hillsboro) may have all this going for it but what is more important than that is the instructor. Richard is a highly decorated Black Belt. He has the ability to give clear instruction that a novice to Black Belt can understand and benefit. He is a great guy and I’m sure that once you meet him you will agree.

Because of my line of work I've move a lot and over the years Ive had opportunities to train at many high level gyms all over California, Nevada, and Thailand but when I walked into Impact Hillsboro I could imediatly tell that ths was a great gym from the display of medals on the wall and the level of techniques from the instructor Richard and from his students is fantastic.Also the sense of community that Rich gives to the gym is what makes it a special place people from all walks of life joined together under the banner of jiu jitsu is an awesome thing to be apart of. the people who train here
