Boxing is one of the oldest and most popular sports in the world and was earlier known by the name Pugilism, meaning sweet science. Historical evidence shows that boxing was prevalent in North Africa in 4000 BC. The sweet science is arguably the highest-intensity interval training workout. Most boxing rounds alternate between periods of maximum effort and active recovery providing both an aerobic and an anaerobic workout.

I stopped in during a couple day trip to visit family in Arizona and couldn’t have asked for a more friendly reception. The head coach Gerson was more than willing to let me train for a few days, even letting me drop in on the Thursday competition class. Can’t wait to train here again when I return. Unrivaled hospitality, good people all around.

I’m legally blind I don’t drive and it sometimes hard for to to get around or participate in certain activities. My experience at Roots was very positive. The instructors made sure to get me involved and also made sure I knew what I was doing and aware of my surroundings. The other students were very nice and made me feel welcome the moment I arrived. If your looking for a place to learn bjj and gain some friends at the same time this is the place for you.

This gym is very clean, has super nice people, and the instructor is very professional. This gym also has a gym session in the morning which is advantage with other gyms that dont have morning session. The place is always clean and the people there are always nice and willing to help you out. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

Just got to AZ and wanted to try BJJ. I wanted to find another way to get cardio and be ready for the Armageddon. Gerson is very knowledgeable and patient even when dealing with a grown man with a child's coordination. When I leave a class I feel a little more confident in my abilities. If you want a friendly environment and a killer workout this might be your place.
