Since 2014, we have been one of the West Valley's leading Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Catch Wrestling facilities, proudly offering the Downtown Glendale area unsurpassed quality. We strive to take our respected Grappling Arts from their historic roots as dominant and powerful stand alone submission fighting systems into a more modern and devastating Hybrid Grappling format.
When trying out your first few classes, there's no need to pack heavy. We suggest you come in wearing comfortable athletic attire, and bring a bottle of water, a small towel and some sandals or slides for easy access on and off the mats. Once you have decided to commit to a membership, we can provide a small list of equipment you may need depending on your interests.

2021 has been such a rough year and has taken its toll on everyone but I began to notice a strong change in my 7 year old son. After doing some serious mom digging I found out that other kids where picking on him and that's when his Dad found BlackFlag. I wanted my child to defend his self and not just fight. I wanted him to know when & how to defend himself appropriately. Well it didn't take long (within 3 weeks) for him to learn how to defend himself. At this point I was all in, paid the whole year in full!!!! He had found the confidence to stand up for himself!!!!!! THANKS BKACK FLAG JIU-JITSU

I can’t say enough nice things about this club! They have the most talented and encouraging instructors (Gilbert, Rene, Nancy, and Carlos… to name a few), as well as extremely welcoming and helpful students at all levels. As a female who never tried martial arts before, I was nervous to get started, but this group immediately made me feel at home and taught me at my own speed. I’ve been attending Black Flag for a month and the lessons are challenging but sooo much FUN! It’s clear that everyone is passionate about sharing their love for the sport which creates an uplifting environment. I’ve

My teenage son was in a true funk for a few years it seemed. He was stuck on the computer for hours a day gaming. Then in the middle of May 2021, he said I want to box or wrestle or something. Gabriel was 7 months old when I adopted him and his siblings as a single parent, We have no other family out here. No adult figure I know trained in these skills. He researched on line and found Black Flag. The happiness and change I see within my son since I signed him up makes my heart swell! He found a second family there. The instructors are all amazing and he is constantly sharing stories with me. He

I've been training at Black Flag for almost a year now and it's by far and away the best jiujitsu gym I've ever trained at. The coaches genuinely pour into their students and the team is super supportive and encouraging in growing your skills and techniques. Most importantly, is how family oriented the whole team is. It legitimately feels like my 2nd family.

This was my first experience with any kind of grappling art. I am so glad I came across Black Flag Jiu Jitsu Club. From the moment I walked in coach Nancy was very welcoming and made me feel at ease. It is not easy to start a martial art later in life. The coaches, specially Gilbert Olivas, is knowledgeable in several grappling arts and uses that knowledge to make everyone well rounded grapplers. This school works with all ages and skill level equally. Everyone is important. Every one is welcome. Love this place. I have found my tribe.

I honestly really like this place a lot ! my mom enrolled my brother and I here last month (06/21) and it’s a blast. Everyone here is super welcoming, amazing and extremely helpful ! I struggle a lot with opening up to new places and people, especially with close contact sports, however with the way that everyone treated us, it made the transition so much smoother and nicer. Gilbert and Nancy are also super incredible btw ! they help my brother and I out and that’s something i truly appreciate. 173948/10 would recommend ☝🏽

Easy five stars! My teenage boys absolutely love training at Black Flag! It's really different from the other martial arts places they've previously trained at...the coaches at BFJJC are authentic, more hands on and what they teach actually seems applicable to real life situations, not just tournaments/belt graduations. My kids leave class both satisfied and inspired to practice and improve their skills. We love it!

As a 24 year old girl that watches a lot of true crime , I felt compelled in joining a self defense class for a while now .The way I found out about this place is because a coworker invited us to a fundamentals class he teaches on Saturday, oh btw did I mention that they offer a whole week as a free trial !! That’s nuts ! Of course I had to take advantage of that! I instantly fell in love with the sport. The environment in all the classes i attend are always upbeat and trust me you learn a lot ! I have never been so motivated in my life! I have seen so much growth in just a few weeks . The coaches

I have been attending Black Flag for about a month now. I have never done any martial arts in my life. The first thing I noticed was the fantastic culture of the staff and the other students. The majority of the higher belts or more experienced students take the time to teach and grow you but at the same time make you put in some work. The whole club encourages you to keep getting better and not giving up. All of the instructors are passionate about sharing this discipline and are patient with new students like me.
I look forward to attending class every day. This is great if you are starting
