Mako Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
We provide two separate courses Monday through Saturday to address your child's specific needs. Some younger or smaller kids may be more advanced, and put into the Big Kids group, and vice versa. It's all about your child's protection, nourishment, and comfort level. Kids as young as four can begin to learn the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu, how to interact in a classroom setting, and how to focus.

Often times in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu you will encounter the argument of which is better: wearing the traditional Jiu-Jitsu uniform, or going with a rash guard and shorts (or spats if you're stylish.). Learning both is extremely important to your growth as a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and in your personal self-defense.

I’m new to the game but absolutely love it and that is in no small part because of the coaches and other members. Training is great exercise and an even better confidence builder and I can’t wait for my kids to join.

Such an amazing school! The coaches are great at making sure that all the students are learning and following along within the instructions. Everybody is super friendly and no one throws around their ego. 5/5 recommended checking this school out!

All three of my kids take classes and we love this gym. The coaches are fantastic, the learning environment is welcoming and I can see my kids growing. They focus not just on the skill of Jiu Jitsu, but also on the character of the kids. If you're looking for a Jiu Jitsu gym look no further!

Awesome gym and great group of people to train with. For some reason, Thursday night classes are especially amazing. 10/10 stars A+++++++ as they say on eBay.

My 5 year old son joined mako as an extracurricular activity to get him out of the house. After a few lessons it was so much fun that I joined the adult classes myself. We have been there for about a year. They have a ton of classes so scheduling is very convenient. And the cost is very affordable for all the hands on time you get with bjj black belts.

Great place to learn the basics of Jiu Jitsu for young kids. Coach Mike is patient and cares about the kids well being.

The new coach Izzy absolutely SUCKS! He needs to learn the kids names and USE THEM! He is way to loud, it's so bad that it's hard to hear what he is actually saying! His coaching style is not conducive to young children, if it doesn't improve I will be taking my son out of Mako altogether.

I've wanted to take up Jiu Jitsu for a while, after finally deciding to go for it, I'm glad I chose Māko. The coaches at Māko clearly have a passion for the art, and they radiate it. It's motivating. I'm new to the world of Jiu Jitsu, but I'm confident, that even with more experience, I'd be recommending Māko.

Mako Bjj is an excellent gym to train the grappling arts. Since I started there in June or July 2020 the experience has been amazing. Top notch instruction, lots of available times to train, great communication and safety especially in reguards to covid. Everyone that trains here brings the intensity without the ego. I tried a few other gyms around Tucson but when I stepped into Mako, i knew that was the place to be. On top of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we also get Judo and Wrestling sessions in. I recommend Mako BJJ for anyone looking to push themselves mentally, physically and make new friends along

One visit to this dojo and you'll realize that this place has a great all around vibe that feels like HOME. New member specials include instruction from not one but two black belts with a strong, proud, and reputable legacy to descend from.
Conversations that I've enjoyed here made me realize that there are people from all walks of life at this dojo and our dreams and vision of creating a jiu-jitsu community are aligned with service and altruism as examples for generations to come.
**new post! Did you know this dojo hosted a 4th degree black belt?! 😲 I have posted pics from a visit (Aug. 2019
