PBJJF Phoenix Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Fitness

Negative experience: I hate to leave a rubbish review but when the management ignores you, i’m left with no choice. My son attended Phoenix BJJ and he did love it. However, when you rush around with kids to attend a set class to turn up and no one be there, it’s irritating. I contacted management and was ignored. Clearly the other parents were informed (we are all in a group chat) but nobody seems to think they should inform all parents and that it’s acceptable to just cancel classes without information. And then to ignore the parent when they ask if the class is on… Another child was waiting, granted he lives close by, but had we not turned up he would have been waiting alone. I was told that I would be contacted but days later he read my message and didn’t respond, so I have messaged again and I am now just left unread. I have asked for the month’s payment back, as that was the first session of the month. The group is lovely- but this is just extremely unprofessional and not how a business should be conducted. Clearly zero concern for the children and just about the money. I doubt i’ll get my money back, an apology or a courteous response so all I can do now is warn people so that they don’t experience the same crappy customer service or decency. Considering I have also spent £125 on Phoenix BJJ attire- leaving the club was not an action I wanted to take. We have found another club. I recommend any parents wanting their children to do BJJ should do the same.

Negative experience: Terrible, I was training only for one week, and the coach simply threw me out of the gym because (as i realised) scissor takedown is illegal, no warnings, nothing. I paid full monthly membership and didn't get any money back. The coach just humiliated me in front of everyone, and told me to never come back again. Don't suggest that gym at all.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Phoenix enough - great team atmosphere and always a thorough work out that you won’t regret! I’ve felt really welcomed in the bjj sessions from the get go and that says a lot about the members and the vibe here. Give it a try and you won’t look back

Fantastic experience: Mark is a legend of the game! Tried calling a few other places but nobody can compete with Mark. He's the best around both in knowledge and value given, just a genuine down to earth person who could kill you in a moments notice - probably why all his reviews are 5 star! 100% would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: PBJJF is a fantastic place, cannot thank them enough for the progress that my 12 year old has made in ability, fitness, and self confidence. Cannot recommend enough

Fantastic experience: My daughter attends phoenix BJJ, Mark is passionate and cares about (not only developing skills) but creating a community, teaching to be respectful and supportive of other team members and other competitors. Builds excellent Jiujitsu skills, friendships, life skills and teaches children to be humble. Would recommend for anyone thinking of taking their children or joining the Adult classes themselves.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Phoenix for just over a year now and wish I'd done it years ago. Grateful to have amazing coaches, teammates and new found friends. Looking forward to many more years ahead on the mats with these guys

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend going here , I started off unconfident and unwilling to to try new things , I will say this is the best thing I’ve ever chose to do , there’s such high positivity, the coaches are wonderful, and have such a great attitude towards their students! Everyone treats you with great respect and kindness , you become part of a family , 6 months in and I’ve loved every part of it! And as being 1 of two women who attend there , they make you feel just the same as everyone else

Fantastic experience: Our son joined the Phoenix family when he got attacked, it was the best thing we ever did for him, As a parent I know he can defend himself if ever needed, not only that his confidence has grown also it’s great to see. He now does something he loves and his sisters decided they wanted to join also Thankyou Mark

Fantastic experience: My two boys have been converted from football to now coming here and dedicating their time to BBJ and MMA. They absolutely love it, Mark is brilliant with the kids, great teacher, facilities and real family feel. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: My son started Brazilian Juijitsu and MMA with coach Mark from age 9. He has grown with the Academy with a high level of confidence and respect for himself and others. His mindset has valued what he believes in himself and now replicating that for his team mates. With being consistent going to his classes each week, his fitness levels have improved his strength and ability to be flexible. We feel so grateful that we made a decision to join the academy because it's been an incredible journey to watch our son developing what he needs to learn in life and feel supported by all of the coaches. It's not just a regular place to go to a club and learn the sport, but us as parents with Dylan are as a family with all the team that's growing there. He enjoys different variations of defence and when to react in certain situations, which is now setting him up to face challenges that may come along. The special effort that Mark provides for all the juniors abilities are outstanding and we can't wait to see more progress that our boy makes.

Fantastic experience: Started the kickboxing and jiu jitsu as an absolute beginner and had nothing but the best experiences all the coaches are amazing and genuinely put the time in with you highly highly recommended

They will all push you beyond your expectations, and you'll smash your fitness goals while learning some incredible Alliance-affiliated jiu-jitsu. Mark will bring out the best in anybody. Come down and try to tell me differently. To be honest, I never expected to be so addicted. I used to float through the week at work, waiting for the weekend. Now, I'm hyped on Monday, hyped on Wednesday, and hyped on Friday. All of a sudden, I'm loveing the journey and thinking about it constantly, even when I'm not at training. Send help.
