The closest serious BJJ academy for Tempe residents — 4.8 miles west of you, 10 minutes door-to-door via US-60. ASU students, young professionals, and Tempe families all train here every week. Your first class is on us.
Reverse-commute friendly: traffic from Tempe to Mesa is lighter than the inbound Phoenix flow, even at 5:30 pm.
Head east on US-60 (Superstition Freeway), exit Alma School Rd, turn south — Ares Arizona is just past Southern Ave on the west side.
Downtown Tempe, South Tempe, Tempe Town Lake / Maple-Ash, Warner Ranch — and ZIP codes 85281, 85282, 85283, 85284.
ASU students love our 6:00 am and 12:00 pm Adult BJJ slots that fit between classes; busy young professionals favor the 7:00 pm No-Gi block.
Whether you live in Downtown Tempe, South Tempe, or anywhere else in Tempe, you have full access to every program at Ares Arizona.
★★★★★"I drive over from Tempe four nights a week. The reverse commute is easy and the coaching is genuinely the best in the East Valley."
