Best Mma Gym near Surprise, Arizona

5 STAR PLUS!! My 3 kids (4, 6, & 16 yr old) absolutely LOVE this gym! They have the best coaches and really give each individual the attention they require REGARDLESS. All coaches go above and beyond to make sure everyone is improving at each practice, no time wasted! It’s an easy going, safe and non judgmental environment. The Head coach still competes and is very much involved in all aspects of the gym. Definitely has been a great place for my kids to grow their confidence and discipline. Love this place and 100% recommend!

My kids and I train here. I have seen a huge transformation in my kid's confidence and demenor since starting. When we walked through the doors a little over a year ago, we didn't realize this place would be like another home for us. The coach's professional accolades speak for themselves as far as knowledge, but they are excellent teachers for kids and adults. They make class fun and enjoyable and also cater to your personal goals (fitness, self defense or training to be a world champion).

Wish I had the time to share my experience earlier but I was to busy, because this gym turned my life around. I grew up around Muay Thai all my youth- teen- age in a sport academy training for Olympics. I witness many champions growing up. Who trained hard till the end, despite of all injuries, that will be with YOU till the rest of your life. When my son turned 5 , we decided to put him in Muay Thai class, I've searched the town for the best gym, because I want my son to BE and TRAIN with/ like a champion, to learn discipline, respect, focus, defend, and in the same time to be fun. No success Unsatisfied. We just picked what is closer to home. Me thinking I don't wanna drive to far in 3-6pm horrible traffic. The pandemic hit, shutdown! And when finally everything it's opening back our gym was still closed. Then I found Cyclone Muay Thai in Glendale 45 min away, driving in the worst traffic ever!!!! I asked: -Are You Open? Cyclone: -Absolutely! I asked: -Info,Schedule? Cyclone: -Unlimited! -on may way All the other gyms offer 3 days /week practice witch is limiting my chances to make it at all 3. I was very happy to hear that at Cyclone we can practice 5 days a week. The gym it's very clean organized, very spacious well ventilated, very very friendly very welcoming , like home. And I'm honored to be part of the Cyclone Family. At the moment you walk in , it's very obvious the trainers are well gifted with determination! No Competition here. Me watching the first kids class in training my jaw dropped.... The progress (6mo) that I watch in my 8 yo Son it's unbelievable, he got promoted in Muay Thai(white/purple arm band) Jiu Jitsu (first stripe) He was so happy that he couldn't fall a sleep! He said that was the best surprises ever! And he adores his coach Taylor, best human ever. His schooling improved from bad to excellent! He is on top of the class as an exemplar! The progress I MADE it's unbelievable, after a traumatic surgery on my pectoral muscle, I couldn't move my arm, now I do a 100 onetwo's, 50 push-ups And 100 kicks!!!!!! AMAZING!!!! Training at Cyclone woke up in me a worrier that was defeated, kneeling in fear to desperation, destitute in spirit and poor in resistance! Now I stand Stronger then ever because We train hard, we get promoted , encouraged, motivated , evaluated, disciplined , improving the weakness, strengthening the fighter spirit and physically building resistance! I don't have enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation. Thank you Knight Family

I really love this gym for the kind coaches, helpful front desk, and best community environment. I was very intimidated the first few times, but now I get in knowing I'll be treated well 🥰. Whole family goes!

I’ve been training on and off for over 15 years and this is by far the best Muay Thai gym I have ever stepped foot in. The trainers are pros, very patient and very knowledgeable. They will work to help you and never let you struggle on your own! The workouts are incredible, whether you are there to compete or there just to get in shape, you will see results! Check out the numbers from my Apple Watch - even a 30 minute workout is going to burn 300+ calories. I’ve been coming here 4 months, 3 days a week and I’m just a few lbs above my goal weight. My absolute favorite thing about the gym is that we train as a family - kids, teenagers, adults of all different experience levels supporting each other and pushing each other to do our best. Nobody is going to beat you up! We were all new at one point and want to see you get better and reach your goals. Side note: I also tried a BJJ class (you can try any class for free to see if you like it) and they might be the nicest group of people you’ve ever met!

Phenomenal Experience at Double 5 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu My 13-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter have been training at Double 5 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the past five months, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Professor Ismael Aoki is fantastic—by far the most patient and considerate instructor we have come across. His approach to teaching is top-notch, and the level of care he gives to each student is unparalleled. The coaching team, including Chuck, Freddie, Ian, and Mark, is equally outstanding. My daughter was initially hesitant to participate, but now she’s the first one ready to go to class! My son recently competed in the Southwest Classic competition and took home the gold medal in first place. While I’m not saying everyone will win a gold medal, I can confidently say that the quality of training and support at this gym is exceptional. In addition to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they offer Muay Thai by the Cyclone WBC heavyweight champion and MMA training by a professional MMA fighter. I highly recommend Double 5 for anyone looking for serious BJJ training, Muay Thai or mixed martial arts in Arizona. This place is top-notch!

Visited a few different academies before trying Double Five and now this place has turned into a second home for us. Professor Ismael and his family welcomed us in and we truly cannot envision ourselves training anywhere else. Great staff, great atmosphere, very clean school, great teammates who push us to elevate our Jiu Jitsu, and most importantly we are treated like family and not just another customer. Try out Ismael Aoki Jiu Jitsu and you won’t need to look anywhere else.

I cannot say enough about how awesome Ismael Aoki is and for the way he handles his students, firm yet extremely passionate about empowering them. It’s a perfect compliment to the values and high standards that we have for our family. For a dad with 2 daughters attending. I need all the help I can get to help enforce a confident and positive attitude and mindset. We are truly blessed to be part of the Double Five Family. It’s a way of life!!

My kids and I train here and love it. There is world class instruction along with a family friendly environment. My kids have learned more than just good jiu jitsu instruction, but also are more confident and more respectful of others. I highly recommend this place for kids and adults.

Great Jiu Jitsu school. Awesome kids program and adult program. Great group of people. This gym also has access to Muy Thai and strength and conditioning for people that want to cross train. If you’re looking for a BJJ school in Glendale you found it!

Dropped in a couple of times for Muay Thai. I was on a roadtrip and wanted to stay fit. Coach Cyclone was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely drop in again if I'd visit Arizona again. - Bart, Netherlands.

Great gym, coaches are patient and there to help people of all skill levels. I've been to gyms where the only focus is their competitive team and everyone else is just so they can pay the bills, that's not these guys. I've learned a lot and already see improvement in my techniques. Coach Tyler keeps the classes challenging, engaging and non-repetitive.

The best Muay Thai gym in the area. Great for all experience levels and all the coaches are top tier. Everyone is extremely welcoming, personable, and willing to take time to teach each skill. The kid classes are awesome as well. This gym is great for the whole family!

Love this gym, as a Mom of 2 it would be easy to walk into a Muay Thai gym and feel intimidated to join, but not at Cyclone. They work with you at your pace while still pushing you to grow and be better. Thank you Coach Fabiano for helping me find passion and push towards fitness again.

I have been attending this gym for about 6 months and I love it! It’s a challenge every class. I’m so thankful for coaches that not only encourage me but also push me! Real fun environment, great for beginners and also those more advance. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
