Great gym, everyone was very welcoming and hospitable to me while I was visiting. Not to mention, the practitioners were skillful.

Trained here for a couple weeks before going to another gym, due to friends. It is very family oriented. Shaq and Andy are great people but they also have careers which kinda sucks for me because I would like the option to train in the morning. Prices are the best in town, overall I may go back to train with these guys cause the people were cool and I like Both Shaq and Andy. I just needed more room (they now have moved down the street to a bigger building, much more room!!!!) and more hours open.

As a globetrotting blue belt, I dropped into this academy while I was staying my parents in Surprise, AZ. I prefer smaller, more casual class sizes so, despite the limited mat space, Team Monstro fit the bill. Shaq and Andy are very good instructors and run a casual, family-oriented academy that's great for children and a healthy, playful atmosphere for us older grapplers. The classes I've attended resembled more open mats than regimented competition boot camps. But everybody I rolled with was very respectful and welcoming to this stranger from San Francisco. If you're in the far west side of the valley, this is a convenient location to work on your jiu jitsu.

Great instructors and great learning environment for all ages. Solid Gracie Lineage and terrific training partners. If you’ve ever considered trying it out then come here. Of course do your research before picking a bjj school. How do you think I ended up here?
