I literally picked this place from a Google search for my 17 year old son who wanted to get started in martial arts with no experience. It is close to the high school he will be attending in the fall. I could not be happier with our choice! After he finished his free try it out week, during which gym provided a free gi and belt, he wanted to sign up for the 1 year contract. He is going to classes 3-4 times a week and it is SO GOOD for him. He comes home smiling, talking about what he has learned, and sharing the positive and supportive feedback he gets from teachers and other students. He stays after class to talk with the new community he is now part of. After spending last year stuck in the house with online school and having everything that gave him structure and focus taken away in an instant, he needed something to get him out of the house and provide him with some challenge and exercise. If you are on the fence or worried about gyms with attitude, I cannot recommend Universal highly enough. The owner, Jairon, is a very friendly guy and is also a student in his own classes. He was open with me that they get rid of mat bullies very quickly if any show up there. I am really happy and grateful for what this gym is providing to my son.

Fantastic gym. I wanted to get my boys into a grappling art and decided to try the gym out as it was close to us. Its been great! Myself, my wife, and my three boys (5, 8, and 11) have now been training BJJ here for a year.Prof. Lutrario is such a great teacher, and the environment and community are exactly what I was looking for - encouraging, educational, and friendly, full of people eager to help each other. There arent a bunch of egos, just people looking to make themselves and their training partners better fighters and people.If youre looking for a BJJ gym in the Gilbert/Queen Creek area, definitely come roll with us!

Awesome place. Instructors make it easy, fun and one heck of a workout. I highly recommended checking it out.

Great staff, great atmosphere. Id recommend to anyone wanting to try it out or thinking to commit.

Are you on the fence about BJJ? Climb down and join in, this is the right place to learn. Professors are patient, friendly, and fun. Try it! You might get hooked. ;)

Great professors and community. Professors are awesome with teaching the kids too.

My daughter trains here. We love coach Wyatt! Hes so great with the kids. We cant recommend Universal enough.
