I love this place. My girls started out as a try out and we ended up signing a year contract. You can see coach Kiko truly cares and is so genuine.

Kiko France BJJ is the best Brazilian jujitsu gym for all ages and skill levels. His family owned business welcomes everyone and feels like home. His classes accommodate anyone who is involved, while still clearly posing a challenge to the upper level competitors who are helpful and inspire those around them daily.I have trained here for years and I couldn’t be happier to be apart of this team.

I am visiting from Nashville and am very glad I found this place. Kiko gives you 100% attention no matter where you are in your game. I wish I had found him earlier. Next time I’m in town I will do a private. His students are talented and extremely helpful like Kiko is as well. I highly recommend this gym!

I am fairly early in my BJJ journey, but I already know this gym is the perfect fit for me. Such a positive atmosphere! Top notch level talent and Kiko has a wealth of knowledge.

Excellent instructor who is patient and very helpful. Pays attention to my skill level

Kiko is the man! Tons of knowledge and extremely welcoming to all skill levels. Could not recommend more to anyone interested!

My wife and I enrolled all four of our kids (3 boys / 1 girl) ages 4-9. The kids love it, and my wife and I are happy the kids are getting a workout while learning valuable skills. Kiko and his team are great with the kids. They break the class into exercising, teaching techniques, having the kids practice the techniques, and then the last 5-10 minutes letting the kids play. It’s a great breakdown for kids. My kids love going to class multiple times a week after school. The staff is very professional and safety is a priority. I would recommend Kiko France to any parents interested in enrolling their kid in martial arts.

Kiko is the best BJJ instructor I have trained under. He is incredibly patient and kind, and extremely knowledgeable about the sport. Each class is well structured with lessons and drills followed by live rolls. Kiko is actively engaged in each class, carefully watching and pairing the students against others who will challenge them appropriately. The culture is probably the best part about Kiko’s gym, with every person there working hard and extremely friendly. Many students compete regularly and perform very well in tournaments, but it is not required at the gym. Kiko helps every single person with close personalized advice and it really feels like a family each class. Can’t thank Kiko and his wife Maria enough and what a great gym to train at.

Kiko France BJJ is the best gym around, whether youre looking for a new hobby, self defense, lose weight, or to start competing. Everyone at the gym is very inviting and has a great atmosphere, Kiko and Maria make the gym feel like my second home. I always have something to look forward to going to Kikos and recommend trying jiu jitsu to everyone!

I joined Kiko’s gym back in January 2020 and I have nothing but positive things to say. Both Kiko and Maria and have been very professional since the day that I walked in for the free trial.I’ve not only learned a lot of great techniques since joining, but I’ve also had tons of fun, met a lot of great people, and got some of the best workouts I have ever had. I’ve also lost about 20 lbs within a few months after joining (for reference, I was about 205 when I joined)Kiko also has different classes for various levels and ages, including beginner adults and children.

The first day I came to the gym I felt nothing but welcomed. Kiko has taught me so many things about jiu jitsu already and I’ve only been in his classes for two months. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purse jiu jitsu.

I can’t recommend this studio and Kiko as a coach enough. Kiko’s true mastery of the art of BJJ combined with his ability to guide and shape anyone at any level is truly unparalleled.Kiko and his beautiful wife Maria have built a meaningful and impactful family business that empowers and strengthens people. I will be training with them for a very long time to come. :)

Absolutely the greatest environment for families and kids. Curriculum is structured for success and GOLD! Not a gym for the weak. BJJ BEASTS are created here.

Kiko is a great teacher and even better person. Whether you’re a white belt just starting out or a higher belt with experience, Kiko is going to help you become the best you can be. Hands down a great environment for students of all ages, and the best workout you’re going to get in AZ. If you are thinking about learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu you should look no further.

I have had the opportunity to train in different BJJ gyms. I have not found the quality in fundamentals taught by Kiko. He has a great fundamental lesson plan that strengthens your all around BJJ skills. This place brings a family oriented atmosphere. I am honored and privileged to train with Kiko. I recommend anyone who is wanted to start there journey to come and train with Kiko.

This is a great place to learn the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I joined the gym in September, and attending class is the highlight of my day. I originally was looking for a way to learn a new skill and get a good workout and lose some weight. Safe to say that Kiko has provided that for me. Within the first month of joining i lost over 15 pounds. Also, Kikos classes provide a safe and friendly atmosphere to learn. Kiko provides clear instruction and feedback so you can consistently improve your skills. The people in class are friendly and it creates a nice environment. Class schedules are convenient. I can not recommend this school enough to any one that is looking.

Cannot say enough good things about coach Kiko. I started my Jiu Jitsu journey with Kiko about 4 years ago. He provides quality instruction for all levels. Great programs for kids, adults and competition. Great family environment. I recommend Kiko France BJJ to anyone starting their BJJ journey!

Best BJJ coach and gym in The Valley.

I feel so lucky to have found this place for my 4.5 year old son. Kiko and his team are amazing! My son looks so forward to attending each week, its already taught my son patience, to follow directions and increased his self confidence. It has also helped with improving his concentration and of course... its an amazing way to release his energy as well as improving his physical strength. Thank you, Kiko and Maria!

I recently started training under Kiko, but have known him for a couple of years. He’s great as a person and as a coach. He cares about his students and you can tell he loves teaching. It is a great gym and I’m excited to see how big it grows!

The greatest coach I know. Not only me but my kids go here as well. Kiko gives all his students the attention to learn details on techniques, to help make sure we drill properly. He will definitely turn your weaknesses into strengths!

My son started here trying to find something very competitive. We found it! In which, it got me on the mat and competing. Life long goals with a committed instructor who knows his art. Thank you.Side note. I started at 240 lbs. I am now 221 lbs. Thank you.

Kiko is fantastic. I love training at his academy. You will too. Get after it.

Ive been training with Kiko for about 5 months now. Ive been to a few other bjj gyms in the valley but this was the perfect place for me. Kiko does an excellent job of getting to know each of his students and help them develop their game while having a great time. This is a great gym for beginners as well as experienced bjj players alike. Kikos gym fosters a great community and top notch training.

Best Jiu JItsu gym in the valley. I trained at one other location before a current student got me to switch over. Kiko is an amazing instructor and really puts in the time to make sure that every student feels welcome and is learning every class.

Kiko is a great Trainer for bjj. This is a clean gym, and he has great classes with nice people. I recommend taking personal lessons with him for boxing, and mma as well.

Whether youre new or experienced in BJJ, training with Kiko is one of the best choices you can make. Ive spent the better portion of my life training in a number of different martial arts, and he stands out one of the best Ive ever met.Kiko has a passion for jiu jitsu, and he lives, eats, and breathes it. He provides the level of attention you need to progress your game, and will teach you a game based on rock solid fundamentals that will prepare you for any situation. Great family environment, great instruction, and always a great workout. What more could you ask for?

I have a 4 and 6 year old enrolled in the kids program and I honestly can’t say enough good this about this place, staff, and Kiko. We truly feel like family every time we walk thru the door. Come try out a class or two, you won’t regret it!

I trained at a few gyms around the valley before choosing Kiko France BJJ. Kiko is an amazing teacher, who fosters the most friendly, inclusive, and hard working gym of all the places I’ve trained at. It’s the only place I’ve been excited to train at everyday.

Best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym in Scottsdale, really enjoy training here. Kiko is a great coach and is always watching out for you.

Great school and great teacher.Kiko is a great professor of jiu Jitsu in the gi and nogi as well.He spends time with his students helping them individually, which is nice for everyone training.This doesn’t happen at a lot of bjj schools.You can tell by his teaching how much he cares about his students and his program.His kids program is awesome also and his 2 boys train also train alongside the other kids.The school is clean, and well taken care of.You can tell they take great pride in the school and ownership.They also have Muay Thai training there.I Highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn from the best .
