AT Academy has the best team in the valley. While smaller than other schools, you will have the best training partners and get the chance to pick the brains of the top coaches in Arizona Tanquinho Mendes and Allan Valente Di Lucia. Everyone is friendly, welcoming and willing to help you start you BJJ journey. There are people of all ages, sizes and genders to roll with so if you want to get good, come here!

Wonderful place to train. Hard to find higher level of experience and coaching in Arizona. I have been here for only several months so far but really enjoying the training.

I really enjoy training at Soul fighters, the people who train there are friendly, knowledgable and welcoming. Learning from the best in the world.

Of the top 5 life decisions I have made, starting BJJ over a year ago is definitely one of them. Starting BJJ with Soul Fighters is another.Not only are the instructors, Augusto and Reese, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, theyre also great people and I am so thankful for all their help and patience. They take the time to make sure everyone understands and is on the same page with the moves and offer plenty of guidance on how to improve technique and position. The training partners are just as helpful and comfortable to be around. The coaches and teammates will help get you where you want to go, whatever those goals are (self defense, discipline, healthier lifestyle, etc.,). Big thank you to Augusto, Reese, and the rest of the Soul Fighters team!

At this gym they treat you like you are family and bring you in to become great. Coming to this gym I not only learned to sharpen my skills I’ve been brought into a family that cares about not only your success but your happiness and future. Joining this gym is one of the best things that have ever happened to me and I wouldn’t change my decision for the world. World class coaches with phenomenal personalities that just can not be matched.

I joined this BJJ gym about a month ago and, wow, what a great experience! Tanquinho is a world class professor and his method is excellent. This place feels like a family and I can already see real improvements in my technique and even physical endurance. Also, the gym is always clean and provide high quality filtered water! Definitely recommend it!

This gym has been awesome! Professor is patient, but direct. The instructions are clear and I’ve grown so much. My training partners are so helpful. This gym definitely has a family feel. It’s a team environment. Awesome place to train!!!

Great place to train and learn for all levels. Hard work in a friendly atmosphere. High level instruction, whether you are training to compete or get in shape or learn a new skill.

Amazing place! Awesome professional and world champion! Considered one of the best guard passer of all times.Great person as well.He likes to give people very crazy and funny nicknames.

A very welcoming atmosphere and very approachable professional instructors. Everyone has been very gracious and helpful. You cant go wrong!!!

Great place and attention from the owners

I came here to drop some weight and get my body working again. Too many years in front of a laptop and a wine bottle had me feeling my age. I hit the big 4-0 and needed more exercise in my life. I tried a class and was instantly hooked. Awesome group of guys, world-class instructors, clean facility, and no drama. I highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to compete, or just get in shape.

World class training! Who else to learn from other than the best in the world! I can truly say that my game elevates after every class!

The best in the world so thankful I get to learn from Augusto, huge part of my success!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The gym has a good space. In my week free trial were super considerate with me. I definitely invite this place for everyone

The attention and focus given to each student is off the charts. Tanquinho and the rest of his extremely qualified team of Professors / Coaches go above and beyond for their students. As a group, they make sure that each student is evolving rapidly, but feeling welcome at the academy while doing so. You couldn’t ask for more when it comes to level of instruction from your Professors.

Positive environment, excellent teaching, feels like family. The experience has been life changing. I have watched the kids class and its amazing how they make the teaching fun.

Soul Fighters is a great gym with incredible instructors! If you are looking for somewhere to train, look no further. You wont find a better gym than this one!

Soul Fighters is a place where you can go to become a better you so come and train with us.

The past few months Ive been here have been a blast. The instructors care deeply about the students and what they want to learn. Augusto mendes the main coach is one of the best grapplers in the world and he cares for each and every one of his students. Reese one of the other coaches does a good job working with people of all levels and keeps it positive with an environment thats both positive and fun at the same time. One of the best jiu jitsu schools in arizona

An awesome culture for learning BJJ! The instructors are very knowledgeable and provide a good balance between letting you learn at your own pace while also pushing your boundaries. This has created a culture among the students that is very welcoming. A great place to learn!

The Academy is owned and operated by a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Legend-Augusto Tanquinho Mendes. Professor Tanquinho teaches daily. Not only is Professor Tanquinho a multiple grappling world champion and former UFC fighter, he is an incredible teacher. The facility is clean, spacious and the students are friendly. Best place to train in Arizona!

Phenomenal gym with enthusiastic and accommodating trainers. If youve ever had an interest in BJJ or staying/getting in shape Professor Tanquinho and Professor Allan are amazing. A truly special gym to be a part of.

Amazing academy with a professional attitude. Incredible athletes.

I put my son to free trial he loved the class, The instructors super attentive with the kids and then I signed him.

Best gym in Arizona with the best coachs. Amazing atmosphere to learn jiu jitsu, meet new friends and have fun.

Ive been with Tanquinho since his first class at this location and wouldnt trade those lessons for anything. Great instruction from all the coaches, good culture amongst the team, and family friendly.

Professor Tanquinho and the rest of the instructors made me feel like family when I moved to Arizona and joined Soul Fighters. They are all very friendly, respectful and have a high level of knowledge in Jiu-Jitsu. Professor Tanquinho is the most accomplished Jiu-Jitsu competitor in Arizona and he is also an IBJJF qualified referee so you know you’re getting the best information possible with his coaching and guidance.

My son loves it here!!

Wouldn’t be where I’m at with out Tanquinho, the best in Phoenix Arizona 100%

Great place to work out the kinks, no matter what your goals. Awesome space run by high-level black belt, UFC fighter, and Jiu Jitsu coach on The Ultimate Fighter Augusto Mendes. If youre looking to lose weight, learn self defense, or compete, you couldnt find a better place

Best Bjj Acadamy in the State, really good instructor and amazing new place!!!

If you are looking for a great place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Professor Augusto Mendes is a world champion competitor and professional UFC fighter. Instruction is topnotch for both competition and self-defense. I came from a strong family-oriented academy in Tucson and was immediately welcomed in with open arms and solid sparring that made me think of Tucson.

Great place to train from beginner to high level competitor, everyone is welcome. Amazing team chemistry where everyone works to improve one another.

I really love this place, all students are like family and help me improve my jiu jitsu, I definitely love all classes.

Great place!! My first martial arts gym, and everything about it was awesome!

Love training here, excellent coaches!

I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) for almost eight years. The AT Academy is by far the best place to train in Arizona. The academy is led by multi Black Belt World Champion Augusto Tanqhino. Classes are also taught by Black Belt Professor Allan Di Lucia. The instruction is the best you can find, the members are friendly and the facility is clean and attractive. I highly recommend the AT Academy to people of all skill levels or those new to BJJ.David Ratner

Augusto Tanquinho Mendes is not only a jiu-jitsu world-champion and UFC fighter, but also a fantastic teacher, motivator and coach. He and his instructors at AT Academy have an incredible system for learning and retaining jiu jitsu technique that needs to be experienced to understand.

One week here and I love it

High level instructions

Good instructors *

Amazing Academy!!!!
