BJJ in El Mirage

El Mirage has two BJJ-adjacent listings. The main dedicated BJJ academy is **Team Monstro Brazilian Jiu Jitsu**, an official representative of Fabio Santos BJJ operating since 2009. Head instructor Shaq Cruz is a black belt under Fabio Santos; co-instructor Andi Cruz also holds a Fabio Santos black belt, and the staff includes two additional black belts. The academy runs a structured kids program (Mini Monstros and youth divisions) alongside adult gi and no-gi. Fabio Santos is a long-established California-based affiliation with direct Gracie lineage, giving Team Monstro a credible upstream connection. **Get Some MMA** is a semi-private hourly training facility (purple belt, JCBJJ MMA Lab lineage) geared toward personal training rather than group classes.
