BJJ in Glendale

Glendale's BJJ presence centers on **Artisan Jiu Jitsu & Wrestling Club**, founded by black belt Steve Aragon. The academy offers BJJ (gi and no-gi), wrestling, and kickboxing with transparent tiered pricing — an approach that distinguishes it from the typical Phoenix-metro gym that keeps pricing behind a consultation. The wrestling component makes Artisan a practical option for students interested in a ground-game base beyond pure BJJ. Glendale is a large city with room to grow; for the broadest class schedule, students in the western Glendale corridor often look to Peoria (Gracie Barra, Siege MMA) a few minutes to the north or Ares BJJ Phoenix locations accessible via the Loop 101.
