Our Academy
A Scottsdale-Based Jiu Jitsu Academy
Madrid Jiu Jitsu & Self-Defense teaches Jiu Jitsu through structured, small-group classes focused on real skill development, discipline, and confidence. Training emphasizes decision-making, pressure control, and practical self-defense, not just memorizing techniques. The environment is welcoming but serious, built for beginners, families, and committed students who want to improve with purpose.
STRUCTURED SMALL-GROUP TRAINING
Classes are kept small so every student gets real coaching and attention, not lost in a crowd.
PRACTICAL SELF-DEFENSE FOCUS
Learn decision-making under pressure, real-world self-defense skills, and techniques that work when it matters.
ALL AGES & EXPERIENCE LEVELS
From kids as young as 5 to adult competitors, there's a program built for every stage of the journey.
DISCIPLINE & CONFIDENCE BUILDING
Jiu Jitsu isn't just physical, it builds mental toughness, focus, and self-belief on and off the mat.
Our Programs
A PROGRAM FOR EVERY JOURNEY
From first-timers to competitors, kids to adults, find the class that fits where you are and where you want to go.
ADULT JIU JITSU
The core of the academy. Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or preparing for competition, train in structured Gi and No-Gi classes built for technical proficiency, pressure control, and real-world self-defense, all in a challenging but supportive environment.
WOMEN'S ONLY BJJ
A dedicated training environment built for women, by design. The same high-quality Jiu Jitsu instruction in a smaller, more comfortable setting. Learn self-defense, build confidence, and develop real grappling skills alongside other women on the same journey.
CHILDREN'S JIU JITSU
Ages 5–12
Our kids program teaches discipline, respect, and problem-solving through age-appropriate Jiu Jitsu. Children learn foundational techniques, body awareness, and how to handle conflict with confidence. Classes are structured by age group (5–8 and 9–12) for focused instruction.
TEEN JIU JITSU
Ages 13–17
Teens train alongside adults in a structured curriculum that challenges them physically and mentally. This program builds resilience, self-discipline, and practical self-defense during a critical stage of development, the perfect bridge between our youth and adult programs.
