From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the business owner. The kids' class had just ended, and Coach Jonathan came over to talk with me and my two daughters. I signed my kids up for a trial class.<br><br>At the time, my girls were 10 and 7. We went back the following day. My oldest was with Coach Jonathan in the big kids' class on one side of the mat, and the 6 to 9-year-olds were on the other side with his wife, Coach Angelica.<br><br>My girls had such a blast. I signed them up. About six months later, I signed up for the women's class. We quickly made friends, and it's now been three years of training. My girls are gray and white belts, and I'm a white belt with three stripes.<br><br>VBJJ is a small, family-owned business, a very family-oriented establishment, and overall a great community with a great vibe.<br><br>If you're looking for a sport that will help your kids with discipline, bullying, building confidence, or maybe fo
My kids and I absolutely LOVE Van Buren BJJ. We’ve been to other gyms and often daughter would cry before class because she didn’t want to go. Not at Van Buren BJJ as both my kids love going and often say it’s their favorite part of their day. The coaches/owners Jonathan and Angelica are amazing people. They’re both so nice and personable and caring, not to mention excellent coaches. It’s a stark and much welcomed contrast from our previous BJJ gym. The gym is newer and still small and growing, but we like that as my kids get lots of personal attention from the coaches and we feel very much valued as a member of the Van Buren BJJ family. This gym encourages students to test themselves in tournaments, but it’s not the gyms main focus and only a handful of the kids regularly compete. Regardless, even when it’s just my 2 kids competing in a tournament from our gym, Jonathan is ALWAYS happily there to roll with the kids and get them warmed
Joining this jiu jitsu gym has been one of the best decisions my son and I have ever made. From the very first day, we felt welcomed, supported, and encouraged—both as students and as part of the community. Jonathan is truly exceptional: knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about teaching the art of jiu jitsu the right way. He’s able to balance discipline and fun perfectly, making every class something we genuinely look forward to.<br><br>Watching my son grow here has been incredible. His confidence, focus, and athleticism have all improved, and he’s developed real resilience both on and off the mats.<br><br>The atmosphere in the gym is positive and family-friendly, and the students are respectful and supportive of one another. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have years of experience, this gym makes you feel at home and pushes you to be your best.<br><br>We couldn’t be happier to be part of this team. Highly recommend to anyone
VanBuren jiu jitsu is an amazing place to train. Coach Jonathan and his wife are first class Coaches, Competitors and people. They set a great example on and off the mat for their students which is so important. Jonathan is patient, detail oriented, and always willing to explain both the physical/technical aspects. I've only been a student there for a little over two months now but in that short time, the camaraderie and brotherhood I've experienced there, the technical expertise which is taught there, combined with the personal hands-on approach from Coach Jonathan that pervades the entire school there, has made my experience there amazing & extremely special. Van Burens Assistant Coaches Keith and Stuart are excellent coaches as well who offer great knowledge and expertise in all aspects. I highly recommend Van Buren jiujitsu l!!
I’ve been training Jiu-Jitsu since 2015 and moved to Arizona a couple of years ago. When I got here, I was looking for a gym that felt open-minded and laid back (somewhere without the cult-like vibe you sometimes see) and a place I could enjoy No-Gi training and decompress from everyday life.<br><br>Van Buren JiuJitsu checked all of those boxes for me. Jonathan is a great coach and, more importantly, a genuinely good human being. The atmosphere is welcoming, the training is solid, and safe.<br><br>Finding this gym made settling into Arizona a lot easier for me. If you’re looking for a Jiu-Jitsu school that’s real, and focused on good training without the ego, this is a great place to be.
From the moment you walk in, you feel the sense of family, respect, and hard work that sets this gym apart. Coach VB leads with experience, patience, intensity and genuine care for every student—whether you’re just starting out or competing at a high level. The training atmosphere pushes you to grow, both on and off the mats, and the teammates here are some of the most supportive people you’ll ever meet.<br><br>I’ve trained at other gyms, but nothing compares to the community and quality of instruction at VanBuren. They’ve helped me level up my game, stay disciplined, and continue tro get better Jiu-Jitsu more every day. They also lead by example on how to become a better person on and off the mat.<br><br>If you’re looking for a place that values growth, humility, family and hard work, this is the gym.<br>Nathan thorp
