Frequently Asked Questions
Are you available for seminars?
Of course. Please send inquiries to aztigermma@gmail.com with the subject header “Seminars.”
I’d like to come visit. What do I need to know?
We love having visitors, whether you’re a beginner or black belt.
You’ll want to fly into the Sky Harbor airport. We recommend renting a car for the 25 minute drive from the airport to Scottsdale.
Accommodations are plentiful, and we can help arrange for accommodations in Scottsdale.
Visitor rates are $25 a class, and a week long pass is available for $50. We currently do not have a “uchideshi” (live in student) program, but are well suited for those looking to commit to dedicated, daily training.
What is the dress code?
While we recommend that everyone has a jiu jitsu gi, we also train in a t shirt and shorts. Official AZ Tiger MMA gear is available soon on this site.
Do you and your students compete?
Personally, I have competed and won in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling tournaments, up to blue belt and many Striking tournaments as a Black belt. My victories have been by submission, KOs or points, and I encourage those that train under me to finish the fight.
I do not require my students to compete, however, I will coach them if they wish to step on the mat in competition. Only blue belts and above may compete for the Academy.
