From the reviews
Hands down the best jiu jitsu in Flagstaff and Northern Arizona. My son has been doing jiu jitsu for 5 years, starting in NYC, then Paris and now in Flagstaff. The instruction he gets at Insurgent is the most technical, detailed oriented and structured out of all the places he’s been. This place is that good.

I'm 1000 miles away from home and where I started training. I found this place here in flagstaff and immediately realized this is where I need to train. Mats are clean. People are friendly. I enjoy the 6 week positional break down. Other gyms, you might drill something one day and never see it again.
Great curriculum for both the seasoned athlete or the brand new athlete. Room is always filled with nice, respectful, and super friendly faces that give competitive matches. Morgan is a great coach and friend to the adults and to the kids. My 4 girls all love him and love training with him and the other coaches.
New to muay thai? Start at Insurgent Jiu Jitsu
Insurgent Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Insurgent Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
