Fight Ready

Fight Ready is a family-owned MMA gym in north Scottsdale offering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, kickboxing, boxing, mixed martial arts, fitness conditioning and kids martial arts for ages 5 and up. Several of Arizona's top fighters train here alongside beginners, parents and people looking to get in shape, and the head coaches have trained UFC fighters and world champions. Beginners are eased in with fundamentals classes rather than sparring on day one.

Classes run Monday through Saturday, with morning, midday and evening options, and the gym has free parking out front. Memberships are flexible and a free intro class is offered before signing up. The gym sits near the 101 freeway, an easy drive for people coming from Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek, Carefree and Fountain Hills.
