ABOUT US

XMNS Jiu Jitsu Academy is more than just a gym — it's a home for martial artists of every level. Founded by Professor Thiago Ximenes, the academy was built on a simple belief: Jiu Jitsu has the power to transform lives. What began as a passion for the art has grown into one of Scottsdale's premier training facilities, serving students from Scottsdale, Arcadia, Phoenix, and surrounding communities.

At XMNS, we provide world-class instruction in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, No-Gi Grappling, Judo, Self-Defense, and Recovery. Our programs are designed for kids, teens, and adults of all experience levels. Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the very first time or preparing for high-level competition, you'll find the right environment, the right training partners, and the right coaching to help you grow.

More than teaching techniques, we focus on building discipline, confidence, resilience, and community. Every class is structured to help students improve both on and off the mats through consistency, hard work, and respect.

Our mission is simple: to help every student become the best version of themselves through martial arts, fitness, and recovery. At XMNS, we don't just train athletes — we build stronger people.

"More than just training — XMNS is about building confidence, discipline, and a strong community through martial arts."
