Satori Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Satori Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded in Phoenix by No-Gi Pan Champion Esdras Junior, who brought his experience as a competitor and coach to create a space focused on practical, high-level instruction. Esdras’s vision for Satori is rooted in a commitment to sharing the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with students of all backgrounds, drawing on his own journey through the sport to guide the academy’s approach. At Satori, classes are structured to build a strong technical foundation, with instruction tailored for both adults and kids. The schedule includes gi and no-gi training, reflecting Esdras’s competitive background while honoring the traditional elements of BJJ. Youth programs are designed to introduce children to the discipline and confidence that come with martial arts, while adult classes provide a balance of fundamentals and advanced techniques for students looking to progress at their own pace. The academy is located on Thunderbird Road in Phoenix and is wheelchair accessible, making it possible for more people to participate. Satori welcomes visitors, and the environment is shaped by Esdras’s philosophy of growth through challenge and mutual respect. Whether preparing for competition or training for personal development, students at Satori benefit from a program shaped by real experience on the mats.
