We Are ONYX.
Built Like a Family, Trained Like a Team.
Your New Home on Main Street
Onyx BJJ isn't just another jiu-jitsu gym. It's Safford's community hub where everyone—from first-timers to seasoned competitors—finds their place on the mats.
408 Main Street, Safford, Arizona
Our Training Schedule
Onyx Jiujitsu runs classes six days a week — built around real life and real families.
Morning sessions for early risers. Evening classes for parents, students, and anyone just trying to fit training into a busy day. Kids programs that fit family schedules, not the other way around.
What makes us different?
At Onyx, we care about more than medals. We care about growth, connection, and showing up for each other — on and off the mats. Our coaches lead with patience and purpose, helping every student build confidence, skill, and discipline one roll at a time.
Beginners train alongside competitors.
Kids learn the same sport-focused curriculum as adults — scaled appropriately, taught with intention.
And when class ends, the mats stay open. The lounge is alive. Matches play on the TVs. Conversations keep going. This is what We Are Onyx means — a place that feels like home, and a team that feels like family.

Testimonials
I’m excited to have my kids at Onyx because they’ll be learning discipline, respect, and self defense in a positive setting. It’s awesome to know they’ll be part of a healthy community both on and off the mats.
I’m looking forward to training at Onyx because it’s a safe, welcoming environment where women can grow in Jiu Jitsu and feel supported. The community here already feels different, it’s about building each other up.
from our owner
"I've trained at gyms across Phoenix and Tucson. I've seen what makes a place special—it's not just the mats or the instruction. It's the feeling you get when you walk through the door. That's what we're building here: a place where you don't mind showing up early or staying late. Where your kids gain confidence. Where women feel welcome and supported. Where the sport of jiu-jitsu meets real community."
