STUDENT & CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT JAY, JAY PAGES JIU-JITSU & MMA, AND EVOLVE XTRAINING FITNESS!
I had never taken Jiu Jitsu before this class but was encouraged by a friend to try. Being 37 years old, there are a lot of things that are harder for me to do, and I have never been the most coordinated person in the world. Still, I feel like I am learning an incredible amount and the training allows you to explore what you are good at as opposed to just general, one size fits all training. The only bad thing is that I don’t have as much time as I would like (or physical stamina, yet) to do more. But the training has helped me improve my conditioning and also learn how to defend myself. I would highly recommend this facility (and Jay’s curriculum) to anyone who wants to better themselves in a variety of ways.
David Levine
MMA, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai training I have been training with Jay Pages for about 3 years now and have learned sooooo much from his coaching. He has produced several great fighters and when the jiu jitsu team goes to a tournament medals are always brought home. When asked for a recommendation for a gym to start learning MMA, jiu jitsu, or muay thai without hesitation I always send people to Jay. Even if it’s just to get into shape or learn something new Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu & MMA is the place to be!
Sonja
Jiu-Jitsu/Muay Thai/MMA at it’s best! I’ve known Jay since 2007 and have trained with various BJJ/MMA schools and have to say, no one can offer what Jay can. If you want to have fun and get serious grappling/MMA technique, Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu & MMA is the best there is. You’ll encounter a laid back, friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in the door and will get into the best shape of your life!
Loren Swanson
Jay Pages’s Jiu-Jitsu program is an amazing way to get into the best shape possible while making new friends. Not only does Jay work hard to make his students train hard, he also works hard to build a friendship with each and every one of his students.
Mikey Cunanan
Been training here for just over a year, and I have been to many jiu jitsu schools across the past few years. I’ve had the most enjoyable experience out of all of them here. Jay is a great instructor and the people at the gym are awesome to train with.
Jacob Mimms
Jay Pages is an excellent instructor. He is very passionate about his work. He is willing to spend enough time and effort with his students to teach them new techniques. The gym is very friendly and the hours are great.
Ali Eskandar
I love this gym. I’ve been training here for almost 4 months. I’ve trained with other gyms and Jay is the best. He’s a good instructor and a good friend, you actually feel like he cares about you. One of the things that drew me to the gym is the availability of the instructor and hours. I get to work out before work and he offers good class early in the morning. I recommend and do recommend Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu. (Oh yeah, lost 15 lbs with the first two months of being there)
Steve Valero
The atmosphere at this training facility is amazing. Jay Pages is a great teacher and an excellent motivator, In addition to having Jay as an instructor every one of the students at this gym have a positive attitude and are extremely helpful in helping you to reach your goals. If you’re looking to succeed it is hands down your best choice.
Chris Cruz
I don’t think I have ever met a more friendly and open minded instructor that was clearly and honestly MOTIVATED to get you to your fitness and athletic goals. This man is the only trainer that you will ever need.
S. Stallard
Master Jay is an amazing intructor! I’ve only been training here for about 2 and a half months, but he has already made me feel like part of the family. He is a very deticated teacher, and has an immense passion for the sport. He is very open minded, and sets the mood for a very relaxed atmosphere where the students come to learn martial arts. This is hands down the best gym to go to for wanting to learn anything jiu-jitsu or mma.
Sean Buetner
Master Jay is a fantastic instructor! I have been training here for about 6 months and it has been a huge blessing. Master Jay takes time with all of his students and genuinely cares about the progress of each one. The atmosphere is like being part of a family. He also offers an amazing functional fitness program that has completely changed my fitness level! Great instructor, great facility, great atmosphere.
Juan Trujillo
Jay is an amazing instructor and runs a top notch, clean, ethical & responsible martial arts school. Go there now and start MMA training to compete, lose fat, gain muscle & achieve mental strength & confidence!
Chris Frederick, PT
I truly believe that Jay lies awake at night dreaming up new and crazy ways to push your fitness limits. His workouts are insane, but they get results – and are NEVER boring! Jay has the unique ability make you like him, even while he’s torturing you.
Kristina Holmstrom
Jay is an exceptional coach who you can tell really cares about his students and his teachings. From what I can tell and hear he is one of the best around and I would recommend his training over any other trainers when it comes to personal fitness and BJJ.
Jessica Salvato
Jay is one of the most highly decorated Jiu Jitsu coaches in Arizona. However what sets Jay apart from other coaches I’ve worked with is his ability to adapt and create new concepts and ideas for each individual. So, not matter what your goals are losing weight, learning Jiu Jitsu for the first time or are a seasoned veteran looking to bring your game to the next level no one will get you there with the support and guidance that Jay can.
Steve McAllum
I have been in the Jiu-Jitsu and MMA game since 2007 and out of all the instructors I’ve had in the past 4 years, Master Jay has helped my MMA & Jiu-Jitsu skills the most and I felt confident going into fights just knowing he is in my corner! He put me through some of the best training ever gone through to where I knew going into the fight I would not worry about gassing out! The way he also teaches is great. By making sure we drill moves until we get it down with plenty of patience & motivation from him. I have to say, he is my greatest instructor I’ve ever had! I could not see myself training at any another gym! Thank you very Much Master Jay!
Gabe Rosa
Jay Pages is the perfect example of a Trainer/Teacher. I have been training my whole life in one fashion or another. When Jay first worked me out, it felt like I had never worked out before. I would strongly recommend Jay to anyone looking to improve their Jiu-Jitsu or just their well being!
JR Bautista
Jay is by far the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. His knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu, strength training, calisthenics, and overall nutrition makes the training intense and effective, but his personality and combination of workouts makes it fun!
Whether you are working your way up to a black belt, or working your way down to a smaller physique, if you train with Jay Pages, you will get there.
Tara Hetzer
Jay Pages is what I would call a model instructor. He loves teaching and is very skilled at it. He knows how to build a student’s confidence in martial arts and life. I would highly recommend him!
Tom Proctor
Jay is an experienced athlete who truly enjoys helping his clients achieve their personal fitness goals. He is very creative with his training programs and always focused on motivating clients to excel.
Jay has also proven to be a successful business owner and takes pride in his work!
Nancy Quinn
Jay is the best BJJ instructor I’ve ever had. I’ve trained with a few others in the valley and none of them have had the kind of attention to detail that Jay has. He is very approachable and easy to work with whether you’re one of his most experienced students or in your very first class, none of the ego or macho crap that tends to plague MMA/BJJ schools. Bottom-line: If you train consistently with Jay, your Jits game will improve dramatically!
Mike Rosenfield
I’ve known and trained with Jay for a number of years. He is a very credible BJJ and MMA instructor in my opinion. I would recommend anyone looking to train to seek him out as an instructor.
Scott Tannenbaum
Jay is an excellent martial arts instructor. I enrolled my daughter on his children’s jui jitsu program and was very impressed with how well the program was run. He is great with kids and teaches with a philosophy of respect and hard work. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.
Kevin Poleyumptewa
I have been a client of Jay’s since 2008. Jay is responsible, reliable, personable and an awesome trainer. He has great, inventive ideas that you wouldn’t see at most gyms. He was always dedicated to my success and I felt like he was truly there to help me reach my goals. I would recommend Jay to anyone looking to get back in shape or to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Tesha Nas
I have been to other gyms and looked around to find a gym that suits everything that my body and soul needed. By chance my brother turned me to Master Jay Pages. Immediately I was welcomed by a great and amazing personality and someone that actually listened to what my goal were and needs were. He was very interested to know about me than to spat off what he was all about. I have known Jay pages for 4 years now and in the first year, actually in the first month I have never felt like just a student but more like family… He is always open to questions and always looking to better all of his students (aka family) as they make amazing steps towards perfection with his guidance. If you are looking to be pushed to your limits and looking to break through those limits go to PCA (Phoenix Combat Academy). You will not get the cold shoulder like some of those other gyms with big name people there. You will however get the warm welcome and sense of brotherhood once you step on the mat or step into the ring. You will also get the opportunity to train with champions and humble champions at that, at PCA we are more than just fighters, competitors, or grapplers, we are family and there is no greater bond than that. So come in and enjoy a class, no matter what caliber athlete you are and find out what it’s like to reach the limits only your heart can set! Thank you Master Jay and Sunshine for all that you do and will continue to do.
Chris Echerivel
When I was looking for a martial arts school to get back in shape, I contacted all the jiu jitsu schools in the area. Jay Pages from PCA was prompt in returning my call and answered all my questions. I got the first few classes for free, just to make sure this is what I wanted to do. He worked with me both in class and through private lessons. 6 months later and 30# lost, I am in the body that I want to have.
Jay Pages, and Jay Pages Jiu Jitsu provides results unlike any other Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ) school. His knowledge and expertise are unsurpassed in the art of BJJ. I would highly recommend Jay Pages to teach you the art of BJJ.
Glenn Piller
Training under Jay Pages has helped me achieve many goals I had set for myself in a very short time. These goals were lofty to say the least, but with his help I not only lost weight and gained strength, but I was able to improve my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu game so much that I’ve won a gold, silver, and bronze medal in my second and third tournaments ever! Jay can turn your lump of coal into a diamond! Thanks Jay!
Robert Martin
Jay has been my big brother, my best friend, my mentor, and now Jiu Jitsu coach. His understanding of the game is like none other i have experienced. I have watched him progress through the years and experienced firsthand, the changing in his game. Being his brother and student, I am proud to say that my understanding of Jiu Jitsu is because of Jay Pages. I hope one day to receive my black belt from this great man.
PJay Pages
No work out I could ever come up with in my life has ever been as hard as the ones that Jay puts the class and I through on a daily basis. I am in the best shape of my life and I owe it all the Master Jay!
Ty Mealey
Before training with Jay I never felt comfortable with my body. I had always been a little over weight, and never had the drive to better myself. Jay Pages changed that with his challenging and ever-evolving workouts. I cannot count the number of times I have wanted to give up on a work out, and Jay has been there to give me that extra push I needed to finish. After about three months of training with Jay, a girl came up to me at a pool party and complimented my physique. At that moment I knew Master Jay’s exercise routines have been working. I have been training for about a year now and I feel as if I am in the best shape of my life.
I would like to thank Jay Pages for the hundreds of hours he has spent transforming me into a better person, both physically and mentally.
Mathew Bond
The BJJ classes are up to the minute instruction; Jay is a teacher who is very open and passionate about his art.
The conditioning… I ALWAYS walk away with a feeling of accomplishment. whether it’s “Death by Burpee” or my personal favorite “Pecos park” the workout has pushed me and helped me in other areas.
Roman Baca
I’ve always considered myself an athletic and “in shape” guy. Jay has helped to take my strength and conditioning to a completely higher level. Even after being involved with athletics my entire life, I feel that I am now in the best shape of my life thanks to Jay Pages and Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu.
Jay’s ability to instruct is top-notch. His passion for BJJ and fitness are evident in the innovative classes he teaches, and have rubbed off onto his students. It makes us want to be the best at what we do.
I have gained a greater confidence in not only my athletic abilities, but also in my life because of the work ethic and drive that is instilled in you by Master Jay.
Best of all, Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu is as much about community and brotherhood as it is about athleticism.
John Trinh
I have been training with Master Jay for quite some time in BJJ and conditioning. Master Jay is definitely innovative with both and is always open to learn things from students. I always appreciate the focus and understanding he brings to the mats. I don’t think I could see myself training with anyone else.
Jamie Echerivel
My name is Antonio Towner from Ahwatukee via IOWA!! And I’ve been training with Jay for six months. I’ve always been strong from weightlifting but i have never actually felt “in shape”. Ever since day one I’ve felt myself get quicker, stronger, and feel I’m in the best shape ever. Since I’ve started I’ve lost twenty pounds and people from work and the gym have noticed. I’ve done traditional martial arts and it can’t compare. Master Jay is a great instructor and always there to help you out with any question you might have. I look forward to training everyday and would like to thank Master Jay for giving me the Jiu Jitsu bug. Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu is a great place to train where we all motivate each other to higher levels of fitness and technical ability.
Antonio Towner
I started training with jay six months ago and i see the same passion for jits, and the same heart. (Not to mention another smaller guy that can control me….Dam it. lol.) He’s someone i can improve my game a great deal with, and someone I can call a friend not just an instructor.
Bruce Guile
This is Tsui-jen from Chandler, AZ. I started training with master jay just doing regular conditioning and messing around with BJJ. As months passed and as the infatuation with training grew it just keeps getting better and better. Noticing muscles that haven’t existed i don’t think ever, and mental strength that has never been there before. And the best part is that despite the fact that i am female, the training is just as rigorous and evil for me as it is for the rest of the men. Leaving the lab with bruises the size of melons and owies on and average basis and loving it. Now with a new found thirst for mental, physical power and strangely enough thirst for pain, and a team of guys and girls who are supportive, i hope to grow and develop as a female fighter competitively and i know for an absolute fact that i can attain that at Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu.
Tsui-Jen Cunanan
Thanks to Jay I’m in great shape, becoming a better jiu jitsu competitor each time I go, and I am glad that I have been able to find a young energetic teacher along with an energetic group of students who love to learn and teach each other. I am proud to be part of the summa family and under the supervision of Jay and the people who compete with me. Thanks for everything Jay.
Chris Valenti
I’ve been in the MMA game for over 8 years now and Jay is by far on of the best trainers I’ve had. For all my future fights/tournaments he will always be the main guy to take care of all my preparation and will always be in my corner. Thank you Jay for everything you have done. I’m in the works to set-up my next fight, I’m tired of sitting in the injured sidelines. I need to be back in the ring.
Thank you Master Jay Pages
Bill “Silver Back” Parker
I started training when jay was still a student and we were training partners together. I’ve seen some of the long path’s he has had to walk to become a black belt and an overall successful trainer. Jay has always been there to push me past my mental and physical limits. I have never met anyone who is more passionate about BJJ and teaching people what he loves to do. I am proud to say he is my trainer, mentor, and friend.
David “the Canadian Night Crawler” Shaw
I was one of Jay’s first students at LA Boxing. I never in a million years thought that I could do jiu jitsu but Jay proved me wrong. He was the driving force that made me get to the gym every day. He has the ability to make you push yourself to the limit and just when you think you have reached that limit he pushes you even further. I was 250 pounds when I first started training with Jay and with him as my trainer I now walk around at 190. I think what makes Jay so good at what he does is he actually just loves doing it. He loves training, competing and teaching. When you step on his mat not only are you his student but you are now his family.
Take any opportunity you have to train with Jay, you won’t regret it (well actually you might because you will be sore). Jay Pages thank you for everything that you have done for me and the students you teach every day.
Your friend and student,
Chris “the sidewinder” Morgan

Noticing muscles that haven’t existed i don’t think ever, and mental strength that has never been there before. And the best part is that despite the fact that i am female, the training is just as rigorous and evil for me as it is for the rest of the men. Leaving the lab with bruises the size of melons and owies on and average basis and loving it. Now with a new found thirst for mental, physical power and strangely enough thirst for pain, and a team of guys and girls who are supportive, i hope to grow and develop as a female fighter competitively and i know for an absolute fact that i can attain that at Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu.

Thanks to Jay I’m in great shape, becoming a better jiu jitsu competitor each time I go, and I am glad that I have been able to find a young energetic teacher along with an energetic group of students who love to learn and teach each other. I am proud to be part of the summa family and under the supervision of Jay and the people who compete with me. Thanks for everything Jay.

I’ve been in the MMA game for over 8 years now and Jay is by far on of the best trainers I’ve had. For all my future fights/tournaments he will always be the main guy to take care of all my preparation and will always be in my corner. Thank you Jay for everything you have done. I’m in the works to set-up my next fight, I’m tired of sitting in the injured sidelines. I need to be back in the ring.
Thank you Master Jay Pages

I started training when jay was still a student and we were training partners together. I’ve seen some of the long path’s he has had to walk to become a black belt and an overall successful trainer. Jay has always been there to push me past my mental and physical limits. I have never met anyone who is more passionate about BJJ and teaching people what he loves to do. I am proud to say he is my trainer, mentor, and friend.

I was one of Jay’s first students at LA Boxing. I never in a million years thought that I could do jiu jitsu but Jay proved me wrong. He was the driving force that made me get to the gym every day. He has the ability to make you push yourself to the limit and just when you think you have reached that limit he pushes you even further. I was 250 pounds when I first started training with Jay and with him as my trainer I now walk around at 190. I think what makes Jay so good at what he does is he actually just loves doing it. He loves training, competing and teaching. When you step on his mat not only are you his student but you are now his family.
Take any opportunity you have to train with Jay, you won’t regret it (well actually you might because you will be sore). Jay Pages thank you for everything that you have done for me and the students you teach every day.
Your friend and student,
Chris “the sidewinder” Morgan
