thony Birchak. Not only is
Fight Ready a hot bed for
UFC fighters, it is a desti-
nation for many families as

Jim Wade, General Man-
ager of Fight Ready stat-
ed, ‘I have been told that
you can sense the family
dynamic when you walk
into our facility and that
is extremely important to
us. We are not just a gym
that caters to profession-
al fighters, anyone that
has an interest in training
mixed martial arts is wel-
come. All ages, all levels.
We don’t discriminate. ‘
Fight Ready offers world
class instruction to mem-
bers of all ages and skill
levels in a variety of group
programs, including Box-
ing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu,
Mixed Martial Arts, Kick-
boxing, Wrestling, and
Fitness Classes. There is
literally something for ev-
eryone. Most importantly
the gym’s membership
structure allows students
to participate in ALL of the
programs offered.
Fight Ready also offers
one of the most compre-
hensive mixed martial arts
programs for youth in Ari-
zona, taught by world-re-
nowned instructors who
are accomplished athletes
in their own right. Youth
classes are offered in Wres-
tling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and
Muay Thai.
Wade went on to say, ‘Al-
though many elite athletes
train at our facility, a ma-
jority of our members con-
sist of everyday people,
even entire families’, Wade
stated. ‘Parents take adult
classes while their kids
participate in our youth
classes. Parents of teen-
agers over the age of 15
often take class together.
Our diverse class schedule
makes it easy for families
to train together.’
