The teaching ability of Grand Master Maui Saito is unsurpassed, and his extensive knowledge and skills go beyond the realm and limits of Jujitsu as it is often taught. He was immersed in a life time of martial arts education through his family line whose techniques were extensively long held in secrecy within the family lineage until the recent time. The mark of true success, however, is whether a teacher can impart the same skills and ability to his students. Many teachers, instructors, trainers have excelled competitively, but fail to become great teachers who can impart the same level of skill and success to their students, so those students can rise as far or even farther. This important fact is crucial in determining the right place to train. Is the success of the student the most important goal to your instructor, teacher, trainer? Is that success meant for your own long term personal goals?

“As a fellow black belt who trained under Professor Mike Darcy, I can positively affirm that Professor Mike is an outstanding jiu-jitsu instructor. His passion for the art and keen eye for detail are second to none. He helped elevate my game and the skill level of the entire class through high repetition drilling, situational training, live rounds, and taking the time for review/discussion to make sure everyone was progressing and not developing bad habits.

If you are thinking about trying jiu-jitsu or are looking for a talented coach in the Scottsdale or Fountain Hills area for you or your family, be sure to check out Professor Mike at One Ten. Veteran/Minority owned…but most importantly, he will make you better.”

“Mike Darcy really is an amazing jiu jitsu instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable and truly excels at breaking down technique in a way that is super easy to understand for students. Mike also doesn’t just teach adults, but children as well, which is a totally separate skill set that he has mastered over the years. Mike has an extremely well respected pedigree in BJJ, earning his black belt from a literal legend of the sport in Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro. If you’re in Scottsdale, you need to check out One Ten!”

“Mike Darcy was my instructor at Shaolins school in NJ. Mike helped me grow my jiu jitsu game and taught me the fundamentals. I always appreciated his passion for the martial art itself and how clearly he would communicate the concepts and techniques which were being taught. If you want world class BJJ instruction look no further then here.”

“Michael is an outstanding person and coach. He is a caring and thoughtful instructor and I highly recommend his school. I know him for almost 10 years.. Anytime I am in town I will surely be visiting and training with him and his team.”

“I had the opportunity to learn jiu jitsu from Michael Darcy when he taught in New Jersey. He is an awesome instructor and an even better person. He also led one of the top kids programs in the state. I would highly recommend this school to anyone!”

“Professor Darcy is an amazing instructor. He has a gift for being able to reach students of all levels, and each class is organized and flows well. BJJ is good for you, and there is no better place to learn it than at 110.”

My son started here trying to find something very competitive. We found it! In which, it got me on the mat and competing. Life long goals with a committed instructor who knows his art. Thank you.

Side note. I started at 240 lbs. I am now 221 lbs. Thank you.

I feel so lucky to have found this place for my 4.5 year old son. Kiko and his team are amazing! My son looks so forward to attending each week, it's already taught my son patience, to follow directions and increased his self confidence. It has also helped with improving his concentration and of course... it's an amazing way to release his energy as well as improving his physical strength. Thank you, Kiko and Maria!

I've been training with Kiko for about 5 months now. I've been to a few other bjj gyms in the valley but this was the perfect place for me. Kiko does an excellent job of getting to know each of his students and help them develop their game while having a great time. This is a great gym for beginners as well as experienced bjj players alike. Kiko's gym fosters a great community and top notch training.

Kiko is fantastic. I love training at his academy. You will too. Get after it.

I recently started training under Kiko, but have known him for a couple of years. He’s great as a person and as a coach. He cares about his students and you can tell he loves teaching. It is a great gym and I’m excited to see how big it grows!

What an amazing facility and professor of Jui Jitsu, by far the best place for beginning to train and for experience students . We've been taking our kids now for 8 months and we truly love the way Kiko and his family have committed to help every single person reach there full potential , Highly recommended!!!!!!
