“Tim Welch in my opinion is the best coach in the game. He is extremely well-rounded so he truly knows what works and what doesn’t in high-level MMA and Jiu-Jitsu. When it comes to learning, he really helps you break down and understand the technique.”

“Tim is one of the Great Minds in the Sport. I’ve been friends with Tim for a meaningful period of time. I was training partners with Tim. Tim These guys, they used to jump in a car and they would just drive around the country. They drive, they’d come to this gym and spend a week and they come up here and they spend a week and he had an incredible mind.”

“Our 16 year old daughter was at Red Hawk Academy a few weeks in June 2025. Another Residential facility in Arizona was closed by the State and the parents were only given 36 hours to have their daughters out of that facility. The Red Hawk staff were willing to take our daughter on short notice and they were very supportive of us as parents and they really went out of their way to help us. We are so grateful for their assistance. We need residential facilities like Red Hawk to help keep girls safe and help them overcome habits and behaviors that put them at great risk. We took our daughter home a few weeks after her admission, but we are again so grateful for them and I recommend them without hesitation.”

“Love this place. I’d gotten so severely out of shape. I started rolling here about a month ago. The entire staff is friendly and there’s never any judgement from them on where you’re at skill wise. Garrett has been especially great at the 9am classes. Whether you’re trying to get into jiu jitsu to compete or if you’re like me and just trying to get in shape, this place will make you feel at home!”
