Easy to Reach from Across the Phoenix Valley
Strong Heart Academy is located at 3150 E Union Hills Dr #115 in North Phoenix — right off the Loop 101 and State Route 51 interchange, with easy freeway access from virtually anywhere in the valley.
If you're coming from Deer Valley, Norterra, or Happy Valley, you're already our neighbors — under 10 minutes away. Students from Paradise Valley, North Scottsdale, and Desert Ridge typically arrive in 15–20 minutes. From Central Phoenix, Camelback East, or North Mountain, plan on about 20 minutes via the 51. Those making the drive from Scottsdale, Tempe, or Downtown Phoenix find it's a straight shot north on the 51 — around 20–25 minutes. Even students from Glendale, Peoria, and the west valley make the trip regularly, usually 25–35 minutes via the 101.
No matter where you're coming from in the Phoenix metro, we're on the way home from Scottsdale, a quick commute from work in North Phoenix, or a dedicated drive worth making for the quality of instruction.

My son enjoys being at Strong Hearts. He is a beginner and a teen and they offer classes that pertain to him. He really likes the fundamental and teen classes they offer. Everyone there from teachers to other BJJ students are welcoming and supportive in gaining skills and improving the art and sport of BJJ. When you are there you feel like one big family. I highly recommend Strong Hearts.
This place is Awesome!! Mike (Owner) has gone above and beyond! Strong heart really instills not only Jiu-Jitsu lessons but also life lessons outside of the academy for kids and adults, if you are considering putting your kiddo in this class or even taking courses yourself, do it you will not regret it!!
I love this place!! I don’t live near here, but whenever I am in town I love stopping by for open mat. The door says a Happy Place, it really is. Everyone is always very welcoming and friendly. Good rolls and helpful people. Academy is always very clean and Michael Martin is top notch!!
Love this program! Age 7-12 and Teen classes are packed with instruction and awesome instructors that are obviously experienced working with children. Facility is clean, kids all take direction. I see my son learning so much, we're very excited to be getting started!!!
I started coming here roughly 1 month ago. The environment is great and both the coaches and your fellow students want you to grow and be successful. This is one of the few gyms where the vibes are always good and egos are left at the door. If you have never tried and are interested, or looking for a new gym this is a great spot.
“I highly recommend Strong Heart Academy. I was traveling for work and looking for a place to train while on the road. I was very impressed with the quality instruction, the welcoming students and the well maintained facility. I’ll definitely be back any time I am traveling to Phoenix. Thanks Mike, I really appreciated the chance to train at Strong Heart!”
“I was recommended to Strong Heart by a friend that is deep into the Local MMA community. I wanted a good workout and to learn a new discipline. Mike, his other instructors, and the other students were immediately helpful and welcoming. Having no experience with BJJ or wrestling, they helped me learn and get up to speed so I could immediately start having fun with training.”
“First off I want to say Mike is very helpful and encouraging. My daughter started last week and she is really enjoying the classes and all new techniques he is teaching her. She was very timid at first but Mike and the instructors made it very comfortable for her to be herself. As a parent there is no price tag for that. This place is very clean and family owned. I would definitely recommend this academy for anyone who wants to learn jiu jitsu.”
“Loved it. I was in for business. Clean facility. Great technique taught. Amazing rolls and atmosphere. If you are in town...CHECK IT OUT!”
