Daimyo Brazilian Jiujitsu MMA

WOMEN’S JIU-JITSU AT DAIMYO

There is something special about watching women discover what they are capable of.

Confidence. Strength. Discipline. Friendship. The courage to become uncomfortable and realize you can do hard things.

That is the environment we want to continue building at Daimyo.

Our Women’s BJJ program is led by Owner and Head Coach Brenda Soto, a 3x IBJJF Pan American Champion in both her division and the absolute, with years of experience coaching and mentoring female athletes—from women stepping onto the mats for the very first time to athletes competing and winning at some of the biggest tournaments in the sport.

But credentials are only part of what makes a great coach.

Brenda understands what it means to be a woman walking into a jiu-jitsu academy. She understands the challenges, the doubts, the competition, and the importance of having someone in your corner who genuinely wants to see you succeed.

At Daimyo, you don’t have to already be tough.
You don’t have to be in shape.
You don’t have to want to compete.

You just have to be willing to begin.

And if competition is something you want, you’ll be surrounded by women and coaches with real experience preparing athletes, traveling to major competitions, standing in their corner, and helping them pursue meaningful goals.

This isn’t simply another class on our schedule.

We’re building a place where women can train seriously, be coached intentionally, support one another, and grow together.

Real coaching. Real mentorship. Real competition experience. Real community.

Come experience what we’re building.

Women Only BJJ
Monday — 6 PM
Wednesday — 6 PM
Saturday — 9 AM

Whether your goal is confidence, fitness, self-defense, competition, or simply becoming a stronger version of yourself—there is a place for you on our mats.

Hello Daimyo Fam,

As many of you know, we just opened our new Anytime Fitness facility on La Canada/Lambert in Oro Valley. Tomorrow, Saturday, Aug 22nd, we will be hosting our Grand Opening Celebration from 12:30-3:30. I want to formally invite all of you to stop by for some food, prizes, and to check out the gym. Come for a few minutes or stay the whole time.

At 1pm, Paragon AZ Black Belt, Fidel Vega, will be running a group recovery session which should come in handy for you open mat warriors. Free for anyone to join.

Of course, if you love the space, and want to make it your home for fitness, Daimyo members get a significant discounted rate, so let me know if you want more information on memberships. Hope to see you all on the mats tomorrow and would be honored if you would stop by for our Grand Opening afterwards!

We could not be prouder of our Youth Level 2 athletes!

Their success is not only measured by the medals they bring home. It is measured by their commitment to growth, their courage to face difficult challenges and their willingness to keep learning—even when training becomes uncomfortable.

Youth Level 2 is for young athletes who want more opportunities to challenge themselves, develop advanced skills and prepare for competition. These students continue to show us what can happen when hard work, strong coaching and a supportive team come together.

If you are looking for a program that will help your child develop confidence, discipline, resilience and real martial arts skills, we invite you to come experience Daimyo.

Our youth programs include:

🥋 Tiny Warriors — Ages 4–6
A fun introduction to movement, discipline, confidence and jiu-jitsu.

🥋 Youth Level 1 — Ages 7–13
Designed for children who are new to the sport and ready to build a strong foundation.

🔥 Youth Level 2 — Ages 7–13
For students with the desire to compete, face bigger challenges and pursue greater opportunities.

🥊 Youth Kickboxing
An exciting program that helps children develop striking skills, coordination, confidence, discipline and conditioning.

Every child begins somewhere. Let us help your child discover what they are capable of.

Message us to schedule a trial class and find the right program for your child.

Daimyo showed up at LWS! 🔥

Our athletes finished the night with a 5-2 record—and every one of our victories came by submission.

Five wins.
Five submissions.
Two Submission of the Night bonuses.

We are incredibly proud of all seven athletes who stepped onto the stage and represented our academy. Winning matters, but having the courage to compete, trust your training and test yourself matters even more.

This is what we build at Daimyo: confident athletes, skilled competitors and teammates who grow together.

Come train with a team built to grow.
