About
Scottsdale Jiu-Jitsu with Master Maui Saito
Scottsdale Jiu-Jitsu sits on North 92nd Street in north Scottsdale, led by Master Maui Saito who personally teaches every kids class. The school structures programs around three tightly age-separated tiers, with curriculum spanning both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and traditional Japanese Jujitsu survival techniques. The "more than a school, we are a family" framing reflects the intimate small-school atmosphere.

Experience
Master Saito's individual attention to each student's personality and developmental needs is unusual - most kids martial arts schools rotate through assistant instructors. The dual-curriculum approach (Brazilian + Japanese Jujitsu) gives kids exposure to both modern competition technique and traditional survival applications. Pattern fits north-Scottsdale families that want personalized, small-school BJJ instruction under a named master.
