Sharkside Jiu-Jitsu is the Brazilian jiu-jitsu program housed inside Faction Combat in Mesa, Arizona. It is led by black belt Brenden Richardson, who blends a USA Wrestling background with GD Jiu-Jitsu and has competed since 1999, including a podium finish at the IBJJF Worlds as a purple belt. The lineage runs from Carlson Gracie through André Pederneiras and Gustavo Dantas. The academy teaches gi and no-gi classes with a self-defense focus, offers competition training, holds a weekend open mat, and runs a kids' program called Mini-Makos. Loaner gis are available for newcomers, and the room has a welcoming, family feel.
