SUBJECT: 2KuckleSports MMA & Fitness Conditional Use Permit (CUP25-07)  
 
 
Dear Neighbor: 
 
This letter is to inform you that I am applying for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application with the City of 
Glendale. The property is located at 9250 N 43rd Ave STE 10-13, Glendale, AZ 85302 in the Cactus District. 
I am proposing to operate 2 Knuckle Sports MMA and Fitness, a comprehensive martial arts and fitness facility. The 
facility will offer programs in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, Judo, and Kickboxing for 
children, teens, adults, and families. The facility includes approximately 4,889 square feet of training space within 
suites 10-13 of the existing commercial building located on a 2.2 acre lot. 
 
 The property is currently zoned C-2 (General Commercial) and no zoning change is proposed - the Conditional 
Use Permit will allow the martial arts and fitness facility use within the existing zoning. Adjacent properties include 
commercial businesses and the surrounding area consists of mixed commercial and residential land uses. 
 
The facility will operate Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM (open 
mat sessions), and will be closed on Sundays. Our programs emphasize discipline, character development, and 
community service, with a special focus on youth mentorship and at-risk youth outreach programs. The facility 
maintains professional safety protocols, appropriate insurance coverage, and qualified instructors to ensure a 
positive community impact. Comments must be received by [August 23, 2025]. 
 
I have included a site plan with this letter for your review. You may write, email, or call using this contact 
information below or by contacting Alex Lerma for the City of Glendale at (602) 930-2810.
