Seattle Jiu-Jitsu Academy: what do users think?

Jesse Barracoso: . I was very wrong. I got absolutely whupped on. My mediocrity was revealed by SJJA's then small number of members and the 12-15 nightly sparring rounds. I stayed and have been a member for a few years now and am grateful to know that there will never be a shortage of challenging training partners at SJJA.Non-traditional, no bowing, no warm-ups, no masters, lots of metal.

Mikayla Carias: ~1.5 years ago.The class schedule provides room for lots of mat time. Saturday open mat is free to anyone. The training partners are great people and consist of many upper belts. Finally, the SJJA community is supportive, welcoming, hard working, and knowledgeable.If you’re new, looking to continue, for the hobbyist training, or interested in competitions - SJJA is that atmosphere!PS. You might get some sick action shots cause some of our members are very good 📸

Yonas Meshesha: Best gym in the Seattle area by far. Gym is very large and can host a lot of people rolling, clean and hygienic, and awesome culture. The best thing about SJJA is the way Dave runs class, in which you have time to develop your own style/game through consistent live rounds. Highly recommend joining!

Gabriel Moss: I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this gym; not only as someone who is new to martial arts but also as someone who historically is a bit of a back-of-the-classroom introvert. Dave has done a fantastic job of not only creating a top environment for learning BJJ but also creating a corresponding community around that same environment. Can’t recommend enough 5/5

Jonathan Kling: than some places get in a whole week!

Tim Tetrault: This is a great BJJ academy with an experienced professor and is filled with people dedicated to developing their game, fitness, and being solid training partners.

Dylan Kohl: This has been my first experience with bjj, everyone has been very kind and willing to help. It has been a great experience for me as a beginner.

本田雅一(ジャーナリスト): I had a wonderful experience at this gym when I traveled to Seattle from Tokyo. Friendly, not awe inspiring, and everyone enjoys the soft rolls.If you are a jiu-jitsu practitioner and visiting Seattle, I would definitely recommend stopping by. And if you live near Seattle, you are very lucky. I encourage you to knock on this gym's door.My friend who lives in Tokyo told me that there is no better place to travel to Seattle to practice. But that story is not correct. Because there is SJJA.I will be 57 years old this year. I am a Master 6 blue belt, and SJJA has welcomed me warmly.

J Westberg: Dropped in to the noon class when I was visiting seattle for a work conference. One of the “tells” I’ve figured out over my many years of training, of how good a school is, is how hard the students grip fight. These guys all grip fought like demons! I knew within five minutes I would be in a battle from white up to black. The training was wonderful and just what I needed after stumbling off a long cross country flight. The facility is clean and has a great layout. Dave was a great host and his students were all warm, friendly, and trained hard; within a few minutes of chatting with everyone I felt like I was at home. Highly recommend dropping in if you are an out-of-towner. Thanks, Dave and crew for being generous hosts. Hope to see you all again.

Ben A: Traveling to the Seattle area and was able to attend a Tuesday morning No-Gi class.The instructor was easy to understand and gave a wonderful step by step approach to the training.Everyone was super friendly and welcoming.

Rob: I was in town for a conference and stopped by Seattle Jiujitsu Academy to get some rounds in during their 6 p.m. class. The head instructor, Dave, has built up a crazy group of conditioned athletes!The instruction was great and there is a solid hour of rolling after the teaching is done. At least 12 five-minute rounds with 20 seconds between rounds. Everyone that I rolled with was very respectful and talented. I advise anyone dropping by make sure you practice defending collar sleeve!Looking forward to stopping by again the next time I am up in Seattle!

Andre Dayani: Top notch BJJ gym. I love this place. Professor Dave Stegman is a devoted lifelong student of martial arts and it shows in his teaching. He shares many wisdoms about training effectively and at the highest competitive levels. There are many patient upper belts that will take time with you as you’re developing your game as a white belt. The gym has a culture of safe practicing, and from what I’ve seen, egos are left at the door. If you want to learn to roll in a beautiful and clean space, come to SJJA, no doubt. You’ll get the most out of any practice when you commit, so if you do come train, come with your whole heart and stick with it!

Ken Lee: Coach Mt and training staff were very welcoming despite being my first time training outside of my hometown. Instructions were clear and rolls were very challenging. Would def be back

Zoo Hi: Very nice community!Definitely recommend this gym for anyone who wants to do cross training or visit from out state if you love rolling!

Martin Gonzalez: Awesome teaching, structure and vibes. I was from out of town looking to keep training. Professor Dave was very accommodating and welcoming. Definitely would recommend to out of towers and locals.

Jeremy Salazar: If you’re looking to challenge yourself mentally and physically this is the place to go. I’m visiting from out of town and everyone treated me great. The rolls were hard, but this team will make sure they take care of you and not hurt you. Amazing atmosphere! Thank you so much for having me!

Kirsten: Visiting Seattle from out of state and wanted to keep training. Highly recommend SJJA for training, fantastic instruction, and experience. Attended the early morning No-Gi class. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, instruction was fantastic, and we went through several different techniques. Thank you for having me! Will definitely be back.

Jimmy Crackers: Top notch Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from an instructor who cares. It's great moving up in belts, but only if you know what you're doing. If you move up a belt level here, you can be assured you know what you're doing against another person who knows BJJ. Not all places can say that.

Marcus S: Super nice school.. bunch of friendly killers.Came for the open mat and got 15 rounds in, everyone was very friendly and welcoming.Thanks again to the head instructor Dave !

Ivan Salaverry MMA: what do users think?

Shoki Ito: Best MMA gym in Seattle. Full of actual trained MMA, kickboxing fighters , and grapplers. Very welcoming community and funny, and the coaches train people to win. It’s a real fight gym, and the fighters reflect that.

Daniel Nieuwerf: Great gym. Will visit again next time I'm in Seattle.

Ryan Ishmael: I have been training martial arts for 10+ years and have visited many gyms in the US. Ivan Salaverrys mma is hands down one of the best I’ve ever visited, great technique and instruction along with welcoming and understanding energy. It keeps the hard nose intensity of a fight gym with the new age training techniques that make it possible for anyone to join and jump right in to classes. Ivan is one of the warmest welcomes I’ve ever had into a gym and I have seen no special treatment in this regard he is truly great to everyone.

Roger Kremer: The best of the best👊I drive 35 minutes each way from Monroe, Wa to train here!

Andrew Doyon: I trained at Ivan's for 5 years while living in Seattle. This is easily the best gym to train at in the area! The coaches and training partners are fantastic and will help you reach your goals whether you're there for fitness, competing, or as a fun hobby. Thanks for all the fun memories!

Pineapple Porcupine: hospitality was great, great coaches great wrestling

Kyoko Horiguchi: great experience there. clean, friendly, knowledgeable, communicative, fun!

Mr. Wheeler: Best MMA gym in Seattle! Amazing coaches and legit classes for all levels.

Casey Barrett: Was hit by a car infront of their gymIt seemed like everyone in the gym poured out to help in any way they could.Seriously compassionate people who went above, and beyond to be amazing members of their community.Thanks for all of yalls help making sure I was alright.

Combat Arts Academy of Seattle: what do users think?

Crystal Uka: Jeton: I like it! It keeps me from playing games and getting me outside! I like working out and feeling me get stronger!Dad: i like it, hes doing good and gives him a break from video games. I like how the Coach is and see some cool moves.Mom: i think its awesome! Such a great experience and he likes it so much that we got grandpa investing in him monthly to keep going!!Thanks for being just around the corner, his confidence has grown and discipline! I thank you!!Uka Family!

P: I cannot say enough good things about Combat Arts Academy. The coaches are all truly amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. As someone who is extremely shy, I was hesitant to start training in Muy Thai, but this place has made me feel comfortable and welcomed from day one. I am so excited to be on this journey and who knows, maybe one day I'll have a fight in the ring. Thank you Combat Arts Academy for creating such a positive and empowering environment.

Kevin Gallagher: Amazing experience visiting Combat Arts Academy while visiting Seattle. Strong gym culture here.

Connor L: The folks at CAA are very friendly and welcoming while keeping a healthy level of intensity. Training here has been one of the best decisions I've made in recent years. Whether you're interested in BJJ or Muay Thai, you'll get an awesome workout, learn valuable skills, and meet some really cool people!

Molly Reis: This is a really special place. A clean, spacious facility run by knowledgeable, supportive, friendly coaches who really care about their students. I’d recommend it to anyone interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and/or Muay Thai!

Isaac Wastman: Equal parts competitive, safe, and inclusive, CAA is hands down the premier combat sports gym for people of all ages and sizes. Highly recommended for any level.

Kendrick Washington: I’ve been training in martial arts over two decades and CAA had to be the most memorable and meaningful experience. I started in their strength and conditioning program and a fellow lifter convinced me to give jujitsu a try. Coach Sonia has truly built something beautiful. We train hard and we take care of each other equally hard. My daughter and partner train here too. I can’t think of a better place to train as a family.

Adam Shumays: Very friendly, very knowledgeable crew here. Highly Recommend.

deb jack (DJ): Love working out in this space!!! Everyone is so supportive. My trainer is the BEST!!!

Asma Noray: I love this gym! Very supportive environment and knowledgeable coaches that are really invested in your growth.

Chelsea Herting: I am so happy to have found this gym!! I am terrible at pushing myself to go to a regular gym, but combining a good workout with a purpose like learning a new sport has helped me so much. The staff is so friendly and the overall environment is very inclusive. Its also a very relaxed and judgment free zone where I feel like I can learn and make mistakes and no one is watching me or making fun. I am already feeling stronger and I was surprised at how much it has improved my mental health as well. Thank you CAA!!!

Olivia Authorlee: Super nice space super nice environment super nice people

Kira Kearsley: The best BJJ and Muay Thai gym in West Seattle.An amazing and warm atomsphere. Everyone is treated as family.The people are amazing and the coaches are the best I have ever had.I absolutely recommend this gym.

maddy jones: I cannot say enough positives about this gym - I started just wanting to learn the basics of self defense so I joined the Muay Thai program. Sonia, the owner, was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and encouraging. the class was a great size and I absolutely love the bag classes. The other coaches, Jaime and Joe, are very helpful and take their time if you need a little extra instruction or tips after class. I have since switched to BJJ and absolutely love it. Being up close in someone's space is incredibly uncomfortable for most people and yet with the people here it is somehow fun, challenging, and the best part of my day!

Heather Rowlett: Honestly, I have zero complaints about this incredible woman-owned gym. At 36, I finally decided it was time to try to learn a few tools to find the ground in moments when overwhelmed by powerlessness, after trying out a few gyms in the area I landed at CAA. Sonia has gone above and beyond building a safe community for just that, hiring thoughtful, gentle and patient staff with an unparalleled understanding of consent culture. **trauma-informed staff alert** Jaime and Joseph lead the introductory Muy Thai series and both create an atmosphere that brings me back and is challenging without being overbearing or threatening. I laugh my way through each class, always leaving drenched and with homework that was uniquely catered to my learning level and needs. If you're seeking a place that feels like community and is facilitated by folks that are dedicated to you reaching your goals-this is it. Run, don't walk. You won't regret it.

Mat Chess Mixed Martial Arts: what do users think?

Ken L: of this gym

Dalton: It's hard to beat the training level and sense of community at this gym. The owner instructors and training environment are top notch. The mats are kept clean and so many concepts are included in day to day training despite a heavy focus on fundamentals and essential skills. Top tier gym and sad I have to leave.

Lemon Juice: The workouts that they did was truly amazing it it definitely made me feel like I’m progressing in my techniques, even if it was my first time going into that gym. The community there was a very nice the people there were nice the teachers, the coaches, the members they made me feel very welcome.

Floyd Miracle: I came into town for a business trip, and the owner welcomed me into his gym. I showed up for morning class and everyone was welcoming and respectful. There was no ego and I felt like I had been training there for months. The instructor provided the perfect amount of detail and was open to answering questions even though I was dropping in. The gym was very clean, and the atmosphere was perfect. I can't thank them enough. I'll definitely be back on future trips!

Jake Levenson: Been training BJJ here for a little over a year after 3 years off during covid. It's a fantastic environment with great instruction and great training partners that constantly improve at a quick pace

Rohan Thanedar: Amazing experience! I am visiting from Chicago and was able to drop in for the evening nogi class with a friend who trains here. The head instructor, Andrew, was very kind and welcoming and taught a great class to boot. The room was full of great grapplers and everybody was very friendly! I was completely exhausted by the end of the rolls and left satisfied.10/10 would train here again, thanks for having me!

Taylor Sindayen: Andrew and the team are incredible instructors. Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The jujitsu class is full of skilled and friendly faces eager to teach as well as the striking classes. One of the best gyms in Seattle.

Phillip Johnson: This place is legit. Very high level training, but also super friendly. If you're looking for a place to train, consider here.

Vinayak Goyal: I've been to their weekend open mats twice now and this place is absolutely amazing. Andrew and everyone at this gym are super welcoming. The rolls are always super tough and technical. Andrew also gave me some really great technical advice after our roll and I can't wait to implement that in my game! I'll be back here for sure.

David McCoy: Visited Seattle and dropped in for a night. Andrew and Jacob are welcoming and hospitable. A good culture of athletes who take care of their training partners and appreciate the arts. I would definitely come back in the future.

The coaches are the best. Highly skilled in their sports and they know how to balance the approach of instilling discipline and respect to the kids while ensuring that kids will enjoy their time learning martial arts.

Thank you Phoenix judo club!!!

Diane Liu: . Our coaches were certified by USA Judo and US Judo Federation as well as international judo associations. We are so proud of our coaches accomplishments in the judo ranking of Blackbelt 4th to 6th Degrees. They are so dedicated to not only teach kids judo techniques but also nurture them into confident individuals. Our coaches teach sportsmanship, grit, and most importantly how to get back up after a fall. If you are looking for a judo club in the Puget Sound area, you must check this place out. Your kids will love it!

Yawen Tian: Best decision I've made was to sign up my boy for this judo program.My friend recommend this place。At first I just want something to burn off my boy's energy. But to my surprise, I found out he gradually became more confident and outgoing during this Judo class.Now my big boy is 7 and join the competition team, he already won several medals. My little boy just join the beginner's class, he also love this dojo very much.Recommend this dojo to all!!

Angie C: Our family relocated from Canada and found this exceptional Judo gym on Google. My boys have been practicing here for 6 months and they’ve learned so much including respect, discipline, and perseverance. The kind owner, professional senseis, and friendly families make this establishment an absolute gem. We are lucky to be a part of this team and I encourage anyone to try them out.

lu chang: my boys have been practicing judo here for almost two years. Very good place for kids, the Senseis are very kind patient and most importantly, very professional.

Jeanne Liang: We started coming to Phoenix gym Summer 2023 and right away, my boys loved this place!!! Not only this dojo has great sensai, but also kids there welcomed us with open arms.

I've really enjoy both parent judo and fitness especially the fitness class is very tailor's to individual's strength and needs. This is really a one stop shop for your entire family.

JESSMILLE: The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, providing thorough instruction in various martial arts disciplines. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to learn martial arts in a positive and encouraging environment!"

Manding Perez: Phoenix Gym is the best place to be for families of all ages - a way of life in the wonder world of Martial Arts.

Dashmaa Tsolmon: I recommend Phoenix Gym to everyone wanting to learn judo. This Judo club has the best coaches, team mates, facilities and the community is like a family. My son started doing judo 2 years ago and we have seen how much he has learned and now one of the best competitors.

Brandon Merrill: This dojo is amazing! I was very new to Judo when I first started out. I had only experience in wrestling as a grappling sport and with attending Phoenix gym I was able to transition very quickly into Judo. The sensei's there really work well with the Judoka and are constantly helping you improve to perfect your craft. I can honestly say that I don't have a single bad thing to say about this gym, the sensei's or the manager. I would highly recommend anyone that is able to come to Phoenix gym, to do so! I don't think you can find better training for Judo in the state of Washington!

Bryan Chu: A true gem of the Pacific Northwest that is a fantastic dojo for all skill levels. Whether you are interested in recreational judo just to learn the art or in high level competition, the dojo has something to offer you. The instructors are great. The attitude is friendly and family oriented, and the participants range from kids just there to learn and have fun to national level competitors.The coaches are international level competitors, who have reached the very highest levels of achievement including the Olympics, continental and national championships. People who would normally only be accessible through the rare special seminar are here to teach on a daily basis. The kids learn not only judo but also what it really means to have dedication, commitment and discipline.Beyond the people, the facility itself is excellent. The mats are on a sprung floor that increases the level of safety and reduces long term impact especially for older adults. If you’ve ever trained on mats places straight on foundation versus mats on a raised, sprung floor you’d immediately know the difference. The mat space itself is huge which give a lot of room to move and makes it safer to train.I highly recommend Phoenix Gym to anyone.

Seattle Integrated Martial Arts: what do users think?

Zoe Rohaly: I've been taking self defense classes for a few months now and I can't praise Bob and his technique enough. He's patient while also pushing me to overcome my fears and learn how to handle my own. Whether you're looking for self defense, regular fighting classes, or just a fun empowering way to workout - Bob is your guy!!!!!

Edwin del Carpio: There are quite a few martial schools in West Seattle, but Seattle Integrated Martial Arts effectively combines the arts of Kali, JKD, and my favorite, Panantukan. Bob, Jordo, and the entire team's instruction of each of the disciplines is unparalleled. And, there is no worry to be overwhelmed if you just started; each of the classes are thoughtfully structured and cater to all levels of experience. Likewise, you will definitely get a workout with the conditioning sets the instructors put together. If you are looking for a different way to get your body moving, Seattle Integrated Martial Arts is the way to go.

Derek T: Great place to train! Decent sized gym with good equipment. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, core group of students in each discipline with a fair bit of crossover.Not an aggro school so look elsewhere if looming for that.

John de Mars: SIMA is a great gym for BJJ, JKD/KALI, and Muay Thai. Classes range beginner to advanced.

Seattle City Talent: I’ve trained Inosanto lineage Kali/JKD at another great gym, spent time in some of the best MMA and boxing gyms in Seattle so I’ve got a significant point of reference. Just started here and I can already tell you this is one of the best martial art gyms in Seattle! Very practical, fun and realistic in all ranges of combat. Do yourself a favor and check Guro Bob out if you want to learn the real deal in a comfortable environment.

Jaime Forero: Great martial arts studio

SEA Gyke: Fantastic staff and instructors. Great programs for adults and kids. Community atmosphere among the students.

Wes Olsen: My son has been here for almost two years and loves it. Great teachers and staff and a helpful growing culture on the mats.

Karl Barmuta: I originally enrolled at Seattle Integrated Martial Arts because I was having problems at home and I needed a way to let out stress and get in better shape. What I found here was so much more. Originally I was shy and intimidated training with these guys who could completely crush me if they wanted, but one of the philosophies at SIMA is that anyone should feel comfortable training with anyone else. Over the past 3 years SIMA has become an important part of my life with many of my training partners becoming very close friends. I'm more confident now and in better shape than I have been in in the past 18 years. It's a wonderful community so drop on it, give it a chance and see how it can change your life.

Chris Pitts: I'm fairly new to SIMA and I've found the environment fantastic. The instructors are all patient, very prepared for every class, thorough and welcoming. My classmates have all been great to work with. Being very new I have felt like everyone wants to support each other and will help to make sure you get it right every time. I feel very safe here and always look forward to the next class.

Ben Astaire: I've been going to classes at SIMA for about two months now and I'm stronger, faster, and feeling better than I have since I was in college. I really wanted to learn Jeet Kune Do and SIMA is one of the few places that offers it. I take classes in Kali and Muay Thai mainly, which are complementary and contributory to learning JKD later. And there are at least four other kinds of fighting that I don't practice but I can jump in and out of anytime I want.The classes aren't fussy, pretentious, or reliant on ceremony as a lot of other martial arts schools are. Show up, wear the school t-shirt, bow-in, and practice. Most classes consist of a series of moves that range from one beat to complex combinations. Every exercise builds on the last and instructors are patient, observant, and invested in ensuring that each person in a class executes exercises properly. Good technique leads to speed and you see steady results week to week.Bob, the owner, is an affable fella who's hired some highly skilled, very dedicated instructors who also practice and compete for the school. There's a strong community and camaraderie at SIMA. It's a great place to learn a new new way to exercise your mind and body without the posturing and self-consciousness of being on your own in a gym.

Ty: Great instructor, great people and a great workout!

Gracie Barra Kirkland: what do users think?

Franciane Gulshani: I like the friendly and warming atmosphere. The ladies class I attend are the best and Solange is not only knowledgeable but also very kind and professional!

Alex Budchanin: We like the club for its atmosphere and training style. Here each kid receives personal attention. Professor Joshua is a very experienced instructor and because of him, kids achieve results!

nathan harrison: Professor Joshua and Solange are nothing short of perfect. They create a safe and welcoming environment, while being able to explain the lessons in a digestible manor. This can be an intimidating sport to get into, and from the get go, they turned my fear into fun. 10/10 recommend.

Olivia Bacallao: Amazing teachers, awesome training space. Check them out, you won’t regret it!

Erik Tata: Come to GB Kirkland to learn effective jiu jitsu in an approachable, fun environment!

Jessica Harlow: My family has been going to this gym for over 2 years. The staff are focused on their teaching and provide a professional and fun environment.

Emma Grey: , lunchtime classes, and evening/weekend classes, so whatever your schedule is, you can train regularly.I also really appreciate the way Solange runs the office side of things so very smoothly and painlessly.

Holly Campbell: Gracie Barra Kirkland is a solid juijitsu gym. As a student from another gym, they have been welcoming, professional, and inclusive. I find the passion of the instructors and administration infectious. They inspire the students lucky enough to train with them and set the example for other gyms to aspire to. Hands down, an easy choice to make this gym your gym.

Joy Coy: We love Gracie Barra Kirkland! We have been coming to the gym for over 2 years now. It started with my son and now our whole family goes weekly to classes. Professor Joshua and Coach Solange are awesome and really create an environment for learning, training and community whether you are a beginner or experienced and all ages!

Justin Carlucci: Мои дети и я ходим сюда уже более 2 лет и не можем сказать об этом более высокую оценку. У них есть терпеливые, преданные своему делу сотрудники, которые находят способ эффективно обучать и наставлять практически любой тип людей и стиль обучения. Кроме того, они проделали фантастическую работу по созданию гостеприимного сообщества среди участников. Я бы порекомендовал эту студию всем, кто интересуется BJJ, боевыми искусствами, фитнесом или способом заставить себя выйти из зоны комфорта и добиться личностного роста.

Manny Alexander: Если вы думали об этом и продолжаете откладывать, НЕ ДЕЛАЙТЕ!Просто ПОКАЖИТЕСЬ! Вы не пожалеете об этом!Джош и Соланж позволяют легко принять участие.

Laura JH: Отличный коллектив, преподаватели мирового уровня. GB Kirkland — замечательный тренажерный зал, который улучшил мою игру и помог создать сообщество.

Andrew Rankin: Отличное место для тренировок

Benjamin Gross: Впервые мы пришли сюда, услышав восторг наших друзей по этому поводу. Через несколько недель стало очевидно, что Джош — один из самых опытных и компетентных инструкторов, которых я когда-либо встречал. Он посвятил этому свою жизнь, и очевидно, что у него есть любовь и страсть направлять и вдохновлять других. Было бы упущением, если бы я не упомянул, насколько удивительна Соланж. Вместе они проводят потрясающую операцию. Остальная часть тренерской команды — одни из самых преданных своему делу и профессиональных людей, с которыми мне еще приходилось сталкиваться. Послушайте, наши дети прыгают в машину 3 раза в неделю, и большинство дней они с нетерпением ждут поездки. Такого никогда не было ни с чем другим. Они тоже рады соревноваться! Примечание: если вы прочитаете отрицательные отзывы, вы заметите, что практически все они написаны до того, как они взяли на себя управление деятельностью.

Shafeek Bakhach: Я хожу в эту школу уже около 5 недель и получаю удовольствие от каждого занятия, которое посещаю. В тренажерном зале действительно есть много вариантов занятий в течение недели: от ежедневных в 6:30 утра до занятий в середине дня и вечерних занятий. Помимо гибкого графика, это один из немногих спортивных залов в этом районе, который предлагает несколько вариантов но-ги в течение недели.Это также место для семейного отдыха: в течение недели проводится много детских занятий, и нет ничего необычного в том, чтобы зайти в спортзал днем ​​и увидеть детей, играющих прямо за дверью или в вестибюле. Буквально на прошлой неделе была вечеринка с мороженым в честь дня рождения одного из учителей, и дети выстроились в очередь за порциями мороженого.В общем, это отличный тренажерный зал, независимо от того, являетесь ли вы любителем или хотите участвовать в соревнованиях. Благодаря множеству различных возможностей и партнеров по тренировкам этот тренажерный зал отлично подходит для ваших нужд в джиу-джитсу.

Brandon Hexsel: I’ve been coming here for about three weeks now and have nothing but positive things to say. The instructors are good people and accomplished jiu jitsu practitioners. Classes are focused. I haven’t encountered any jerks or people who are careless. I’ve already learned a lot. Quit watching hours upon hours of YouTube videos on BJJ like me and just join already 😆

mark chappell: Отличное место для тренировок независимо от уровня подготовки! Джош – инструктор и участник очень высокого уровня, один из самых опытных на северо-западе. В тренажерном зале очень дружелюбная и гостеприимная атмосфера, где все просто хотят помочь друг другу совершенствоваться.

Garrick Bennett: Отличное место для тренировок, есть варианты для всех возрастов и опыта.

Alpha Martial Arts: what do users think?

Thomas McElroy: . He had his birthday party here and a friend joined and has loved it too. Great instructors and structure to the classes. Cannot recommend it enough.

Robin W: . The program fosters the development of physical and mental skills along with a sense of goal-setting and achievement. It's been so rewarding to see my son's confidence and self-discipline grow as he's moved through the different belts and class levels. I cannot recommend Alpha enough!

Nikita Nekliudov: Very friendly and welcoming environment, fantastic teachers, they reignited my love for kickboxing, highly recommend

Ibrahim Sky: This place have so much fun I can’t imagine

Shreya Sriram: I visited this martial arts studio in 2018 for the first time. The environment here is simply amazing and the instructors go around to clarify any questions the students have and help correct their form. I took a break in between and resumed classes in 2021, I really love the instructors despite the number of times we're asked to do burpees in a class. Sarah, Alex, Sarah, Jay are just the best. I don't feel like I'm attending a class, it's just fun to do these drills that were once super exhausting. I'm glad to have gained some strength and lost quite a lot of weight since I joined these classes again in 2021. Also, it feels safe working out here during the pandemic thanks to the masking policy they have that they take very seriously.

Pratik Agarwal: Sarah and the team provide a great kickboxing experience at AMA. Newbie or old timer to workouts; this place will make you sweat!

Darrell John: I love the early morning fitness kickboxing!

Suprova Sarkar: Great place to learn martial arts with super enthusiastic and dedicated trainer.

Veky V: Good layout, fun and positive attitude-one healthy and good environment for beginners or intermediate fighters. Would highly recommend to everyone willing to do some exercise and learn some kickboxing skills

Dorothy Ho: My almost seven-year-old girl has been here for about a year and we love it. The teachers are awesome, the location can't be beat. It's a welcoming environment with a solid curriculum for young kids from the age of four. Instills discipline while teaching kickass moves. LOVE IT.

Eva Carlstrom: are both in karate classes at Alpha Martial Arts. They enjoy it and benefit from the training, both physical

Jason Gold: Way better than working out on your own or at a gym... The instructors are great and keep you motivated to push on. The best hour workout I have ever had and I'm learning some technique as well!

Jason Sims: Great workout in just an hour. Surprising how quickly you work into a sweat. Great way to cross-train for endurance athletes.

The Stasj: . After your first session, you're let loose upon the room, choosing your own Wave Master to wail on. On occasion, the class is packed, so you might have to share, which is how you meet people

Northwest Jiu Jitsu Academy: what do users think?

Kevin Vaughan-Carber: Dropped in here while visiting the area. Great gym. Clean mats with a nice strength/conditioning area. Technical instruction. Training partners in the 11AM class to suit a wide range of skill levels. Would feel comfortable here as a beginner or experienced competitor.

Karl Barmuta: Brian is an amazing instructor and his school is one of the best, and cleanest gyms around! Update edit: Going on 9 years of training and still feel this way.

Raymond Sue: This is the absolute best place to learn and train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Seattle. Professor Brian Johnson is not only an incredible competitor, he also provides world class instruction. There’s a great mat culture and an all round team of supportive students from all walks of life. It’s an immaculately clean facility free of egos. If you’re looking to try BJJ first time or are looking for a gym to drop into from out of town, I can’t recommend NWJJA enough.

MLZ: Top notch academy

Allie Enriquez: . Brian learned my name immediately and he has a very clear coaching style, but also makes sure we are challenged so things dont get boring. I would highly recommend Northwest Jiu Jitsu Academy!

Praxis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: what do users think?

Gavin Carew: As a disclaimer, I've trained here since 2015.I think what makes Praxis unique is that you are free to do Jiu jitsu how you like. If you just want some exercise, nobody will pressure you in to rolling hard or competing. If you want to compete, you will be pushed by all the high- level Jiu jitsu, including by professors Larry and Marty who roll frequently.

E. P.: Professor Larry, is the Man!

Adam Grimm: Awesome gym to train at. I drop in and train here when traveling to Seattle. Larry is great at teaching those little details that help improve your technique.

Matt Vardeman: I had the opportunity to train at this gym. Great instruction, structured classes, good safe competitive environment that focused on learning. Highly recommend this gym in Seattle.

Brett Walker: While traveling for work I was able to take a class with Larry. He was very knowledgeable and was able to improve my understanding of how to utilize my training partner’s weight/pressure to improve my position. It was a very challenging session. I am excited to come back on my next trip.

Randall Sanders: Fantastic gym to train at. I was visiting from Tennessee and Professor Larry was extremely welcoming, as were his students. He loaned me a gi with no hesitation and allowed me to join his advanced class. The rolls were very hard but safe, everyone was trying to get better and not trying to hurt anyone just to win. Very competitive gym, very clean, and I would recommend training here whether you live in Seattle or are just visiting.

Ranjan Lamichhane: A really cool place to master the art of Jiu Jitsu. The trainer is great, and so are all the people you train with. Very respectful, technical, and fun.

Sarah Maureen: Excellent training, coaching and community.

Brian LosKamp: Amazing people. Amazing training. Amazing instructor - Professor Larry is who you want to train you. Give Praxis a try and you will not regret it.

Valerie Hawkins: I trained here while travelling for work and had a wonderful experience! Larry was approachable, friendly, and of course knowledgeable. The students were welcoming and helpful when I had questions. I especially loved the advanced class where Larry showed us just a couple moves and taught broad concepts but then allowed the students to be creative and play with the new movements/concepts. I found it very helpful adding that in after standard drilling to see how if fits in with your overall game. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Seattle!

Beatrice Jin: I trained at Praxis for a week from out of town in 2019 and the experience stuck with me ever since. Larry has created in incredible, inclusive environment where people of all levels can safely train and develop as martial arts. I visited again in 2022 and was not disappointed. This is one of the best places in town to start your jiu-jitsu journey. Solid fundamentals, plenty of details, helpful students, well run class.

Kogaion Academy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Judo: While in Seattle I trained at Praxis BJJ. I highly recommend training there if you are in town or want to become a student. Professor Larry’s quality teaching is top notch, the class is well balanced with drilling, situationals and sparring. Students are welcoming and friendly, facility has a clean elevated extra-cushioned mat area. Safe, technical and welcoming.

kaushali kanakia: Praxis is a great gym with lots of classes for beginners to train through the week. The teachers are kind and patient. Even with little to no knowledge before joining, I enjoy every class and feel I am getting better every time. Larry is a great teacher!

Sebastian Matei: Just started training BJJ a month ago here and have really enjoyed it. Everyone is laid back and want to help you improve. Instructors, including the owner Larry are welcoming and knowledgeable. It's worth checking out, especially if you're near downtown Seattle.
