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.

Jason Brisson: A truly great Gym. The instructors are kind, skilled, and passionate about their respective disciplines.

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 !

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!

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.

Lotus Jiu Jitsu: what do users think?

Gabe Sprague: I've had such a good experience here. An inclusive jiujitsu community that welcomes everyone. I have no prior jiujitsu experience and found the instruction very clear, effective, and patient. I also have a child that trains here, and they do a great job with her.The community here is top notch, too, with other members being very helpful and understanding of everyone's personal and shared journeys.

Stuart Lehalle: Our two kiddos 5 and 7 love their class. In only six months we’ve seen our oldest blossom in confidence and physical awareness. He brags about how he exercises being still and concentrating in class. Our youngest has a hard time in new group situations and he has just slipped right in and is so happy. The instructor is really fun and attentive to the kids needs and learning. It’s been a great experience for our family.

Vasileios Siafos: .I know that his dream was at one point to open his own dojo and share the knowledge that he obtain from Professor Eduardo's teachings thru out the years.If you choose to go and train with him I can guaranty you a very friendly martial arts environment that caters to all level students from the very beginner to advance.Professor Bravo is a very passionate individual with a wealth of Knowledge and tournament experience.Lotus club Jiujitsu roots originate from São Paulo Brazil and focuses a lot on the traditional style kimono Jiujitsu witch in my opinion is the best way to start your journey in the gentle art.If you live in the Seattle area pop in and take a class, you won't be disappointed! Osssss !

Tai Luu: I started 3 months ago with no prior experience and I couldn't be happier to have found Lotus to begin my jiu jitsu journey. Professor Bravo is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also a gifted and patient teacher who genuinely cares about each of his students. Every person I've met here has been very welcoming and inclusive, making it feel like a tight knit community who supports each other to learn, grow, and meet whatever goals we have for ourselves. I hope to enroll my daughter here when she gets a bit older as it's clear the kids program is thriving as well. No hesitations in recommending Lotus to anyone thinking about joining!

JoyAnn Pardo: As a woman new to a gym what I'm looking for is to feel safe and welcomed. And Lotus provided that from the very start, especially through their Women's Classes. Every class I leave with a smile, having felt challenged, empowered, and exhausted in the best way. I also appreciate knowing this is a club committed to social justice and serving the community.

Sam Louie: I started training recently and can’t be happier with the values here at Lotus: safety, detail-oriented, and the sense of community. Professor treats his craft with love and respect and it emanates through his instruction, organization, and sincere desire to help everyone improve. The other practitioners are dedicated not only their growth but your growth as well.

Gus Millevolte: Mindful self defense training with a patient knowledgeable instructor. A wonderfully supportive training environment that offers a safe community for all. Rolls that are well worth your time and commitment.

Hila Berkovitsh: What a wonderful place it is for the little ones to burn some energy, practice Jiujitsu and learn some self control.My kids are loving it and couldn't recommend them more!

Alexandre Papa manara: One of the best professors in the West Coast!! Best place in Seattle 🙏🙌

Christopher Vranos: From the minute I stepped on the mat and met the team, I had a great time. Coach Bravo is excellent, and all of his students follow his example to be friendly and helpful. I have a spine injury from a recent unrelated accident a few months ago, and their team was totally accommodating. Every member worked with me carefully to make sure not to put pressure on my neck, and they modified techniques to make sure that even though there were things I couldn't do, I could still gain something from the class. I'd highly recommend this gym for being safe and fun. You won't find kinder people anywhere.

Alison Billings: Our son has attended Lotus for close to 2 years and has found a wonderfully supportive community to learn Jiu Jitsu and all benefits of this thoughtful martial art.

kelby johnson: . Jessica is an amazing communicator and is super flexible with scheduling. She also solicits feedback from practitioners to improve programming. I

Jennifer Weston: Love Lotus Jiu Jitsu! Such a warm and welcoming space with a great sense of community. Everyone is very friendly and encouraging. Highly recommend!

J. Rochell Thurman-Nguyen: and for the past year+ has been doing classes in-person. As a parent, it can be hard finding a good fit in terms of extracurricular activities, and I have been so impressed with this organization. I know that when my daughter is at the Lotus BJJ dojo, she is seen, safe, cared for, respected and encouraged. Over these past 2 years, I have seen growth in her discipline, building community with others, and empowerment. I appreciate the care and passion that the owners, Profe Bravo and his wife Jessica, bring to the dojo every day. As a BIPOC parent, it is also important to me to be intentional about the spaces that my children are in and to see diversity of ethnic and other social identities. Lotus BJJ encourages and welcomes this diversity. My daughter looks forward to her BJJ classes each week and I feel both lucky and proud to be in the Lotus BJJ family.

Leila Mohamed: Lotus jiu-jitsu club was the best place to be for my 5yo daughter after we faced grief and some hardships in housing, she is thriving and is becoming a more confident little girl than she used to be. The team who is welcoming our kids are just genuinely amazing and are doing an excellent job at teaching this self defense martial art! Very appreciative of their effort!

Norea Hoeft: Can't say enough about what an amazing community Professor Enrique and Jessica have created here in Seattle. My daughter has built confidence, strength, and serious fighting skills, and she has met life-long friends and mentors. As she grows into a young woman, I feel immensely comforted that she has this experience and training. We feel so lucky to have found Lotus!

Ricardo Gabriel: I've known Professor Enrique and Jessica for about 20 years. They are two of the most talented, kindhearted, and honorable people I know. They are special people who live out their commitment to community and social justice in everything they do. I mention these things because character is one of the first things you should look for in a martial arts instructor. I had the pleasure of training with Professor Enrique in NYC just before I became a blue belt. Like all good BJJ instructors, he is great at sparring safely with beginners in a way that challenges them and enables them to learn. As a Lotus Jiu Jitsu black belt, Professor Enrique's lineage is strong and he learned from one of the best, Professor Eduardo Santos, who I also had the pleasure of training under. If you're in Seattle, this is the place to be to begin or continue your BJJ journey.

Eddy Rivera: Lotus is an incredible place to train. Professor is extremely patient and insightful. Lotus provides a safe environment to learn and grow with the sport. It’s a great space for kids as well as adults to get into BJJ. I especially love how their whole family is involved and so it feels like a fantastic environment for anyone, or everyone, in the family to get involved with BJJ. While I trained with them in their earliest stages awhile back, if I was in Seattle long term, my whole family would be training with them consistently.

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

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.

The gym was very clean, and the atmosphere was perfect. I can't thank them enough. I'll definitely be back on future trips!

Jacob Flores: Great environment highly recommend to everyone.

Frankie Kraft: very friendly and knowledgeable place to train a very good workout and class structure.

mustafa albdairi: I have been going to mat chess for 2 years now.

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.

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.

Yonas Meshesha: I highly recommend training at Mat Chess if you are anywhere near the area! I joined for the Jiu Jitsu class and the instruction by Andrew was very in depth and thought out. The athletes were very friendly and welcoming with drilling/rolls. The facility was large and clean, a solid gym.

Kaleb Buckley: Great experience, great environment and people! Can’t wait to come back!

Kyle Wood: Great facility, welcoming people and fun rolls! Definitely recommend this place and the owner, Andrew, is a great dude!

I’m always learning and have positive encouragement from my peers and the professors. A real family vibe it is always a good feeling walking in the gym over four years later still loving it more and more everyday. There is also many schools around the US where you are always welcomed and encouraged to train A++++

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!

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.
