Jae Hun Kim Taekwon-Do Institute: what do users think?

Erika S: Фантастические тренеры! Мои дети любят, любят, любят это место, и я тоже! Хорошо управляемый объект.

Paulin Basinga: Положительные:Качество,Общение и связь,Профессионализм

isaac mooers: Я учусь здесь более 5 лет, это отличное место для изучения традиционного тхэквондо.

Joseph Cress: . Прежде всего, главный инструктор г-жа Перрен. Я был невероятно впечатлен, наблюдая, как она преподает в классе ребенка. Она способна читать комнату, направлять внимание туда, где это необходимо, подбадривать или любезно

Yonnie Watkins: , и мой сын многому научился. Очень рекомендую!

Amber Gaw: Fabulous place to learn taekwondo-do, build confidence, and have fun. Mrs. Perrin is an incredible teacher and person.

Samuel Dassler: but safety is always paramount. Once I joined I wasn’t just a member of the school, but a member of a family. Jae Hun Kim Tae Kwon Do Seattle is my other home.

ElenawithH: But as a current student of the place for the last 10 months and as someone who has come from the country that Taekwondo has originated, I can assure you this is the right place to practice it. This is the best Taekwondo school that I’ve ever experienced in my life. When I decided to practice it here in a foreign country, I had to do some research about this one and many others. Once you start, it would not take you long to find out this place is exceptionally good, not only for training Taekwondo, but also for the head master, instructors, and community. Not to mention the Changheon-yu Taekwondo style is more traditional, interesting, and practical than others! I value Ms. Perrin’s knowledge and personality, because she knows how to lead the students and encourage them.

Sara Dawson: since I originally trained as a teen. Back then it was simply a great way to get out of the house and spend time with friends. Now, taekwon-do gives me strength through a full-body workout, mental clarity through being present, confidence through embracing challenge, community through new friendships, and growth as I progress through the curriculum. I can’t imagine a future without taekwon-do in it. It’s not about crossing Black Belt off my bucket list. It’s about an ongoing commitment to myself and taking actions that are in alignment with my values. It took the right time along with the right curriculum, instructors, and community for me to finally take action and I am so thankful I did my research. You’ve come to the right place if you are looking for TOP-quality instruction and an amazing community. I encourage you to come see for yourself!

Amelia Roberts: I began practicing taekwondo at JHK three years ago, hoping to learn some new skills, find an exercise I liked doing and meet new people. The school has exceeded my expectations. I appreciate head instructor Ms. Perrin’s emphasis on students’ understanding of the function of movements and how to effectively generate power. The class offerings cover a range of subjects, meaning that there is always something to learn or perfect. In addition to the physical aspects of taekwondo, there is a focus on positive attitude and community, which you can definitely feel. It’s nice to know that the students, as well as instructors, are happy to help each other, whether that means figuring out tricky new moves, checking back in on a twisted ankle or working on sparring together.

Anna Tsai: , and I'd say it's accessible to all ages and abilities. In addition, Ms. Perrin keeps things interesting with special events and challenges from time to time.As a bonus, everyone JHK is really welcoming and I'm so glad I get to be part of this fantastic community. Absolutely recommend if you are looking for a great place to do taekwondo!

Muhamad Yusri Bin Mohamed Supiyan: . Before beginning taekwondo I had practiced another form of martial arts for around six years during my early to mid-20s. My experience at the JHK Institute has been rather pleasant and fulfilling so far. I wish I could come to more sessions per week but as a graduate student my schedule gets insane pretty often. However, I always look forward to coming to the sessions. All of the instructors are great. Ms Perrin, the head instructor, is very professional yet very approachable, very knowledgeable, and is also focused on the details of the techniques and moves we do on the floor. She also gives very good and timely feedback. In my opinion Ms Perrin is super legit. This is also a very professionally run school

Karen Hartman: spar with other students, and VERY nervous the first time I did it myself. However, every moment has been safely, carefully supervised with clear communication, proper gear, and true expertise and care.Owner and Lead Instructor Ms. Perrin is a multi black belt master teacher with endless tricks up her sleeve to reach both kids and adults. She teaches just about all the classes herself. Supportive environment yet rigorous. Lots of classes in the schedule. Easy location. Wonderful part of Seattle!

Ellie Shane: Over the last two years, I have been a member of the JHK dojang and this wonderful school has had such an amazing impact on my life. As a child, I practiced tae kwon do and fell in love with the sport. As I grew up and went off to college, I fell out of practice. A couple years ago, I got the itch to come back to tae kwon do after a 7 year hiatus and was really nervous. My former school had closed, so I knew I would have to start over somewhere. I worried that it would be different than what I grew up with and that I wouldn't be able to do it as well as I had as a child. After the first few weeks at JHK, all of my worries were gone. The school is very welcoming of new people and Ms. Perrin and her staff of instructors do a lot to differentiate the instruction to meet individual needs and personalize your learning in a positive and safe environment. One thing that really stood out to me about the environment of JHK was that they encouraged me to use my previous knowledge and skills as building blocks to grow from in a new style of tae kwon do. I love the curriculum at JHK because it is rooted in the traditional tae kwon do style and continually introduces new skills to keep me motivated as a learner. I have also had the pleasure of becoming part of the JHK community and have made some amazing new friends at the school who encourage me in my training as well. Overall, training at JHK has been one of the best experiences of my life! I cannot overstate how much I love my tae kwon do school!

Megan Watzke: My kids have been going to the Jae H. Kim studio for years. Right now, my two youngest are part of the "Tiny Tot" program. Ms. Perrin and her staff do an excellent job and I can't recommend this studio highly enough. If you are looking for quality martial arts instruction -- in particular, a traditional taekwondo curriculum -- I don't think there's a better option in the greater Seattle area.

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

Family Black Belt Academy: what do users think?

Karim Bouguedoura: It's just one of the best places here in Seattle where my daughter was able to learn a lot about martial arts, discipline and leadership. Being part of this program has helped us a lot to measure and develop our child's potential. I highly recommend it to all parents who want a structured and fun activity.

Carli van Maurik: I am a single mom of 3 young boys. I enrolled initially thinking it was “just” a karate class and the boys could burn some energy and learn some self-control.It has been far more than that. This place has been a godsend. It is a community that essentially helps me raise my boys. It is a behavior modification program that uses positive peer pressure, accomplishment based rewards and ties in home/school life performance.My boys love being ninjas and they are very motivated to complete the tasks assigned of them outside of the program. This place has made the difference needed for me to be able to care for 3 young boys on my own.It far exceeds anything I could have ever hoped for. The change in my boys behavior was immediate and is progressively improving.

Graham Smyth: A top-tier martial arts school in Seattle run by highly competent black belts who will make a major difference in your kids’ lives. Highly recommend.

Norman Cerk: Family Blackbelt Academy has been a huge game changer for our 8 year old son. He attends classes 2-3 times per week but would come every day if he could. Can’t recommend it enough!

Adam Calder: Signing up was a great decision. We’ve learned discipline, developed confidence and had a ton of fun! The team and instructors are world class and it truly feels like we joined a family.

Ahmed El-Shimi: My 7 yr old loves Family black belt. It’s the right mix of fun and discipline. the staff are excellent at engaging and encouraging the kids to set goals and work towards them.

Ashraf AlKarmi: Incredible staff… they help teach kids how to be better humans while teaching them self defense.. the whole staff, each one, genuinely cares, don’t look anywhere else if you want any form or martial arts for your kid.

Eric Nelson: Our daughter has been coming here for the past year and absolutely loves it. She’s been learning discipline and focus and we’ve seen remarkable growth. The mat chats teach valuable lessons, and the focus here is about helping children learn and build connection and community. It’s also a ton of fun to do obstacle courses!

Jan Lappin: Love this place ! The owners really care about the students, and the life skills they teach are phenomenal. This program is an investment in your family.

Wesley Cumberland: Our daughter has had a wonderful experience here. She has always been relatively shy. The program's emphasis on focus and confidence has been amazing for her self-confidence. And of course she has a lot of fun in class too and looks forward to it every day she goes. We're so happy we decided to join

nygel turner: This academy really gives you welcoming energy from jump. They work well with you and your family and make sure your kids have fun while learning options on things that they may approach later on.

Akaiyasia S: My kids love it here! The teachers are amazing! They learn not only martial arts, but also lessons that they can carry with them through out their life!

Jessica Reed: My daughter has been waiting to start martial arts! It's something we've been talking about for a while and she was adamant about it.Today was her 1st class/evaluation and she LOVED IT. I appreciate them teaching values that we all desire to pass on to our kids. It truly "takes a village" but not all of us have one. The next class is on Tuesday and she can't wait.

Bilal Kartal: Great instructors! Nice place for kids to learn martial arts with fun filled activities.

Kendall Craig: My son loves going to Karate!!! The staff are wonderful working with the kids, so patient and kind. They are doing a great job teaching responsibility and so many other virtues that every kid/person should learn. You can tell that they care about each and every kid.

Pria Dhaliwal: We had a wonderful experience with our 3 kids at Family Black Belt Academy. The instructors were enthusiastic and energetic. The lessons were very engaging for my children. A great way for kids to get their energy out and learn to focus.

Levi Thomas: We've thoroughly enjoyed the physical and life skills combination approach and seeing our daughter grow her confidence!

Meagan Finnell: The karate program is so much more than I expected! They emphasize creating well-rounded students in class and at home. I cannot praise Family Black Belt Academy enough.

Su Lin Tseng: Two of my children attend this academy since October, 2022. most of time, my husband and I join classes with them. I really appreciate the principal and teaching concept of school, the knowledge and quality of teaching from all instructors are very good. One thing that really stands out for me is the academy offers leadership classes, which provides useful real life skills to students. This academy creates a wonderful dynamic between instructors, students and parents, in which kids can carry on their discipline back to home. Highly recommend!

MKG Martial Arts, Kickboxing & Fitness: what do users think?

Jose Armando Martinez: If you're wondering if you should try out MKG, stop, and go try it! I have attended their classes since 5 months ago and I can't be happier with the community, knowledge, trust, and respect that has been built with my teammates.Their essentials classes are a great way to delve with both feet into the great world of martial arts, even if you're a total newbie like I am. Their program is structured and you won't feel lost, as these classes are thought in a way that they can be useful for both new people, or even the experienced martial artist looking to finesse their technique.Eventually you will get a hang of the essentials and will be ready to branch off to many of their other classes. Their coaches are great and will help out with any doubt or question; Mandy, Ryan, Steve, Manolito, Brian, Medwin, and many others will make you feel welcomed, and help you explore your own martial artist venture. If you decide to give a shot, see you in HIIT class!

Maddie Ask: I held a sorority self-defense class with this company and i could not recommend them MORE. they were very patient with all 45 girls we had in attendance, the course was very hands on and we were able to get real world applications for the moves we learned. tell you mom, sister, friend, anyone you can to come take a class here. i will 100% be back for the in depth self defense class.

Amber Worley: Just took their Womens Self Defense Workshop and man I am so glad that I did.It is a powerful, 5 hour course on how to deal with the unthinkable. Its hard to face it but so glad I did.I now feel like I might have a chance in a scary situation to make it out alive and go home to my family.They are sensitive to the topic and have women volunteers to practice with along with large men in padded suites whom the instructor encourages to hit as hard as you can.There is a big difference between practice and actually hitting someone.Thank you!!! Thank you.

Derek T: Great school with friendly folks and knowledgable staff. Lots of fitness equipment, decent selection of supplies. Limited parking. Food truck on site.

Colton Cannon: The MKG staff emanates professionalism and hospitality. I am consistently challenged by the coaches and have seen an appreciable increase in my overall fitness. I think you will be hard pressed to find a Crossfit gym of equal value in the greater Seattle area and I found their prices to be more than fair; they even have a military/veteran discount. If you reading this, this is your sign to come join us!

Neil Shah: MKG has been life changing for me. I love the coaches and the people. It has allowed me to not only to get in shape but also challenged me to go further in fitness abilities that I thought I never had!

Ben Shapiro: This school is top notch in the Pacific NW. The instructors take great pride in quality organized instruction. Students are encouraged to develop their skills and seek higher measure in their abilities and life's journey. There is also a strong sense of family kinship and respect at MKG. Safety Is also stressed as most combative skills here are developed through interactive learning as students pair up for drills.

Darren Monk: Started here back in October ‘21 with the goal of losing weight and improving stamina. Was 226lb when I started and today I am 205! Very supportive trainers and the other people in class are kind and supportive also. Excellent gym and I fully recommend it.

Jill Olney: MKG is a great place to work out! They do a good job of challenging the elite athlete or modifying your work out if you are beginning a fitness regimen to or recovering from an injury.Coaches Scott and Tammy are excellent at teaching the fundamentals of each lift. The work outs are incredibly challenging and tough! However, I love the way I feel after a CrossFit session. I see progress in my lifting, flexibility and cross-functional training. When I started at MKG I came in as a experienced cycle instructor-- but I had so much room to grow incorporating burpees, rowing, the ski machine and more.The MOD's will challenge you link no other! Check them out!

Tracy Holmes: Love this place! Awesome teachers and students. I recommend them to everyone, for crossfit to kick boxing to self defense, they have it all!

Matt Pride: I've been going to MKG for about 8 months now. I feel like I've learned so much, and yet have still so much to learn. It's been an exceptional experience all the way through.I originally joined for the Kali classes, but then started getting really into the kickboxing and muay thai classes, too. There is a lot of depth to the curriculum, especially if you cross-train in each of the different styles being taught.The instructors I've learned under here have all been phenomenal. Sifu Andrew Wilson, the owner and lead instructor of MKG, is a great teacher. He's got a wealth of knowledge from decades of martial arts experience, and has run this local, family-owned business in Seattle for 20+ years. He is a patient and insightful teacher, and is always willing to provide honest and constructive feedback to help each student progress. It's inspiring to see such dedication from a martial artist and small business owner, and only further reinforces my appreciation for his school.Ryan Teal, another teacher there, is a brilliant instructor, and really knows how to motivate students to push themselves, both in skill and fitness. He is a very friendly and encouraging guy, but his classes present an impressive level of challenge which will test you both physically and mentally. He displays an amazing level of skill in communicating and demonstrating techniques, but puts your skills to the test with a level of complexity which will not hold your hand. He also participates in the challenging workouts alongside the class, which is extremely motivating and inspires me to fight through the exhaustion just like he does. He's an absolute top-tier teacher, and I have mad respect for him.And yes, the stuff you learn here is practical for self-defense.This school has remained standing strong through the many challenges COVID-19 put in front of martial arts schools, and it has been a place for me to turn to for knowledge, inspiration, courage, and friendship.I give MKG my highest recommendation, it's a dope martial arts school.

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.

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.

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 !

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!
