Brazilian Top Team Portland

“What a great place to train! Chris, Michelle and the rest of the coaching staff are amazing! Their kids program is top notch! It provides effective, age appropriate training for all skill levels! There are kids stepping on the mats for the first time to kids that are in national competition mode! The adult program is set up to work with all skill levels as well! If you’re just starting the journey with your kids or looking for yourself, you won’t be disappointed with the level of support found here! We love BTT Portland! I also recommend to check out their IG to see videos, what we have been up to and what it is like to be part of such a welcoming community!”

“Chris Standing is one of our family’s favorite bjj coaches. Our kids love training at BTT Portland so much that we commute from Oregon City 4-5 times a week in rush hour traffic. Professor Chris is extremely knowledgeable, and has an incredible talent for explaining and demonstrating moves to his students. He has the biggest heart, and is amazing at working with all people, especially children. We love the time and care that he and Coach Michelle put into each student to make sure that they understand what is being taught. You can tell that they really care about their gym, and love their community! If you want a quality jiu jitsu education, check out BTT Portland!”

“I traveled into Portland for work and had the opportunity to train at Brazilian Top Team Portland. Professor Chris and Michelle are outstanding martial artists, instructors, and people in general. They recently doubled the mat space and have very cool ideas on how to shape BTT Portland 2.0. Whether you are a hobbyist, child, adult, competitor, male or female, I would highly recommend training at BTT Portland! Look forward to coming back. Thank you Professor Chris & Michelle.”

“Chris and Michelle run a great gym. I came in for Sunday open mat, as a no-stripe white belt training at another school in town. Both they and their students were so welcoming and friendly. I had three rolls (one no-gi blue belt, one gi white belt, and one gi brown belt). All were happy to roll and were super respectful with regard to safety and desired pacing/intensity. I hope I achieved the same. I chatted for a while afterward with my blue-belt partner about feedback, positions and ideas, and upcoming competitions. Michelle gave me a tour of the facility before I left and described their plans for a big expansion in July. I'm excited to come back for more open mats and the occasional class, and to see the expanded mat space and striking area!”

“Great gym, great atmosphere, great training partners, and ran by great people. I’ve known Chris and Michelle for over 10 years. They are both very attentive and detail orientated. The gym is very welcoming by both the owners and fellow members. This is an excellent place to get in great shape, have a lot of fun, and learn something new.”
