Gracie Barra Kirkland

“A great place to train regardless of skill level! Josh is a very high quality instructor and competitor, one of the most accomplished in the northwest. The gym has a very friendly and welcoming environment where everyone just wants to help each other improve.”

“I have been training here for about a year and a half, having never done jiu jitsu before. This gym has amazing instruction and community. They also do a great job keeping the gym and mats clean which I appreciate. Professors Josh and Solange do a great job, from teaching classes to running in-house tournaments to hone our competition skills. Professors Garrick and others in the morning are very friendly and inviting, providing a great way to start your day. I would highly recommend anyone interested take the plunge and start here!”

“I have been bringing my son here for about 8 months. It was definitely an adjustment for him. But he has thrived in so many ways. The coaches are great. Professor Josh has been so patient with my son and is such a great teacher. There's also a women's class on Friday nights ran by Professor Solange that I have tried and really enjoyed and hope to continue. It's really a great community and I look forward to continue coming here!”

“My kids and I have been going here for 2+ years and couldn't speak more highly of it. They have patient, dedicated staff who find a way to effectively teach and mentor nearly every type of person and learning style. Further, they have done a fantastic job creating a welcoming community amongst the members. I would recommend this studio to anyone interested in BJJ, martial arts, fitness, or a way to force yourself out of your comfort zone and achieve personal growth.”

“Josh is a wizard at BJJ and they have a real cute dog there sometimes. The kickboxing class is both intense and very welcoming for beginners (like myself) Pretty much my favorite place to be”
