Identity Jiu-Jitsu

“I checked out about 5 other gyms in the area before I came here. This gym teaches both gi and no gi and the no gi classes follow an ecological dynamics approach. Great instruction from all the coaches. But most importantly the gym puts effort into making a great community. The teammates are very skilled and everyone is very friendly. Best gym I have ever trained at!”

“I was referred by a friend and tried the free trials at Identity Jiu-Jitsu. Started with the beginner program and found the coaches to be helpful and patient. The community is welcoming, and the nogi class, though intimidating at first, turned out to be fun, especially with their ecological class design. The coaches are always looking to improve the class experience. Great gym overall!”

“This is the only cool place in Seattle. The only third space where you build a real community. At the intersection of the major transit lines- the Link and the street car. They transformed me from zero skill into someone who walks freely through downtown at night. Diverse and welcoming. No egos. They don’t hand out promotions easily which is how you know it’s legit. I left Seattle but swing by when I visit because it’s so good.”

“I have never played a combat sport in my entire life and now I am almost a year in this gym. I don't pay for any subscription except this one lol. The people are just sooo nice and kind. They want the best for your growth and teach you how to find your style and what works the best for you. They consistently seek feedback to improve your experience. There are always community events that you get to know each other better. It feels both a place for growth and nourishment, both physically and mentally. If anyone gives it a try, please come say hi to me! I am there 3 nights a week usually. :)”

“Probably a good gym, but they need to update their schedule. Showed up for 5pm Sunday open mat, which is on the schedule, and they were closed.”
