Praxis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“I had an unprofessional and weird experience trying to start my BJJ journey here at Praxis. I visited the website and filled out a short form to view the schedule, followed by a longer form to register for a class. Shortly after, I received a message from Alex asking a question that I had already answered on the form, which led to some immediate confusion. He mentioned a required screening, but before we could go through any actual questions, he asked if I wanted my class canceled. Without waiting for my response, he canceled it within two minutes. I can’t speak to the overall culture or community here, but this was a very odd and discouraging way to welcome someone new to BJJ.”

“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.”
