Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sammamish

“Starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu again after turning 40 felt like a daunting challenge. I was worried about injuries and honestly thought I might be “too old” to step back on the mats. But from the moment I walked into Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sammamish, those fears melted away. The trainers and members are simply phenomenal—so welcoming, patient, and encouraging. They create an environment where everyone, regardless of age or experience, feels supported and safe to learn and grow. What really stands out is the sense of community here. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to help you improve while emphasizing safety and injury prevention. I’ve not only learned a ton but also gained confidence in my abilities. I also brought my two daughters, and they absolutely loved it! The kids’ program is fantastic—it’s fun, engaging, and teaches discipline and self-confidence. It’s clear the team at Renzo Gracie truly cares about building a community! Another huge bonus is the access to the Snoqualmie location, which adds flexibility to my training schedule. Whether you’re brand new to Jiu Jitsu, returning after a break, or looking for a great activity for your kids, this gym is an amazing place to train. I can’t recommend it enough!”

“Very excited to see RGA opening a location in Sammamish. I worked out at Snoqualmie location for past 3 years together with two of my kids. The new facility has 3 different experienced professors (black belts) offering instructions: John, Ben and Casey. They have plenty of coaching experience including many students winning local tournaments and participating in world level competitions. The gym offers great program for the kids who need to work on confidence, fitness and self-defense skills. There is a lot of space for parent to sit and observe the instructions, and adjacent plaza offers opportunities to get chores done or simply grab coffee. Facility has need renovated just before October 2024 opening and offers bathrooms with showers and lockers. For weight section contact professor John and coach Silver. Brazilian Jiu jitsu is the best thing you can do for the health and development of your kids and yourself, and I am glad it is now offered in Sammamish, WA. Come join us on the mats.”

“Renzo Gracie Sammamish offers some of the best self defense and BJJ programs out there! The instructors are great and the community they created is wonderful. Great way to meet new friends, stay in shape, and learn new skills. The facility is really nice compared to other gyms and it also includes a locker room and showers. Best part is with the membership you can also train at the Snoqualmie location which helps if you need more training options depending on your schedule. Please check them out!”

“Beautiful facility with exceptional instructors who focus on the individual needs of students. I have trained Jiu Jitsu for nearly 2 decades and this space is 1 of the nicest I have had the pleasure of visiting. It is a family environment with focus on fundamental Jiu Jitsu through advanced skills.”

“WOW. I cannot say enough about this jiu-jitsu school. Their Professors/Instructors are welcoming and knowledgeable. Their members are friendly and fun.
