Seattle Jiu-Jitsu Academy

“EDIT 8/19/24: just dropped in again at the new location and it is awesome! Even more mat space and a cool location and aesthetic. Big fan of the upgrade and space. Nice job! Awesome time training with Dave and crew. Great vibes, legit instruction, and tough training. What more could you ask for?”

“Seattle Jiu-Jitsu Academy - I will always have lots to share of how positively I feel about this gym. So I’ll attempt to keep the review short! I am a female, no initial martial arts background, and I started (here) ~1.5 years ago. The class schedule provides room for lots of mat time. Saturday open mat is free to anyone. The training partners are great people and consist of many upper belts. Finally, the SJJA community is supportive, welcoming, hard working, and knowledgeable. If you’re new, looking to continue, for the hobbyist training, or interested in competitions - SJJA is that atmosphere! PS. You might get some sick action shots cause some of our members are very good 📸”

“Was in town for my birthday and stopped by seattle jiu jitsu, what an amazing studio. Everybody was welcoming, and the cosmic open mat was awsome. Definitely recommend stopping by this amazing jiu-jitsu studio.”

“I am in town for Coastguard duty and reached out to Dave the owner if it was possible to train. Without hesitation he welcomed me and I attended class which was easy to grasp and train with a great partner . Rounds at the end of the class allowed me to experience some amazing individuals that have great skills. Everyone was welcoming !! It’s a beautiful place train and and hard work put into creating it you can see as soon as you walk in. Defiantly reach out if you are in town to train !! It was a humbling experience and I am hoping to be back soon!! Thank you again!!”

“We have been so happy with our time at SJJA! They do an excellent job at coaching each child individually, meeting them where they are, while also maintaining strong group standards. Our son has learned so much in the 3 months he's been there, and we can see it positively impacting other areas of life. We love that the focus is on self-improvement, careful steady practice and respect for others, while learning Jujitsu.”
