Solarte BJJ

“Fantastic school for learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Their concept based approach is a great way to learn. They are very welcoming and inviting to visitors. Highly recommend if you want to do Jiu-Jitsu in the Sequim area to check this place out!”

“Jen is an awesome instructor. The studio is well maintained and clean. And it is pretty easy to find. When I started training with her I had never done any grappling or martial arts before. She helped me feel comfortable and she lets me work at a pace that is good for me, just enough to be challenging, but not so much that it is overwhelming. Her style of teaching is great for people of all sizes and body types. Even small women (like Jen) can find empowerment in learning from Jen. I leave each class with a few new techniques, a smile on my face and a good workout finished! My kids also attend her children's class. With the kids she turns her lessons into games. So they are having fun, getting a workout and learning how to move and place their bodies for best effect. Both myself and my kids strongly recommend Jen and Solarte BJJ.”

“I strongly recommend Solarte to anyone in the Sequim / Port Angeles area! It is worth the drive. From kids to adult competition, Jenn is a great coach. During class you'll feel how thoughtful she is with communication and technique. Jenn takes her craft seriously and provides a fun environment. I'd feel safe to send my kids, sister, or parents to Solarte. Everyone at Solarte was incredibly welcoming. I travel for work and this is my 5th gym and my absolute favorite! I learned more here than the other gyms combined. As a working professional, some gyms do not do a great job to limit risk of becoming injured, Solarte is a gym that anyone can safely train at and become better at BJJ for any level: competition, self defense, or just plain fun. Try it for a week, I promise you won't regret it!”

“Coach Jenn has an incredible talent for breaking down ideas/techniques in a simple and easy way for students of all levels. She’s good-natured but also pushes you hard to do your very best. It’s clear that she is a devoted student of the martial arts and that comes through in her teaching methods. Coach Jenn is a very skilled BJJ practitioner and I would not hesitate to recommend her as an instructor no matter your fitness level or training and competition goals!”

“Jen is a great teacher for both children and adults. In my forty years of martial arts I have never found a more knowledgeable and dedicated instructor to her art and her students. I would recommend it for anybody of all ages and ability. I've never seen anybody better working with students.”
