T3MA of Redmond

“Joined about 6 months ago, new to pure BJJ. It’s a great gym and sport. There are a lot of class times making it easy to work into my schedule. Everyone is really friendly and great at helping teach skills.”

“My husband and I have been practicing BJJ for years and have experience going to gyms in Los Angeles and Pennsylvania. We moved to WA a few months ago and went searching for a gym right away for ourselves and our 4.5 yr old son. We did trial classes at different gyms. Out of all the gyms we have been to, T3MA Redmond has the most organized and educational kids class. We also love the adult class and the atmosphere is very safe and professional.”

“I started my brazilian Jiu jitsu journey here and still love it so much. The team is like a family. The Professors are so patient, kind and give high level instruction on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu technique. It is appropriate for families, hobbiests and competitors.”

“I trained at T3MA for about 13 months. Overall, the gym itself offers solid instruction and facilities, but my experience was mixed, depending on the instructor. Evening Classes with Coach Endo: These classes were consistently enjoyable. Endo is incredibly patient, respectful, and helpful with all his students. He goes out of his way to answer questions and ensures his students feel supported. I highly recommend attending his classes—he’s a fantastic coach and role model. Morning Classes with Priscilla: Unfortunately, my experience here was very different. Over the course of several months, I noticed repeated instances of unprofessional and disrespectful behavior—not just toward me but also toward other students. She appeared to lose patience quickly, showed favoritism, and would sometimes belittle or harshly criticize students, regardless of belt level. This created a tense and unwelcoming environment. Two specific incidents stand out: 1. I was elbowed in the face during a roll and clearly dazed, but was told to “keep going” and that it “wasn’t a big deal.” 2. More seriously, I suffered a shoulder dislocation during sparring and required months of physical therapy. Despite the visible pain and injury, I was publicly insulted and mocked in front of the class. I later filed a complaint, which was acknowledged, but the situation left a lasting impression on my view of her classes. This review isn’t meant to attack anyone personally, but to express a pattern of behavior I—and others I’ve spoken to—experienced firsthand. I stayed silent for a long time out of respect and fear of repercussions, but now that I’ve moved on to another gym, I feel it’s important to share. Again, I want to emphasize: T3MA is a good gym overall, and I had a positive experience with Coach Endo and several others. But based on what I went through, I do not recommend taking Priscilla’s classes. I hope the gym continues to grow and maintains an environment that supports and uplifts all its students equally.”

“This is a great place for kids and adults to train. The head coach, professor Miriam is kind, motivating, and safety focused, and she has gathered coaches with a similar training philosophy. Both my daughters have trained here for over five years and benefited greatly from the training in friends made, goals accomplished, and confidence gained.”
