The Trench Jiu-Jitsu

“If you're looking for an amazing place in Tacoma to train i Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, this is it. Professor David is an excellent, skilled instructor and the people who train at the Trench are great people.”

“Great gym! My daughter loves coming to class and learning from Professor David and the other coaches. Everyone makes you feel so welcomed especially for a beginner. When I am brave enough I hope to join the Women’s class with Professor Sherry.”

“Great new academy. Clean, well-run with respectful teaching staff. Professor David is a friendly and patient instructor with many years of experience under his black belt. He is great with kids and adults alike. Can't beat the Trench if you're looking for a place to train in NE Tacoma or Federal Way.”

“Professor David is a beautiful human being. He brings more to the mats than just bjj. His core values in life is inspiring and contagious. Kids program is second to none.”

“Professor David is a one of a kind. He is the kind of coach and mentor that truly inspires. It's hard to describe. I did the mall jiu jitsu place for about 6 months in florida a couple years ago, and that was okay, but The Trench has been a true blessing in our family's life. The Gracie-Barra affiliation makes the curriculum unique, with a good mix of self-defense and sport bjj. This is great for people that want to learn how to protect themselves and others. I highly recommend.”
