Zoo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - West Seattle

“White belt: I took the time to try a couple gyms before I decided on Zoo. Bob has cultivated a friendly (and family friendly), welcoming atmosphere for people of all skill levels. I recommend Zoo BJJ to anyone interested in a training program for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Zoo BJJ in West Seattle! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the gym is. It’s clear that the owner takes great pride in creating an inviting environment for everyone. The standout, though, is the instructor and owner Bob. Their knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is absolutely top-notch. They take the time to break down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced practitioner. What I truly appreciated was their patience and personalized attention—they genuinely care about your growth and progress. It’s rare to find a place that combines professionalism, cleanliness, and such an encouraging atmosphere. If you’re looking for a BJJ gym in West Seattle, I wholeheartedly recommend Zoo BJJ!”

“Our 7 year old son loves going to Zoo BJJ. I, as a parent, love the fact that my son is learning discipline, agility and gaining a lifelong skill that will give him confidence. Bob (owner and coach) is patient and kind with kids. I cannot reccomend this Jiu Jitsu gym enough.”

“Was in town for work and Bob and Chris welcomes me into the gym to train. Everybody was super nice and welcoming. The class had white belts up to brown (not including the coach who was a belt belt) so it was a diverse skillset. We did drilling, positional rolls, and rolling. I had a great time and would love to come back next time I'm in town.”

“I brought my shy son to Zoo BJJ a year ago and I’m so glad I did. This class has brought out his confidence and I’ve seen such positive changes in him. Bob is an amazing instructor, he is calm, fun, and has a great way of keeping the students focused and in check.”
