What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Stephanie Ellis
"Highly recommend the 5-week self defense series with JT. I learned so much and have a newfound sense of awareness and power. JT is absolutely the most wonderful man and teacher. Along with assistance from others, he made everything approachable, fun, professional, and memorable. Really appreciate the generous make up policy; when I missed a class, I was able to go in during the weekday “office hours” and basically get an individual lesson from Jeff (the owner) and Jesse, one of the awesome instructors. Definitely sign up if you want to learn some basics about keeping yourself safe from evil doers, or even just want to feel a little more assertive and aware in your body. Thanks, you all!"
Brian Haskell
"I travel a good bit on business. The first thing I do in every new area is find a gym that accepts drop-ins. What a gem l found in Bellingham BJJ. Wonderful folks . . . Wonderful training. Expert instructors. If you are visiting the area or looking for a home gym, you can do no better! I wish there were more stars to give."
Eli Wasserman
"We had a great experience with Bellingham BJJ. My 6 year old son was visiting his grandparents from out of town for 2 weeks and joined for several drop in classes. The owner Jeff and all of the coaches at Bellingham BJJ were super welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. My son had a great time and really enjoyed it - they do an awesome job making it fun and engaging for the kids! Will definitely return any time we are back visiting the area."

"Considering self-defense or martial arts training? This is the place! As an anxiety-ridden noob to sports, ive had a great experience in this gym. The instructors here are warm, welcoming, encouraging, and encourage fun and safety! Very supportive learning environment, folks are happy to help and see you train. Planted, sprouted, and grew here for 6 months, have traveled and dropped-in to a handful of classes across the US. One thing has been noted as an observation each time - the fundamentals are strong. And thats the start of good, technical jiu jitsu! Proud to say i started my jiu jitsu journey with bellingham bjj!"
