Khader Abounasr
"Wow! What an amazing academy! Professor Rodrigo is an incredible instructor and very detail oriented. Great, clean space, great students and overall an excellent atmosphere. I dropped in during my visit to Seattle for a conference and felt very welcomed. Honestly one of the best Gracie Barra’s I’ve visited."

"This is a great place for someone who is curious about BJJ and wants to learn. I came here with zero experience at 40 years old looking for something physical to keep in shape and keep my mind working. I’m always learning and have positive encouragement from my peers and the professors. A real family vibe it is always a good feeling walking in the gym over four years later still loving it more and more everyday. There is also many schools around the US where you are always welcomed and encouraged to train A++++"
Eddie Sargent
"Came in town to visit and had an amazing time. Amazing instructors and students who are very welcoming. This gym is ideal to train at for anyone whether they are a competitor or someone who wants to get in shape. Thank you Professor Rodrigo for welcoming me and I hope to train with you guys again!"
Casey
"I’ve been training at Gracie Barra Seattle for over 20 years. Professor Rodrigo and his students have the best training and culture within the Academy in the northwest area. I received my black belt from Rodrigo in 2010, and every time I train at Gracie Barra Seattle I learn something new."
