Kenzodin Jiu Jitsu

"I'm a purple belt who's trained at 5 BJJ gyms in the past 10 years, and Kenzodin is the best experience I've had. I see myself training under Coach James for a long time. Coach James is incredibly knowledgeable and takes care to guide each of his students to become better version of themselves every day. The instruction at Kenzodin is top notch, and considers input and goals of the students in every session. Many gyms recycling stale and cookie-cutter curriculum, but Kenzodin keeps the training fresh and relevant to each student while still emphasizing strong fundamentals. I couldn't recommend this BJJ gym enough!"

"Certified Instructor and Professional Training Community As a K12 Educator, I've found immense value in the discipline and personal growth I've experienced at Kenzodin under Professor James's tutelage. His highly technical Approach and coaching abilities have not only improved my skills but also inspired me to push my limits. He has a unique way of breaking down techniques that are accessible for beginners and challenging for experienced students, fostering a sense of continuous growth. At Kenzodin, we believe in fostering a strong sense of community where everyone, regardless of their cultural background or skill set, is welcomed with open arms. Whether your focus is on fitness, self-defense, or personal development, Kenzodin provides a supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace, feeling included and accepted every step of the way. Also, on a side note, Professor James is fairly reasonable about making accommodations if you communicate with him. I am the weird guy in the gym who has a personal rule not to roll with people of the opposite sex. Since the day I communicated that with Professor James, he has been mindful to partner me up accordingly as much as he is able! In closing, if you're looking for a local BJJ gym with excellent instruction and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Kenzodin Jiu Jitsu of Auburn, Washington. It is a newer gym in terms of age with a smaller population. However, I know that it won't remain that way for long. So sign up while supplies last!"

"This gym is absolutely stellar. This is the first martial art I have ever taken part in but I felt immediately welcome. I have been attending for almost 3 months, 2 to 3 times a week and I look forward to every session. I have learned a lot and have full faith I will continue to do so with the help and guidance of coach James. The environment and culture of the gym is one of the best parts of this gym. I was intimidated to start, having never been part of a community in a gym or martial arts environment. But that intimidation was dispelled on the very first day due to the teaching and methods exhibited at the gym. Every day has been a continuation of that same great environment. If you have any interest in any martial art of any kind I strongly recommend this gym. Jujutsu was the perfect introduction into that world and I believe new or old hand, this gym will be a great place to attend . Wether it is for a good work out, a new hobby, or just good community. This gym has it all."
