Anna Kolarsky
"Top notch experience. I have only been training BJJ a few months. I was looking for a place to drop in when I visit family in Spokane. This place was recommended to me as the best in town and I can see why; the instructors are easy to understand and very detailed, clean environment, and all the instructors and students are encouraging and welcoming! Thanks James for letting me swing by. Excited to come back next time I’m in town."

"Newborn Cascao is the best Brazillian Jiu Jitsu gym, near Downtown Spokane along side our sister gym, Infiniti Cascao in North Spokane, the best Brazillian Jiu Jitsu gym on the North side of Spokane! This school is amazing, wonderful coaches. They teach heart in class & outside of class. They push their students to acheive greatness. This sport builds confidence, discipline, every person here shows an unrenowned kindness. It feels like you are apart of a family, the coaches & peers care for your well being, & the hangouts at The Wave or pool parties, bbq's, competitions, travelling, it's all amazing & with an outstanding group of people. Thank you James & Sarah for owning this gym!"

"At Newborn you will find a great teacher in James Weed, he not only is knowledgeable but has created a culture of iron sharpening iron. I am incredibly thankful for the welcome we received as my family started practicing at Newborn. My boys love James and Sarah. I would highly recommend you to come check out Newborn if you have a desire to start BJJ!"

"I came in to the morning class to ask about their policy regarding drop-ins, I spoke with James and was immediately impressed. The class size, gym cleanliness, mats, all of it was legit. In speaking with James, he asked great qualifying questions regarding my experience and intent. I am preparing for a regional tournament back home in a few weeks and traveled to Washington for work. James and the entire staff were very accommodating. I came back to the 6:30pm GI class and received great instruction, great drills, and had the opportunity to roll 4 rounds with top notch talent. I would highly recommend Newborn Cascao to anyone in the area who is interested in training. Thank you for your hospitality!"
