"John and Shalise did an amazing job on the remodel of their new gym! With John's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience, you, your kids, your spouse, or your friends will be in good hands! Congrats on the opening of the new gym guys!"
Victoria Wirtz
"John & Shalise are amazing jiu-jitsu instructors. They are both on the mats with all the classes and very patient and knowledgeable. They are so great with the kids, and we love the community they have created. Highly recommend and hands down the best experience."
Jason Verhoff
"I’m so excited to see this gym opening in Bonney Lake! I went to a recent open mat and was super impressed with what they've accomplished here. It has a very clean and modern style, the bathroom is top notch, and the enclosed changing rooms are a nice touch. I’d highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area looking to train jiu jitsu in a professional, family-friendly environment! Whether you're just starting out or have been training for years, I have no doubt you’ll be comfortable here!"
Bethany Overland Jack
"Highly recommended Plateau Jiu-Jitsu owner/blackbelt John Proud is an excellent instructor. His teaching method is smooth, patient, and easily adjusted, which makes him a great teacher for the advanced practitioner — as well as the jiu-jitsu novice. It is a certain gift to effectively work with children. The kids always look forward to rolling with John, and parents can be confident in his focus on safety. Sad loss for Enumclaw but great news for Bonney Lake!"
