Redmond Grappling Academy - BJJ - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

"This gym has literally changed my son’s life. With amazing coaching and an atmosphere to thrive he has gained confidence he has never had before. He has lost weight, gained strength and made some pretty amazing friends. If you are interested in learning a new skill or continuing to grow in a welcoming environment that teaches and demands respect to all, I highly recommend RDGA."

"What started as a desire to instill confidence, mental toughness and self defense skills in our daughter has evolved into something so much more than we ever imagined. We enrolled Gracie at Redmond Grappling Academy with the hope that she’d gain the grit it takes to tackle life’s hard things, because as we know, life isn’t always easy. But what we found at RDGA was not only a place where resilience is built, but a community where our daughter has truly come into her own. She’s confident, feels STRONG and is in a space where she is reminded of the values we are teaching at home of respect and care for others. Gracie may be small, but she is mighty. Since starting her journey in jiu-jitsu, her confidence has soared. In a sport that’s still largely male-dominated, she shows up every week, trains hard, and thrives, proving not just to others but to herself that her size or gender will never define her limits. She’s learning lessons far beyond the mat. With commitment, courage, and consistency, she can do anything she sets her mind to. An unexpected and treasured bonus has been the sense of family we’ve found within those gym walls. The Rasmussen family pours their heart into every single child who walks through those doors. Their dedication, care, and belief in each athlete is unmatched. We absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend Redmond Grappling Academy! As they end every practice… 3…2…1… GRIND."

"I cannot say enough great things about RDGA. Juan has done a fantastic job of creating a space that is not only full of talent and skill, but is also incredibly welcoming. It's hard to find places where newcomers feel included and valued, but RDGA has done just that. I highly recommend that anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu (adult or child) check them out!"

"This place was great. I dropped into a class as a visitor from Nashville, also as someone very new to the sport. The team here was super welcoming and immediately made me feel like a member of the community even after meeting me only moments prior."
