Rugged Combat Sports & MMA (Fabiano Scherner Brazilian Jiu Jitsu)

"First let me say that this gym has the best family vibe you can ask for. One thing MMA or BJJ gyms tend to do as they expand is people tend to be a number instead of a human. I came into Rugged gym feeling like more then a number from day one. I am really overweight and out of shape but that doesn't matter here. I have actually found myself excited to go get pushed around a little simply because the instructors are amazing. Great place for all. Shapes, sizes and ages."

"My son joined Rugged at the beginning of January 2021 to keep him active during Covid. Coach Pete and Coach Stelly are awesome! Their principles for their young team are to be respectful, work hard in school, listen to mom and dad (their mantra at the end of every practice). Their gym has an atmosphere of hard work, discipline and family. They make it clear that the skills learned in their gym are not to be used for bullying but for self defense. Students learn to help each other get better at the skills they are learning. I highly recommend Rugged in Spanaway to anyone interested in signing their children or themselves up for MMA/ kickboxing or jujutsu."

"My experience at Rugged Combat Sports continues to be exceptional in every way. The staff's passion and professionalism create a welcoming environment from the moment I step in. The well-maintained facility offers top-notch gear and personalized training, catering to all skill levels. The sense of community among members is incredible, fostering ongoing support and friendship. Classes led by expert instructors are both challenging and enjoyable, consistently boosting my skills and confidence. With its flexible scheduling and pricing options, Rugged Combat Sports is as a premier destination for anyone seeking fitness, growth, and a strong community."

"One of the best places I could take all three of my kids to! The kids and I enjoyed the family-oriented atmosphere and positive energy! I also appreciated the freedom to take the kids to multiple classes for them to try instead of being limited to one form of martial arts. Even though the kids rarely missed their classes, it was nice to have zero pressure if we were busy with other activities and to not be judged for it. They’re military friendly as well and didn’t pressure us into long-term contracts. So nice to be month-to-month. Rugged has taught my kids excellent values and discipline, which to me is more important than the physical aspect of martial arts. Huge thanks to Rugged!"

"Awesome, family oriented MMA (Boxing, Kickboxing/Muay Thai, BJJ) gym! All I can say is I absolutely love this place! The schedule is put together very well, making it easy to find classes that fit within your schedule. The coaches, Pete and Stelly are phenomenal instructors, and can take you from beginner to intermediate and beyond, in whatever disciplines you choose to pursue, in no time at all! And the price for this area, just can’t be beat! You pay one fee to attend as many classes as you can fit into your week! If you’re looking for a professional, family friendly gym, that can cater to all types/levels of students (whether you want to compete, or just train), then look no further! Oh! They’re also upgrading their weight/functional fitness room right now as well, so it’s an all around one-stop-shop if you’re looking to get in great shape!"
