Mat Chess Mixed Martial Arts

"I came into town for a business trip, and the owner welcomed me into his gym. I showed up for morning class and everyone was welcoming and respectful. There was no ego and I felt like I had been training there for months. The instructor provided the perfect amount of detail and was open to answering questions even though I was dropping in. The gym was very clean, and the atmosphere was perfect. I can't thank them enough. I'll definitely be back on future trips!"

"Amazing experience! I am visiting from Chicago and was able to drop in for the evening nogi class with a friend who trains here. The head instructor, Andrew, was very kind and welcoming and taught a great class to boot. The room was full of great grapplers and everybody was very friendly! I was completely exhausted by the end of the rolls and left satisfied. 10/10 would train here again, thanks for having me!"

"Andrew and the team are incredible instructors. Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The jujitsu class is full of skilled and friendly faces eager to teach as well as the striking classes. One of the best gyms in Seattle."

"I've been to their weekend open mats twice now and this place is absolutely amazing. Andrew and everyone at this gym are super welcoming. The rolls are always super tough and technical. Andrew also gave me some really great technical advice after our roll and I can't wait to implement that in my game! I'll be back here for sure."

"I highly recommend training at Mat Chess if you are anywhere near the area! I joined for the Jiu Jitsu class and the instruction by Andrew was very in depth and thought out. The athletes were very friendly and welcoming with drilling/rolls. The facility was large and clean, a solid gym."
