Ballard Jiu Jitsu 4501 Shilshole Avenue Northwest, Seattle, WA 98107

"My kids and I love it here! We've been coming for a little over half a year, and love the safe and family friendly community. There are a fantastic group of purple and black belt instructors, who are welcoming to all levels and abilities. It's awesome they scheduled kid classes, and then adult classes right afterwards so the whole family can join. In addition to the kids classes, BJJ hosts regular womens-only, LGBTQ+, and those with injuries classes. I'm glad I found this community!"

"This place is amazing. I started training here a year ago and everyone from the instructors to the students were warm and welcoming. Its special to find a community like this where you feel encouraged to get better. I've had to take time off recently but have been itching to get back. If you ever thought about taking a BJJ class, this is the best place to start."

"I recently started Jiu Jitsu at Ballard BJJ and it has been a wonderful experience. The facility is nice and very clean. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and have created an incredibly inclusive and friendly environment. I highly suggest giving Ballard Jiu Jitsu a look."

"Amazing gym. I have been a part of a few different types of martial arts gyms, and this is by far the best I have experienced. The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and fantastic at breaking down complex topics. Whether you are looking to train for a comp, or just start learning, this is the perfect place to join. They truly embrace the “all are welcome” mindset, and actually take steps to make everyone feel welcome. Can’t recommend highly enough!"
