Gracie Barra Issaquah

May 21st, 2023

I've trained at quite a few places over the last 12 years and I believe this gym strikes the best balance I've seen in terms of professionalism vs a fun atmosphere, proper technique vs figuring out what works best for your game, promoting toughness and fighting hard vs emphasizing kindness and learning. These are hard things to get right. The leader of the gym is very skillful and the game he emphasizes are great for all body types and skill levels.

I tried a couple of different jiu jitsu studios and this is by far the best. Hands down. Professor Jason is incredible at teaching and it is a super positive environment. I can't recommend Gracie Barra Issaquah enough!

Professors Jason and Dynamo are top-notch and Coach Jarred and the others are obviously very committed to sharing (mostly competition oriented) BJJ with all ages and backgrounds; Coach Jarred's memory for names class after class is impressive. Jason has established a really good community on the mats that frequently crosses-over to off-mat life as well. Speaking of them, the mats are cleaned after each adult BJJ, boxing, or kick-boxing use; at least 2-3x daily. It would be great to see this gym grow into a larger space!
