From the reviews
My 3 kids have been a part of this gym for over 5 years and the transformation and confidence has been palpable. Despite what some recent reviews claim, the fact of the matter is the owner of this gym is dedicated to empowering our kids and challenging them mentally AND physically.
Contrary to a certain negative review, Electric North is a warm, welcoming gym. I started a month ago and was so nervous when I got there. Upon arrival, there were 2 wonderful and kind women waiting for me (they knew I was coming and were prepared to meet me).
This is an awesome place to train and better yourself. The jiu jitsu here is top notch and comes from a very impressive and skilled lineage. Everybody here is very welcoming and humble while also not being afraid to push you past what you might have thought were your limits.
Best place to train the state of Washington . If you don’t train here, you are wrong and a nogo at this station. Amazing group, atmosphere and gym culture. Professor Greg has an amazing skill of instruction and band of killers on the mat. Will recommend everyday of the week
New to BJJ? Start at Electric North Jiu Jitsu
Electric North Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Electric North Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
