From the reviews
Absolutely love this school. I've been training here for 2 years and my only regret is that I didn't start sooner - highly technical gi and no-gi instruction - inclusive, friendly, warm community - great place for women and non-binary students - large upper-belt population raising everyone's level - super clean!
Frameworks BJJ Seattle is an amazing-welcoming environment. The instruction is excellent & systematic. The new location is spacious & always clean (although I do miss the boathouse vibes on Lake Union sometimes). I am a Nomad Blue Belt who always feels welcome training here on a punch pass.
Dropped in for a few days while visiting Seattle and had a fantastic experience at Framework. Jacob runs a great class and his teaching style is super modern, with a focus on finding BJJ that works for you and your body type.
I can’t say enough good things about Framework. It’s a very beginner-friendly gym to begin your BJJ training. Jacob and the other professors are extremely welcoming and help make new students feel like the most important person in the room. The lesson plans are very well thought out.
New to BJJ? Start at Framework BJJ Seattle
Framework BJJ Seattle comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Framework BJJ Seattle
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.
