From the reviews
My kids go to Island Jiu Jitsu WA and we’ve had a really good experience so far. I actually came across them through the Arlington Boys and Girls Club when I was looking for jiu jitsu for kids near me, and it ended up being a great fit. The coaches are really good with the kids!
I can’t say enough good things about our experience with this Jiu Jitsu class. My son started when he was 5 and has just turned 6, and these past 6 months have been truly transformative for him. The coaches are outstanding.
Your first BJJ class at Island Jiu Jitsu Washington
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.
