From the reviews

Extremely welcoming with some very good students. There was alot of emphasis from the students on helping teach each other drills and sequences during sparring sessions. I like that because it allowed me to really learn while I was there for 2 weeks.

Two of our kiddos go to Kids BJJ here. The coaches have been exceptionally patient with them as they learn BJJ. One of our kiddos is a little more nervous than the other and the patience and understanding as he learns the art of BJJ by the coaches has been outstanding.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Sep 2023

I've been training here for a few months now and have to say this place is amazing. Lessons are taught in a sequential manner and Coach Chris and Lindsi do a great job at filling in the gaps should you have questions. Simply put Burien BJJ is a safe, clean, and supportive school.

★★★★★ — Paul, Sep 2022

Rebellion Jiu-Jitsu has been amazing for the whole family. Both my kids (son & daughter) are in the jiu-jitsu classes and are thriving! They enjoy the classes and most especially love their coaches!!

Your first BJJ class at Rebellion 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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
