From the reviews
We started our 6 year old here last month and have loved seeing him grow in respect, discipline, and confidence. Every instructor impresses us with how they manage their classes and provide structure, instruction, and discipline. 1 month in and we already see so many benefits!
I cannot say enough good things about this place. My son has been wanting to get into some type of martial arts and I found this place to try for a free class. Right away the kids made him feel welcomed, the instructors are phenomenal. The flexibility with the classes are a huge bonus.
My son absolutely loves this gym! The coaches are fantastic – patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the kids’ growth. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, which makes it such a welcoming space. It’s the perfect balance of learning, discipline, and fun.
💯 recommend this place. My 5 year old started his Jiu jitsu here. Coach Elizabeth was incredible. She is very respectful and patient with kids. If you are looking to start your BJJ journey, this place will not disappoint you. Coach Charlotte was very nice. Her and coach Elizabeth are both welcoming!
New to BJJ? Start at Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Spokane Valley
Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Spokane Valley 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 Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Spokane Valley
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.
