From the reviews
Just finished a year training here and could not be happier with it. Was not sure what to expect when I walked through the doors for the first time. Everyone, staff and fellow students alike, immediately made me feel like part of the jiu jitsu family.
This is Snoqualmie's Hidden Gym 💎 As a practitioner of many styles of martial arts in my day (~30 yrs ish), I find myself incredibly grateful to train with this great group of human beings. Both Prof Casey and Prof Lindsay teach us a complete curriculum that's both rounded and challenging.
RGA is an ideal jiu jitsu gym centered around family and community. If you’re a parent who is interested in martial arts as a method to build confidence, skill and connection for your kids or self, this is your place. This isn’t to say that it is not a place for competitors, they’re here too!
Above and beyond what you can expect from a BJJ school. Professor Casey and Professor John, along with Coach Lindsay provide such a high level of instruction, with an extreme ability to do so with beginners and children eager to learn.
New to BJJ? Start at Renzo Gracie Snoqualmie
Renzo Gracie Snoqualmie 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 Renzo Gracie Snoqualmie
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.
