From the reviews
I cannot say enough great things about Siri Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Kennewick. I have trained here for over 7 years and whether you are completely new to martial arts or have years of experience, this academy provides one of the best training environments you could possibly ask for.
SIRI Brazilian Jujitsu is by far the best place to train in the PNW! Professor Gustavo is one of the most genuine and caring people I've ever met in the Martial Arts world. I came from a traditional Muay Thai background and knew very little about Jujitsu.
I have especially enjoyed the all-women's class on Saturday mornings. Siri provides a safe, encouraging, and welcoming space for women, which is important, because Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is still overall a martial art in which women are a minority.
This is definitely the Go To academy for BJJ instruction in the tri-cities region. There is a reason it is by far the largest school here. It is packed with people who appreciate and value not only the world class instruction received by Professor Gustavo, but most importantly, by the “Family-on-the-Mat”, supportive…
New to BJJ? Start at Siri Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
Siri Brazilian Jiu-jitsu 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 Siri Brazilian 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.
