From the reviews

I have been training here for 3 years now. The quality of the instructors is excellent. We have Trevor and Jason who both fought in the UFC as well as several other black belts who are all excellent teachers. The atmosphere is open and friendly. It is a fun and rewarding place to train.

★★★★★ — Michael, Oct 2020

Best jiu jitsu gym within 200 miles of Spokane. Great for professional fighters or BJJ competitors, yet also the beginner. Very welcoming for new people. Best adult AND kids jiu jitsu programs and much more! Can't recommend enough.

★★★★★ — That, Mar 2021

AKA has become a large part of our families routine. Both my husband and I train along with two of our children. The little kids class is a great place for the little ones to start. Our 4 yr old has been learning to respect his coaches and partners, actively listen, and use self control.

★★★★★ — Nichole, Sep 2024

My son and I began training at AKA in November. I was not looking forward to having to find a new BJJ gym but was in a position where I needed to find a better gym.

Your first BJJ class at TREVOR PRANGLEY'S AKA - 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.
