This is a great jiujitsu and mma gym. Everyone is quite friendly, with a very large amount of skill here to learn from. Whether youre a complete beginner looking for a place to begin your journey or an experienced veteran who wants to expand ones knowledge, this is the place for you.

My 5 year old has been going here and he absolutely LOVES IT. . the instructions he gets from Eric Loar and Dip Thapa is great! They are patient and treat the kids great and keep it fun for them while they learn. Ill definitely be keeping my son here and having his little brother join him when he is old enough.

World class coaching and training for all shapes, sizes, ages, and peoples.

For quarantiners, I highly recommend JIU JITSU FITNESS as a starting point for getting back into it. K.Cs class focuses on cardio, Corys on drilling, and Dusty does deep stretching (really great for soreness).You get a taped boundary to yourself and all wear masks when you are not isolated in your square. Although, I do recommend coming dressed in your gear so you can avoid the locker rooms (a much smaller space).

This is the place you want to train at. People take jiujitsu seriously here but still have tons of fun. Super clean place to train, with friendly staff. Deep knowledge of jiu-jitsu and mma at this gym. You know this is the place to be when your instructors never stop training.

Does anyone who does not speak English accept?

I had the pleasure of training at Impact off and on for a couple of years around 2009-2011. Michael Chapman is an incredibly genuine and good instructor and has years of experience in numerous martial arts. The other instructors are also all top notch as well.Most importantly, the vibe at Impact is both competitive but incredibly nice. Everyone there is always open for conversation and always seemed to have a smile on their face. It was a great place to train, and I cant wait to stop back in one day.

The coaches here are fantastic, the members are great training partners, highly skilled and willing to help you improve your game. The coaches foster a fun, collaborative environment where everyone works hard to help each other get better. Its rare to find a place to roll with so much talent but so few egos.

Ive been to over a dozen gyms over the last several years. This is hands down my favorite gym. This is a community that has something for everyone. If youre looking to gain a competitive advantage or if youre looking for a family friendly environment, you can find it here.

The coaching is very in-depth and practical. With a handful of black belts, Impact has a very, very high concentration of grappling knowledge. The atmosphere is my favorite, though. Very friendly and open to everyone. You dont have to be a superstar to spend time at the gym. The people are laid back and a lot of fun to be around. Ive been training with Impact for a year and a half now, and I love it!

Great place for Jiujitsu, MMA, and fitness

Really good for all ages. They have classes for kids, teenagers and adults. The reason I chose this place is because of their great classes for adults. They have beginner classes and more experienced classes. I enjoy it because the staff is great and the people that go here are really welcoming and freindly.

The best BJJ academy in the Portland metropolitan area.

Great group of Martial Artists. Came from So. Cal from a different dojo and was very impressed with the level of talent here. My whole family is signed up now. The couches are great with kids too.

Im new to BJJ. Impact JJ was my first drop-in. I called ahead and spoke with Bliss. Phone calls are the initial outreach and Bliss was friendly and helpful (thats what I want to hear on the phone, so, well done).I was greeted by friendly folks when I walked in the door one of whom was Bliss. Drop-in fees $ exchanged and waiver signed, Bliss gave me tour relevant tour of the facility (locker room and where my beginner class would be held).---now I have to talk about hygiene awareness---This Gym doesnt allow street shoes beyond a certain point and NO BARE FEET IN BATHROOMS or showers (slippers/flip-flops provided). BRAVO!!The level of instruction during warm-ups was great, my gym doesnt typically do warm-ups so it was fun and interesting to be learning so much so soon. All warm-ups were based on developing BJJ muscles or flexibility.Instruction was great! Coach Dustin(?) took a lot of time to help me (and others) learn the techniques. the students that I worked with were friendly and knowledgeable. I felt safe at all times, and I learned a great deal from my time on the mats with this gym.I have to mention at this point that EVERYONE(!!!!!!!!) that I worked with or interacted with (desk or mats) was gracious and friendly. I enjoyed my drop-in experience so much that I bought their school t-shirt and Im proud to represent their school because my experience was that good. (N=1)

I had the pleasure of stopping into Impact on my way down to LA with the wife. Everyone at the club was friendly and welcoming. On top of that the technical prowess, and open atmosphere makes for great training. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great place to train BJJ check this place out.

Its hard to find a gym with this caliber of instruction and camaraderie. Its just a great culture and environment over here and that seems to be the hard part to duplicate. A lot of expertise in jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts under these roofs.

If you Live on the west side and enjoy grappling, this is the best place to call home.

Impact was my home gym for nearly 5 years, and it was not until I had to move that it became clear how outstanding the gym really is. Tracy and Michael Chapman have created a deep and diverse family of mixed martial artists and jiu jitsu players. The morning classes with Rodney were a comfortable and casual atmosphere for learning. Noon classes and Saturdays with Armand were technical mastery. Kickboxing with Nuro and Shawn provided a solid foundation in striking. I highly recommend the Impact gyms to beginners and the proficient alike.

I love this place! It has me coming in five days a week! 😊

So I went to Impact Jiu Jitsu on 7/6/2012 at 6pm to attend the boxing class. The Gym is ok as far as gyms go. The instructor is this young 25ish guy who starts the class in his pajama bottoms and a t shirt? We have a few instructions about bag work and various drills and we are off. The class progresses in a pretty smooth way to music mostly inappropriate to work out to (slow beat and such) and half way through class we start sparring. This big guy walks back to where the class is being conducted and says nothing but just sits in the back of the room and watches like some kind of lurker or something. The sparring is the worst Ive ever experienced besides perhaps you and a few buddies putting on gloves and going at it, which coincidentally, this basically was. The instructor sparred a couple of rounds and when I say sparred I mean he fought with his hands down basically showing off his superior skill in a macho guy kinda way. When I was up he toyed with me like the other four guys of less skill and experience and ended me the way 2 others had ended their sessions with a leaking nose. If I learned one this its I need more training from a Real instructor who cares about his students and not his foolish pride.

Many great instructors, great environment. Cant get enough of this place.

Why arent there any recent reviews? Kind of fishy...
