Brought the kids in for a trial run today. I honestly wasn’t sure how much they’d enjoy it. I was relieved to see the kids receiving helpful instruction and guidance since they were a bit timid and unsure of what to do/expect. Best of all, the kids loved it! We’ll likely be signing up and continuing here.

Very great school for new beginners and experienced people. I have been training there since I started and I have not seen a better Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school anywhere.

Nothing but great things to say about GB Issaquah. Professor Jason is super knowledgeable and as technical as anyone. They have created a great learning environment as well. The more experienced students are always helpful while on the mat, a true testament to all of the instructors at GB Issaquah. Clean, great culture, and top level instruction.

Been training here for a few years when I can and I love coming in. The instructors are knowledgeable and approachable answering and clarifying throughout class. The other students who come in are good people as well. Its a really good culture here. Its an easy place to get plugged in or start from scratch.

Great gym, very clean and orderly. Professor Jason is very patient and knowledgeable and there are a variety of other students at various levels. The gym has a good vibe and also includes kickboxing. Because it is part of the Gracie Barra system all the other Gracie Barra gyms in King County can also be visited if you are a member.

Great atmosphere + amazing teaching. Ive tried several gyms in the area and this is by far my favorite. The coaches have built an environment where everyone has a really positive friendly attitude and it helps us all improve together. From day one, this has been the most fun and addictive way of getting in great shape and developing a new skill Ive ever found. The atmosphere makes me wake up excited to get to class. Professor Jason has a rare gift for clearly communicating and breaking down new techniques. Cant say enough good things about this gym.

100% recommend. Jason is a knowledgable and articulate instructor. Very easygoing atmosphere, but also competitive if that is desired.I was in town for a weekend and Jason welcomed me in to train with their class. Great experience and good time on the mats. Try Gracie Barra if you are in Issaquah!

Amazing gym that I highly recommend . Jason is a fantastic instructor and hes very attentive to every student in the room constantly polishing simple details specific to each person to help them improve. The warm ups are great, the techniques were effective and theres lots of mat space for after class rolling. Good music, friendly staff and a fun environment too.

Awesome place to train. Professor Jason is terrific at breaking things down. Great group of guys roll here. Some are really dedicated, and train here everyday. Very welcoming feel to the school, which is not always the case at BJJ schools.

This is an awesome jiu-jitsu school. All the people are welcoming and helpful. No egos to deal with. As a hesitant beginner coming into the school almost a year ago, I felt at home within a week and have been learning a ton ever since. Professor Jason and the other professors and coaches all want to help you improve and get better. This place is great for beginners and to learn from others. There are also plenty of high level belts here as well to learn from. Good school to help you grow, learn and achieve your goals.

This gym has forever changed my life and I truly thank Professor Jason, Professor Brie and Coach Dynamo for their encouragement and persistence. This gym has allowed me to find something that i can work hard towards and have fun while doing it at my age of 44 and beyond. I started training at this gym in 2016 after my Dr told me that i had to start treating my body right or ailments will catch up. I dont do your standard workout gyms with weights (never did), I hate running (always have) and at that time the only physical activity i enjoyed was golf. Besides golf, this gym is the only active hobby/sport, that I have ever been able to get myself thru and genuinely love. Within the first few years, I lost over 25lbs. Gained some lbs back in muscles, in places where I never knew I had em! Most importantly..... Mentally! Ill say it again - MENTALLY! I am most clear in the head and much happiest after a few hours of boxing/jits training. Thanks again GB Issy!

Wonderful gym, great technique, and really great people. Highly recommend to anyone looking to take there training to the next level, even if youve never trained before.

Amazing BJJ academy. Great instructors, welcoming environment - everything you could possibly want in a martial arts academy. Highly recommended.

This is an incredible gym. Even if I could give a ten star review I do not feel it would do this facility justice. I’ve yet to experience any other gym that completely encompasses the physical and mental challenge I was looking for all combined into one complete package. Gracie Barra caters to ALL ages and delivers excellence at every single level. Not only do they offer great programs, but the comradery shared amongst the members creates a powerful environment that pushes you to win with your self and your mental capacity. This gym gives you more than what you pay for and then some. Hands down, second to none. Would highly recommend to anyone, at any level of fitness. Ps COME JOIN BOXING CLASS!

Great Gym and offers allot of variety!! Jason and others are masters of Jiu-Jitsu and great teachers. Boxing/Kickboxing is also really good with good sparing available for all levels. Kids program is amazing and you can tell they have a great time while learning allot. Would definitely recommend!!

Ive been a member since February and havent regretted one second of it. Professor Jason is a phenomenal instructor and takes his time with each student. He instructs in a way that makes it easy to understand the fundamentals. The higher ranked students are very patient with the white belts and always give out pointers and corrections. Overall, this is a tremendous environment to learn BJJ. Its great for both kids and adults. Professors Bri, Alex, Peter and Brian are exceptional as well!

Excellent jiujitsu classes. High level professional education from an experienced black belt professor. Good with male and female students and also offers kids classes. After getting into the jiujitsu, I was really excited to see they offer boxing and kickboxing classes as well. I am very lucky to have discovered this school.

Gracie Barra Issaquah is a fantastic place to learn BJJ! Regardless of your skill level, Professors Jason and Bri are excellent teachers who can break down and explain techniques for beginner and advanced students alike.

This place is amazing! Very welcoming and warm. Theres a great feel for the family especially the kids classes!

This has been the best place Ive trained at! Everyone is really welcoming and helpful to one another, and I look forward to training as much as I can. I got back into bjj after a long time off, and its been a great place to learn from hobbyists and competitors alike.

Excellent instruction, cool people and good vibes. Highly recommend

Great Gym, Jason the owner is a top notch Black Belt instructor. Clean gym, great atmosphere and solid training for beginners and veterans alike. Strongly recommend this school

Great group of people, everyone is very helpful and professor Jason has created a very friendly environment for everyone from kids to their adult parents. The kids program is awesome and coach Bree does a great job coaching and developing a wide range of ages from toddlers to teens. Gracie Barra Issaquah is a great place to teach your kid to be bully-proof and I hope to have my daughter start training there as soon as shes able to fit into a gi!

Great place to train! You get a great workout in a very friendly environment. The instructor here is detail oriented and gives good instruction 👍👍👍

Clean, well kept! Great place for an amazing workout! If your looking for a group workout with added self defense as part of the curriculum this is the place. Great for kids and adults.

I have been training here for four years(both for BJJ and Boxing) and i have to highly recommend this academy. Both the Jiu-jitsu professors and the striking coach are highly knowledgeable in their respected discipline.

I LOVE IT HERE!!!My 1st day was Wednesday February 1, 2017. I was about to turn 40, I was a fat 188 pounds, I havent work out in 6 months, and started smoking again after 8 years on the wagon.I had no expectations and I honestly thought about quiting after the 1st week. I could NOT breath after training and rolling, and could not understand how I was going to overcome that. For the first 2 months, on the days I showed up, before every class I said F-it, Im doing this because Im getting old.So to keep things simple I had only 1 goal....walk through the Academy door. So convenience was the biggest factor in choosing a school. I was lucky that Gracie Barra Issaquah was only a 7 minute drive from home. And even luckier to have Professor Jason unique ability to teach and more importantly physically show the right techniques and movements. For me, this made Jiujitsu more and more addicting. I LOVE IT!!!Today I weigh 161lbs, havent smoked in 2 years, and no alcohol for over 1 year. My current physical health and my current mental health are all a result of showing up to class. Im blessed everyday I get to train.My equation is simple:Show up + Listen + Have Fun = A little better than yesterday. Thats all I need.So I absolutely recommend Gracie Barra Issaquah for everyone young and old. It made me a better man. Youll get high level Brazilian Jiujitsu techniques in a clean, fun, and healthy environment for the whole family.

What an amazing school with amazing instructors. Shout out to Jason and Bree. They are the best of the best. I love Jasons style of bjj and teaching. He is very clear when he goes over his technique. Im so happy he is my teacher and very proud to be his student. Bree have a female only class and let me tell you all of her female students are tough. Ive gone with a few of them and OMG they are sooo good. Bree also teaches the kids class, so if you have kids, come through.Issaquah GB is the best among other GB schools bc they also have a boxing classes you can take, included with the membership fee. Coach Dynamo is also super cool. Very technical guy. I say whether you are new and never tried bjj or boxing ever in your life, come to this school and they will help you. Ive been a member for almost 2 years now and I dont see myself leaving this school ever.Sophie

Awesome academy! the kids instructor coach bree is an amazing instructor with tons of experience. she is very detail oriented and takes her time to make sure attention is given to every student. Killer competition team too :)the academy itself is very clean and wide open with lots of natural light and air conditioning. professional atmosphere. hands down best place to train in issaquah.

Awesome place! Jiu Jitsu has changed my life in all the right ways. I’m healthier happier and more confidant. This school is a great place

Awesome! Professor Jason is really knowledgable. Great workout , all the higher belts give good coaching as well . All around great experience.

This is a great BJJ Gym run by a very friendly and knowledgeable instructor. There are no egos, the training partners are very supportive, and there are even opportunities to work on boxing and kickboxing for those who want to extend their training beyond grappling. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in BJJ in the Issaquah area.

Friendly crew with an environment that’s great for new and experienced players alike

Absolutely amazing academy for Brazilian Jiujitsu, a safe, friendly and family environment with excellent, highly skilled and top notch black belt instructors! Highly recommended!

Jason is an excellent professor of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Positive atmosphere, you will learn, get in shape, and have fun.

This is Issaquahs best Jiu Jitsu Academy. Professor Adams has a ton of experience and patience and makes sure you get it right. The guys and girls that he has over there are top notch sparring partners that are incredibly tough but not out to kill you. Great Academy.

GREAT GYM, GREAT PROFESSOR, AND GREAT COACHES! Gracie Barra Issaquah is a great school to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, boxing, and kickboxing.

I first started jiu jitsu about a year ago and when I did, my friend recommended this school for me and I decided to give it a try. In an instant I was hooked onto it. Professor Adams gives a very detailed and technical breakdown of techniques and is very patient and focused on making his students under stand the tiniest of details in techniques. The students are very friendly which makes for a very personable atmosphere and everyone is looking to help each other get better. So if youre looking for a jiu jitsu school whether you are a beginner or advanced I would recommend it 5/5.

GB Issaquah is a professional and safe place to learn the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Jason does a phenomenal job of breaking down techniques so that every student walks away having learned something.The formal Gracie Barra curriculum is the proven sequence of learning material that youll find at this school. However, he will occasionally digress from the normal curriculum to focus on moves he finds interesting (or that he thinks his students will find interesting). I almost always learn something new in Jasons classes. Every class is a killer work out too!Jason has an extraordinary skill set as an instructor. In addition to being a high level black belt, he also has a fantastic coaching style (for those who wish to compete in BJJ tournaments eventually). Ive seen him transform several of his students in to local and regional champions who compete regularly.

Awesome just awesome!🥊
