Now that was funWhat a great gym! George and ALL of the assistant instructors are beyond exceptional! Everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and willing to share so much with this newbie. I had an amazing time for the 4months I was here in Seattle at Summit! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone that rolls or who is curious about BJJ. So many great people and such a diverse mixture of styles and personalities make this gym what it is.

Its a non-profit gym and its awesome?!Yes, its true this is the best BJJ gym Ive ever trained at and Ive trained at a half dozen gyms across two states and two countries. They have great instructors and a very chill, welcoming atmosphere. If youre interested in competing they have that too :)

I shopped around for different BJJ gyms 4 years ago and Summit won me over immediately after my first class. To see how far they have come in that time as a volunteer organization is proof positive that the club leadership team has created something special. The instructors are very knowledgeable and eager to teach people of all levels. I would highly recommend checking them out.

Great gym - lots of higher belts, everyone is very friendly and technically skilled. Classes are structured well to get different kinds of training in. Very welcoming to visitors and drop-ins!

Chill vibes and great people to roll with! Very welcoming to beginners and new people in general

I stopped by for an open mat session while visiting from Denver. There was a laid back but respectful attitude. Everyone was extremely welcoming. Had some great rolls.

Good vibes! Theres something for everyone. From the casual hobbyist looking to learn and get in shape to the serious competitor trying to refine their game, youll always have good people there to help you along your journey. Instruction is great but people there really make the place awesome!

The the leadership makes this gym great. The people make it memorable. Ive been training here for nearly 2 years now and Ive loved every minute of it. We try and bring positive vibes into our gym daily. Come check it out.

Dropped in for a couple of classes while in Seattle for work; excellent instruction and a fun, laid back attitude. Thanks so much to the Summit crew for welcoming me and introducing me to a few new techniques. I highly recommend and cant wait to return.

Trained here while in town for work in January and excited to go back. Friendly people of all skill level happy to roll, always under control and safely. An unpretentious attitude among both professors and students that comes only from gyms confident in the quality of their jiu jitsu. It was my privilege to roll with the killers at this great school.

They offer a solid curriculum for all skill levels, with plenty of sparring opportunities. The mat culture is really laid-back, learning-based (versus an in-house competition vibe) and very open to newcomers. Im extremely happy with my experience at Summit and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in starting or continuing their BJJ training.

Summit is an awesome place to learn BJJ at. The people are very welcoming which is helpful being a new member. They offer tons of classes for a great monthly rate. Id highly recommend them.

Pure martial arts. Honest and kind people helping each other learn and improve at BJJ. Amazing place to get in shape, make friends and learn to defend yourself. Also the best deal in town.

Summit BJJ is awesome, it’ll change your life. GET AT IT!!!

I was in Seattle for a couple of weeks and decided to train at this gym. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here and had a warm welcome from the beginning. They are really technical and the competition is healthy. Whether you are visiting or live in the Seattle area, I would definitely recommend this gym.

A really good collection of people. The instructors are friendly fun and technically great.

Awesome club. Great instruction and open mats. Its a good group: all different skill levels / belts, gi and no-gi people, various styles, good mix of competitors and hobbyists, men and women. George & the club leadership are great folks.

Ive been on a journey across the states training wherever I can and this is one of the best gyms Ive been to. The instructors are super friendly and knowledgable and are very clear in there instructions. The students are really friendly to. They teach every thing from gi and no-gi jiu jitsu, as well as submission wrestling with judo and wrestling take downs. If your ever in Seattle, and want a great place to train, train hear!

I started my first foray into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pretty much the day after I turned thirty years old. I had no previous experience with any grappling-based martial art, yet wanted to try something new at the start of my new decade. Since Summit was located only a few blocks from my apartment, I decided to give it a try and I’ve been hooked ever since. Have no fear if this is your first time, the instructors and other team members are super supportive of new students, never hesitating to answer questions, and are committed to students’ learning and wellbeing.I think there’s a misconception that BJJ has a kill-or-be-killed mentality with regard to training and sparring, especially among new students. And although Summit allows brand new students to roll from the get-go, there is no pressure placed upon students to do so. In fact, students are introduced to sparring situations through games, positional sparring, and controlled rolls. The beginners’ classes have a great, no-nonsense curriculum scheduled, which is also attended by more advanced students. Furthermore, the advanced (two-stripe white belt and above) and no-gi classes are faster paced, more technical, and introduce students to high-level concepts and techniques. On the other hand, the noonday core classes focus on judo and wrestling take-downs and positional drills. There’s pretty much a class every day for those looking to train.Finally, my overall impression of the school’s culture is this: laid-back, family oriented, friendly, and the instructors teach because they love the art.Although Summit has switched locations since I first began, the new school on Bellevue and Bellevue is amazing. Since moving from 21st avenue, the school has more than doubled the available classes, added new resources to their facilities, and have remained true to their mission of providing very, very affordable, superb quality Jiu-Jitsu. 5-million stars.

Great and talanted people!
