BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU CLASSES IN SEATTLE, WA
BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art built around control, positioning, and submissions, where technique and timing matter more than strength.
At Combat Arts Academy, the focus isn’t just on what you’re learning, but how you’re introduced to it. Starting something like this can feel overwhelming if you’re not sure what’s going on or what’s expected of you. We’ve built our program so that doesn’t happen.
You’ll be guided through the process with structure, clear progression, and coaching that helps you understand what you’re doing and why it works. The goal early on isn’t to “keep up,” but to build a foundation that actually makes sense, so you can continue to improve without feeling lost every time you step on the mat.
INTRODUCTION TO BJJ
For Beginners and First-Time Practitioners
The Intro to BJJ class at CAA is an 8-week series, and is designed for people who are brand new, and more importantly, for people who don’t want to feel thrown into the middle of something they don’t understand.
You’ll be starting with other beginners and working through the same core material together, which gives you space to learn without feeling like you need to keep up with anyone else. We focus on the fundamentals — how to move, how to manage distance and positioning, how to work with a partner, and how to stay safe while doing it.
There’s a lot to take in at first, and that’s expected. The structure of the program is there to slow things down just enough that you can actually understand what you’re doing, instead of just going through the motions. Over time, things start to connect, and you build a base that makes everything else in Jiu-Jitsu easier to learn.
LEVEL 2 BJJ
For Those Ready to Take the Next Step
Level 2 BJJ is for those who have mastered the basics and are ready to deepen their practice. In this class, we build on foundational skills and dive into more advanced techniques, combining them with positional sparring and live training to develop your timing, control, and strategy. This level is about refining your skills and integrating them into real-time scenarios. It’s a step up in intensity and complexity, but always with a focus on respect, mutual support, and continuous improvement.
Why Train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?
BJJ is a transformative practice that goes beyond the physical. It challenges you to think strategically, stay humble, and overcome obstacles—both on and off the mats. Whether you’re here for fitness, self-defense, or personal growth, our BJJ program offers a path to all three. We’re here to support you as you build discipline, resilience, and the confidence to handle whatever life throws at you.

The owner of the gym is building a culture where inclusivity is more than just a concept, it's a way of life. Where you can be trans, genderqueer, a woman, a kid, a mom, an older person, whatever, and you're welcome...I've never had a community like this before and y'all are the ones that built the space for it to happen.
