You don’t have to know anything about jiu jitsu to walk through our doors. You just have to be willing to try.

Jiu jitsu has a funny way of becoming more than something you do a few times a week. It challenges you, teaches you to problem solve, builds confidence, and introduces you to a community of people you might never have met otherwise.

And everyone on our mats started with a first class.

If you’ve been curious about jiu jitsu, we’d love to have you come try class with us. No pressure, no experience necessary, and no expectation that you already know what you’re doing. That’s what we’re here for.

Come see what happens when you try something new.

Classes for ages:
4-8 y/o
9-13 y/o
And Teens & adults!

A little reminder that the little things really do make a BIG impact when it comes to keeping everyone safe on the mats!

Jiu jitsu is a close contact sport, which means things like long nails, jewelry, watches, dirty gear, or uncovered cuts can quickly become a safety or hygiene issue for you and your training partners.

Before stepping on the mats, please make sure:
• Fingernails and toenails are trimmed short and clean
• All jewelry, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, watches
• Gis and training gear are freshly washed
• Long hair is tied back
• Cuts or scrapes are properly covered
• Shoes or sandals are worn everywhere in the gym except the blue mats

Parents, we especially need your help! Please give your kiddos a quick check before heading to class. We have a limited amount of time together on the mats, and students should arrive ready to train safely. When coaches don’t have to spend class time finding nail clippers, removing jewelry, fixing hair, or addressing things that can be handled at home, we get to spend more of that time doing what everyone came for... learning jiu jitsu!

These aren’t just “gym rules.” They’re simple ways we show respect for our training partners, our coaches, our academy, and ourselves.

Thank you for helping us keep our mats clean, safe, and ready for great training

There’s something pretty special about a group of people choosing to start their Thursday like this.

6 AM. On the mats. Learning, moving, problem solving, and getting a little better before most of the world has even started their day.

Our Thursday 6 AM Advanced Class has become one of those classes that just feels good. It takes a little commitment to set the alarm and get yourself through the door that early, but what a gift to give yourself before heading into the rest of your day!

You’ve already done something hard. You’ve already moved your body. You’ve already spent an hour completely focused on something right in front of you.

How much easier can the rest of your Thursday feel when this is how you started it?!

Thursday mornings at 6 AM at Renzo Gracie Sammamish. Advanced class is open to blue belts and up. Come train with us.

There aren’t many things that challenge your body and your brain quite like jiu jitsu.

You’re learning how to move, how to use leverage, how to recognize patterns, how to solve problems and how to stay calm when the answer isn’t immediately obvious.

And just when you think you’ve figured something out, someone gives you a new problem to solve.

That’s part of what makes jiu jitsu so special.

For kids, it’s a place to build confidence, coordination, resilience and independence while learning that it’s okay not to get something right the first time.

For adults, it’s an opportunity to put everything else aside for an hour, get an incredible workout and completely engage your brain in something new.

You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be athletic. And you definitely don’t need to “get in shape first.” You just need to start.

Come try a FREE WEEK at Renzo Gracie Sammamish and see why so many people fall in love with jiu jitsu.

Kids ages 4+ and adults are welcome.

Jiu Jitsu is one of those things where there is always more to learn.

New techniques. New details. New ways of looking at positions you’ve done a hundred times before. Even after years on the mats, there is always another layer.

We think a good Jiu Jitsu school should work the same way.

We’re always learning from our students, paying attention to what our community needs, looking at what’s working, and finding ways to make the experience on our mats even better.

Sammamish has grown so much, not just in numbers, but into a really special group of people who show up, train hard, help each other, laugh together, and make this place what it is.

And we’re excited about where we’re headed.

We have some new things on the horizon, some ideas we’ve been working on, and plenty of ways we want to continue growing right alongside our students.

Because just like Jiu Jitsu, we don’t think you ever really arrive. You just keep learning. Keep adjusting. Keep showing up. And keep getting a little better together!

Whether you’re looking for something new for your child or you’ve been telling yourself you should try Jiu Jitsu someday, this is your sign.

At Renzo Gracie Sammamish, we have classes for kids starting at age 4 and adults of all experience levels, and your entire first week is FREE!

For kids, Jiu Jitsu is so much more than learning how to grapple. It’s confidence, coordination, problem solving, resilience, learning how to be a great teammate, and getting comfortable doing hard things.

For adults, it’s an incredible workout without feeling like you’re just working out. You’ll learn real skills, challenge yourself physically and mentally, meet some pretty awesome people, and probably discover why so many of us get completely hooked on Jiu Jitsu.

No experience needed. You don’t need to be “in shape” first. You just need to show up.

Come see what our Sammamish team is all about. Your first week is completely FREE, so you can try classes, meet our coaches and teammates, and see if Jiu Jitsu is a fit for you or your family.

One of the things we value at Renzo Gracie Sammamish is flexibility.

We don’t limit students to one class per week, lock families into a particular training day, or expect everyone to train the same amount. Instead, we give our students multiple opportunities throughout the week and let you figure out what consistency looks like for YOU.

Each week our schedule offers:
🥋 6 training opportunities for our younger youth students
🥋 6 training opportunities for our older youth students
🥋 9 training opportunities for our adult students

Some weeks you may train a lot. Other weeks, work gets crazy, soccer starts, someone gets sick, or life simply gets busy. That’s okay.

Jiu jitsu is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes years to learn this art, and we want our students to build a relationship with training that can last for years too.

We believe jiu jitsu can become an incredible part of your lifestyle without requiring you to put the rest of your lifestyle on hold.

Train when you can. Stay consistent over time. Keep learning. Keep showing up.

Come try a free week and see how jiu jitsu can fit into your life. Schedule your first class at RenzoSammamish.com

Been thinking about trying jiu jitsu?
Before the back to school craziness officially begins, this might be the perfect time!

August is a great chance to try a free week, meet our coaches and teammates, learn how classes work, and start building a routine before September schedules take over.
And while we still have room in our programs right now, fall is traditionally one of our busiest times of year. We would much rather have you come try us now than wait until classes start filling up!

Whether you’re looking for something for your child or you’ve been considering stepping onto the mats yourself, you don’t need to know anything about jiu jitsu before you walk through our doors. That’s what we’re here for.

Come see why so many of our students end up finding much more than a workout here.
Your first week is free. Come try it while there’s still room to find your place on the mats.

Back to school is almost here... but backpacks aren’t the only thing kids need.

Confidence. Awareness. Good decision-making. Those are skills that last a lifetime!

Our FREE 4-week Anti-Bully Workshop Series begins THIS THURSDAY at Renzo Gracie Sammamish!

🗓 Thursdays
👦 Ages 6–8
4:15–5:00 PM
👧 Ages 9+
5:15–6:00 PM

Our regular students should attend these classes just like their normal schedule, and we’re opening them to the community too! If your child has a friend, neighbor, teammate, or classmate who could benefit, invite them to come along.

Each week builds on the last, so we highly encourage attending all four classes to get the full program. Kids will learn practical strategies, confidence, and age-appropriate self-defense skills that work together throughout the month.

September is already filling quickly, and there are still a few openings remaining in our August workshops. Last year’s classes reached capacity, so don’t wait!

Reserve your spot today at renzosammamish.com

Confidence is one of the best back to school supplies you can give your child!
