Great instructors, welcoming group of people, fantastic gym. This is my first time training BJJ and I'm so glad that I came to Six Blades PB. I was a little shocked by how supportive the group at the gym is. Didn't really know what to expect. Everyone is friendly, takes time to get to know you and will happily explain things. The instructors are so knowledgeable, but also really understand how to coach clearly. They make classes easy to follow. The classes are for all levels of experience and there are a variety of different times that work for all schedules. Also gi, nogi, judo, wrestling etc. The gym is extremely clean, prices are very fair and overall, I cannot imagine a better experience. Feel like I have a solid community and a home here. If you're thinking of trying BJJ or looking for a new gym, highly recommend.

My Children and my family love the leadership at Six Blades Jiu Jitsu. My kids workout 3 times a week and have chances to test their skills in friendly tournaments. They want to make their coaches and professor proud. It's is an encouraging and empowering environment. Great for all ages but we really love the kids program. My kids have made life long friendships and really look up to higher ranked kids and their coaches. I couldnt be more happy with the location and the easy parking in PB. We love it! ❤️

My daughters started at Six Blades when they were 4 and 3, with no martial arts experience. Professors Gustavo and Maggie immediately made them feel welcome and excited to try new things. Each leader’s patience level is incredible, I have learned so much about interacting with children by watching them. Also, having three daughters, I appreciate how there are male and female instructors, each with their own strengths and relationship with the kids. Couldn’t recommend Six Blades more…has changed my family for the better.

Coach Meg reached out ahead of my arrival and helped me figure out which class would be best. Super clean gym, friendly training partners, and detailed,expert instruction. Highly recommend if you’re visiting OR local!!
