Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sammamish

Renzo Gracie Sammamish offers some of the best self defense and BJJ programs out there! The instructors are great and the community they created is wonderful. Great way to meet new friends, stay in shape, and learn new skills. The facility is really nice compared to other gyms and it also includes a locker room and showers. Best part is with the membership you can also train at the Snoqualmie location which helps if you need more training options depending on your schedule. Please check them out!

I've been very happy with this gym since I joined in 2024 (after a 4 year BJJ break). I previously trained at a few different places and Renzo Sammamish takes the top spot. It's great for beginners and advanced grapplers. I haven't come across a single training partner with any ego issues or just looking to smash people. It's been a great place to workout and develop a useful skill set. If you have been curious about starting BJJ (or switching gyms), I highly recommend coming here. One great thing about BJJ is everyone is welcome; all different sizes, shapes, and athleticism. Professor John, Ben, Casey, and Lindsay are all very down to earth and give personal attention to everyone on their BJJ journey. TAKE THE LEAP - I promise you it will be worth it.

Highly recommend! I'm brand new to jiu jitsu and this has been a fantastic place to start learning. The instructors do a fantastic job explaining concepts and also pay close attention to people during drills to give you advice along the way. In addition, the other members in the gym are also super patient, welcoming and helpful as you become more comfortable w/ the sport.

I’ve been training at Renzo Gracie Sammamish for about 8 months, and it has been a great experience. All the professors are excellent, but a special shout out to Professor John and Professor Ben. They are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping every student progress. One thing I really appreciate is that the style of jiu-jitsu they teach is very conducive for older students like myself— it focuses on core fundamentals, technique, and efficiency, which makes training accessible and sustainable at my age. The environment in the gym is also very welcoming and everyone that trains there is really supportive, making it easier to push yourself while still enjoying the process. There is also a second location in Snoqualmie, which is equally great and provides additional training opportunities. If you’re looking for a place to learn and grow, I highly recommend this gym. It has been an amazing experience for me, both from a physical and mental perspective.

WOW. I cannot say enough about this jiu-jitsu school. Their Professors/Instructors are welcoming and knowledgeable. Their members are friendly and fun. The environment provides the space for learning, and growth and is CLEAN. I was also incredibly impressed with their kids class and how they incorporated fun with learning at the same time. If you are looking for a jiu-jitsu school in Sammamish, I highly recommend Renzo Gracie.
