Frequently Asked Questions

When do you enroll students?
We enroll year round. There are no enrollment periods — you may start at any time. Come in for a FREE Trial Session when ever it works for you.

Can family members come watch the class?
Yes. We encourage it. We provide a very comfortable area to watch classes and we even have a special play area for the younger siblings.

Are you going to pressure me to sign up at my free trial?
We guarantee a no-pressure free trial. We will let you know how you did after you’re finished with class and give you the room you need to ask more questions or take time to look over the information and think about everything. We encourage you to do as many classes as possible during your trial period.

Do you offer long or short term memberships?
No long term memberships. You can cancel anytime with no cancellation fee. Please speak with the front desk about our official cancelation policy details.

I’m not sure if martial arts is right for me…
We understand that beginning a new activity, especially martial arts, can cause anxiety. We have been trained on how to teach all ages. We know people are worried about starting martial arts because of injury and unsafe training partners. Just show up! Upon arriving, you will be given a uniform (called a “gi”) and will be given a focused introductory lesson by one of our instructors before you join in the group class.

Every beginner class is taught with no previous experience necessary, so you will not feel left behind. Our program is structured by class number (23 group classes), so you will always know exactly what techniques you will be learning on any given day. You could even check out the techniques of the day on GracieUniversity.com before class to get a head start! We are not a gladiator school that throws new students to the wolves. Our beginner program is amazing for all ages and athletic ability. We have been voted #1 Martial Arts school every year for a reason :)

What is Jeet Kune Do? I thought Bruce Lee was an actor!
Though most people remember Bruce for revolutionizing martial arts film, Bruce was also creating a revolutionary approach to martial arts training. Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is unique because we train MANY different arts- NOT just one single art like karate or tae kwon do. You will be exposed to amazing training methods even in your first FREE trial class. JKD allows us to be prepared for any self defense situation and we train the most modern combat sports.

What should I wear for my first class?

Upon arriving for your first class, we will provide a uniform for you to wear. We recommend comfortable undergarments or leggings, and a t-shirt or rashguard that you can wear under your gi. We will also have training attire available for purchase after your class. Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes, as you will be working up a sweat! We also recommend that you bring or wear flip flops. This will make it easier to take on and off your shoes as you leave and enter the mat.

What Certifications do you have?

We are the 1st Certified Gracie Jiu Jitsu Training Center under the legendary Gracie Family in the Pacific Northwest. We are directly teaching under Rener and Ryron Gracie. We are also the Pacific Northwest Representative for the Progressive Fighting Systems and Descendants of the Masters. Our Instructors are also Instructor Level under Guro Dan Inosanto (friend and training partner of Bruce Lee). Each of our head instructors have 20 years or more training in the martial arts. Visit us anytime, we love to talk martial arts and self defense. You will be amazed by the knowledge we have here at MMA!

I am not very “sporty” or co-ordinated. Will that be a problem for me?

Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes may have described themselves like that before they started. There is absolutely no experience necessary for any of our beginner classes. You will fit right in! Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at what your body is capable of, and how much you can improve! Our certified martial arts instructors are trained to keep their teaching simple, effective, and beginner-focused. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ‘ninja-like’ skills! Come see for yourself!

FINAL NOTE

We pride ourselves on being the elite instructors for our area. We do NOT believe in "weekend Krav Maga instructor courses" or Traditional Karate and Tae Kwon Do instructors teaching "MMA" and "Ground Fighting" as part of their course. We want you to KNOW that we are certified in the arts we teach and have been teaching street self defense for over 20 years. This is not a fad, we are here to empower our community.
