Gracie Barra Kirkland provides an excellent environment for anyone's Jiu-Jitsu journey. The camaraderie and friendships formed here are invaluable. Attending their in-house no-gi tournament with my family was a blast, thanks to the welcoming atmosphere and clean facilities. The genuine kindness of everyone at the gym, coupled with their commitment to students' growth, makes it a top recommendation for those in the Kirkland area. It's a place where you not only learn Jiu-Jitsu but also evolve into a better version of yourself.

Professor Joshua and Solange are nothing short of perfect. They create a safe and welcoming environment, while being able to explain the lessons in a digestible manor. This can be an intimidating sport to get into, and from the get go, they turned my fear into fun. 10/10 recommend.

I greatly enjoyed my time studying at Gracie Barra Kirkland. This was my first Jiu-Jitsu gym and I couldn't have been more satisfied starting here. Professor Josh, Coach Garrick, Coach Solange, and other training partners learning there were welcoming, friendly, and extremely helpful with learning techniques. I mostly took gi classes and was very satisfied with the quality of instruction. They were extremely patient with someone who didn't know a thing about grappling. Don't sleep on the no-gi classes, as the few times I did go, the content was also extremely well-done. Altogether a great environment to learn the sport. Thank you all!
