Awesome dojo. Great teacher with lots of experience. He'll demonstrate a move and tell you what his experience on it is, as he actively uses it in competition. He also incorporates moves in self defense as well (i'm more interested in comp). Super cool guy that will answer any of your questions. Students here are chill as hell and are very helpful. I'm constantly asking for advice from the higher belts. All skill types and no egos here. love it.

Like quite a few NWJJA students, I came from a long martial arts background before I got ‘bitten’ by the Jiu-Jitsu bug around 2004 or 2005-ish. Back then there wasn’t a lot of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to be found in the greater Seattle area, and I actually found Brian through another school (MKG Seattle), where he taught a Saturday class at the time. Watching one class was all I needed. Brian was (is) an excellent instructor. He is organized, thorough, and breaks things down in a way that makes everything seem easy. I didn’t know anything about grappling at the time, but I could spot a good martial arts instructor when I saw one. I’ve been training at NWJJA ever since (receiving my black belt in January 2017), and Brian and NWJJA have grown by leaps and bounds ever since. Highly recommended.

I joined Northwest Jiu Jitsu as a brown belt because I was looking for a more convenient place to train given where I work, and the fact that I can only train in the mornings. After reviewing the reviews here on Yelp, I decided to give it a try. After my first class, I knew this was the perfect place for me to continue training. I have now been training here for nearly a year, and couldn't be happier. Brian Johnson is a great teacher, talented Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, and extremely approachable when you have questions about techniques. When watching him teach, you can see that he has a real passion for Jiu-Jitsu and teaching. The facility and mats are immaculate, I've never seen a cleaner school. The students are extremely friendly - there are no egos here. I strongly recommend Northwest Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking to get into Jiu Jitsu for the first time, or if you are looking to change schools.

Besides doing Aikido for a couple months, I'd never been a martial artist and found the thought of it intimidating. I'm glad I found NWJJA and Professor Brian Johnson. He is an excellent teacher and this comes from 1) being a masterful practitioner and lifetime student and 2) loving the sport of BJJ. The gym and the people reflect Professor Brian's personality--world class skill without arrogance, acceptance of all types of people, and dedication to helping students succeed as BJJ practitioners and human beings. I highly recommend just stopping by and visiting if you are even mildly curious about training BJJ.

Let me start off by saying Brian is an excellent instructor. He makes learning the techniques fun and easy and is clearly gifted at instructing others. Things are pretty informal for the most part in a fairly relaxed environment. The people are very cool at the gym and accepting to new people trying out BJJ. The gym feels like a family. Everyone is there to help each other to get better. Long story short, you will not find a much better BJJ gym than this one.
