Solarte offers BJJ in Sequim for adults, youth and young children. We have classes six days a week, flexible pricing and a welcoming family-friendly atmosphere.
What is Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a combat martial art which uses leverage to control bigger, stronger opponents. BJJ has become popular for its use in sports such as Mixed Martial Arts as well as in self-defense systems used by law enforcement and the military.
At Solarte, our games-based training helps youth and adult students learn quickly and safely while having fun. Unlike many youth martial arts programs, Solarte does NOT have a lower-ranking adult student teaching the class. All li’l ones (ages 4-8) and youth classes (ages 8-14) are taught by the head instructor to ensure that everyone is getting the highest quality instruction.
Our adult classes offer more tailored training based on each student’s goals. Some people are more concerned about self-defense while others want to test themselves in competition. We adjust the lessons accordingly. Whatever your focus, you’ll get in shape, develop new levels of confidence, challenge yourself and meet new friends!
Who’s Teaching BJJ in Sequim
Jenn Lozada is an experienced, longtime instructor under Rob Biernacki of Island Top Team. She’s patient, knowledgeable and cares about every student on the mats. She regularly travels and studies to ensure the club uses the most effective training strategies. This is especially important because, unlike many traditional martial arts, BJJ is constantly evolving and changing.
Brian Williamson is a black belt under Curtis Hembroff and Eddie Bravo in the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu system. Since his teens, he’s been involved in martial arts and wrestling. He owned and operated his own BJJ club near Austin, TX until moving to Sequim in 2024. Brian is a dedicated and experienced instructor who teaches with humor and patience. We are very grateful to have an instructor of his caliber right here in Sequim!
