Grand Coulee Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial arts academy offering both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. Conveniently located across from Safeway, behind Coulee Creamery, we provide a comprehensive training environment for individuals of all ages.
Our unlimited class package is available for just $75 per month. We offer 20 classes a month for children aged 4 and up and 24 classes a month for adults. Additionally, we provide family discounts and special rates for first responders, law enforcement, and military personnel.
At Grand Coulee BJJ, our primary focus is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), a martial art that emphasizes ground fighting and utilizes techniques such as joint locks and chokeholds to overcome strength and size disparities. Unlike many other martial arts, BJJ prioritizes cerebral strategies and allows practitioners to master hundreds of techniques over years of dedicated practice. With similarities to wrestling and judo, BJJ promotes flexibility, confidence, discipline, respect, and critical thinking. While emphasizing individuality, it also fosters teamwork, perseverance, and strong social bonds.
For children, BJJ enhances physical development, coordination, spatial awareness, and self-defense skills. It is particularly effective in teaching strategies for handling bullying. Moreover, it instills valuable life lessons and encourages progression through the belt ranks in a way that is less rigid than other sports.
Our BJJ belt system for children includes white, gray, yellow, orange, and green, with opportunities for faster promotion than in adult ranks. Upon reaching the green belt, children transition to the adult system, starting with the blue belt. The adult ranking system progresses from white to blue, purple, brown, and ultimately black. Children are not eligible to earn adult ranks until they turn 16. There are no testing or promotion fees for either children or adults.
BJJ offers numerous benefits for individuals of all ages. Adults experience improved fitness, stress relief, and increased confidence, while teens develop discipline and focus. Children gain valuable skills in respect and self-control. Overall, BJJ provides physical fitness, practical self-defense, mental resilience, and a strong sense of community.
We adhere to traditional BJJ etiquette, which includes removing shoes before stepping onto the mat, maintaining bare feet only on the mats, bowing before and after class, lining up by rank, addressing instructors as "coach" or "professor," and wearing proper Gi attire during sparring sessions.
We invite you to join us and experience the transformative benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai in a supportive and professional environment.
