One of the fastest growing sports in the world

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is life changing and life saving

The MKG in Seattle grappling program combines ground fighting techniques and training methods from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, Erik Paulson’s Combat Submission Wrestling, Kali, Silat and the Jun Fan martial arts. Each of the arts adds an integral piece to the grappling puzzle.

However the most popular element at the moment is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Things you will learn

Here are a few things you will learn when you take MKG’s BJJ classes

How BJJ fits into our grappling programs and curriculum

Brazilian jiu-jitsu develops a sense for proper positioning and technique over strength. The CSW mixed martial art classes provide the seamless transitioning between striking, clinching and a rapid-fire ground game. While Kali-Silat provides the principles and tactics when the situation requires a more serious response than just a “submission.”

Classes are drill based to promote ease of motion and proper technique.

Other benefits of these classes include:  

  • Classes are fun and appropriate for people of all levels.
  • A great workout that is totally different than kickboxing.
  • One of the few classes where students can “compete” or ‘spar’ with a low risk of injury.

What makes BJJ different

An outstanding aspect of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that, unlike many other martial arts, you can practice at 100% speed and power. This means you don’t have to “pull punches”, so to speak. That might sound like a scary proposition  No worries, as effective as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is, it is still a very gentle art. You can practice all day long and not suffer injuries.

Built in goal setting keeps you interested and moving forward

Unlike western wrestling where the objective is to “pin” your opponent or gain points. The goal of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is to gain positional advantage and apply a joint lock or choke to force your opponent into submission.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu endorses the concept that a smaller and weaker person using leverage and good technique can defend themselves. Even if they are up against a larger, stronger opponent on the ground.

Learning the self-defense aspects of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is an absolute necessity. Most people stick with it because it is just plain fun!

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / BJJ program in Seattle

Yes. Most of our students in Seattle start with zero experience. With consistent training and guidance, they build real skill, confidence, and athletic ability over time—and you can too.

When you arrive at MKG Martial Arts International of Seattle, just bring comfortable athletic clothes and a water bottle—we’ll take care of everything else.

It’s normal to feel a little nervous before your first class. Once you meet the instructors and other students, that feeling usually shifts quickly into excitement.

Not at all. No matter your current fitness level, you can train here. While classes are group-based, everyone progresses at their own pace.

Some people improve quickly, others take more time—and that’s completely fine. What matters is that you’re showing up, challenging yourself, and making steady progress.

Strength, coordination, and endurance develop over time—even if you don’t consider yourself naturally athletic.

Jiu-Jitsu can be a helpful way to support focus and concentration. Our Seattle adult classes provide structured, hands-on learning that keeps your mind engaged.

By following instruction, practicing techniques, and staying present during training, many students find it easier to manage attention and stay on track.

If you’ve been researching martial arts in Seattle, you’ve likely seen styles like Karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and MMA. These typically focus on striking—punches, kicks, knees, and elbows.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on grappling, using leverage, positioning, and technique to control an opponent. Since many real-world situations end up on the ground, this makes Jiu-Jitsu a practical option for self-defense.

Our instructors work closely with each student to adjust training when needed. Many people in Seattle join with existing issues like back discomfort, joint stiffness, or limited mobility—and still train safely.
