From the reviews
My son loves it. 5-6 times per week, not so expensive. I highly recommend this jiu-jitsu program for any parent looking to enroll their child in a martial arts class that offers a blend of fitness, personal growth, and fun
I started about 6 months ago and it's amazing what I can do now! Doing things I never thought possible. Getting fit and professors here are so patient and make sure that the atmosphere is friendly and encouraging. If you want a great workout and learn some good self-defense, this is the gym for you!
I checked out some other gyms before deciding on beginning my jiu jitsu journey with FSBJJ and I couldn't be happier. The professors and staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The classes are challenging and so much fun, I always look forward to attending . The facility is top notch and always clean.
Great pair of instructors teaching the best sport in the world! There are countless mental and physical benefits to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that are not apparent in any other sport.
New to kickboxing? Start at Short Fuse Martial Arts (Chess Lab- Vancouver,WA) Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA
Short Fuse Martial Arts (Chess Lab- Vancouver,WA) Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Short Fuse Martial Arts (Chess Lab- Vancouver,WA) Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
