Snowblind BJJ in Seattle, Washington

“Snowblind BJJ has been a great experience. I was pretty hesitant to try a martial art, but the First Steps on-ramp program made it feel much more approachable.

“Niamh, the instructor, is really good at explaining not just the u201chowu201d but the u201cwhyu201d of every move. I am completely new to jiu jitsu and I took the 1-month First Steps course. It was exactly what I was looking for, very beginner friendly.”

“Snowblind and Niamh, the instructor, are both great. Would highly recommend coming here. 1) The space and culture feel very safe and inclusive.

“I've been training BJJ since 2010, been to many different gyms and by far, Niamh is one of the most technical, conceptual, and inspirational instructors I've had the honor - and fun! - to train with. Whether you're new to the sport, new to the area, back from an injury or time away, you'll find yourself warmly welcomed and accepted as you are. Try it out, you'll see what I mean!”

“Super friendly and accommodating Jiu Jitsu studio. Came here after not practicing for many years and the instructors were super welcoming and patient with me, especially with me being so out of shape. It's a super chill and laid back place. Definitely recommend if you're looking to dip your toe into BJJ and want a laid back place to get started.”

“Wonderful instructor. Niamh's teaching technique makes it easy to follow. Both the instructor and everyone attending are patient and help out to make sure it feels like everyone understands what they are doing, which is wonderful as this is my first martial art I've ever started learning. Very trans and LGBT friendly environment! Highly recommend.”

“Had a great time training at Snowblind BJJ while I was visiting. They were kind enough to allow me to drop in to a class and it was a fantastic experience. The instructor Niamh has a teaching method that makes the techniques clear and gives real insight into the positions covered. All the other students were welcoming and wonderful to train with. Will definitely be stopping by if I am in town again in the future.”
