Many people attend this club and seem to be loyal and dedicated. They are helpful with anyone who is new if you are serious about whatever you are signing up for. The owners are hardworking and dedicated. It's a family owned and operated business. They have great achievements under their belts. Music played here is PG-13, not good for the little ears. (Unless that's what they hear at home) Children are not allowed to hangout during your workout session unsupervised. They have limited seating for those who are waiting on someone. They lack parking spaces. I can't wait until they have a building on their own with better parking.

Go research signs of a toxic BJJ gym and that would describe this gym. Because of gym politics,…read morebeing that we did a trial class at another gym, (we did not sign up there) and requesting an owner directed process in which coaches and members could mediate when issues arise, they cancelled my membership and that of my special needs daughter. The mediation request was NOT due to personal issues- but the lack of one caused inappropriate interaction to be witnessed. This occurred even after I specifically asked for her to stay because consistency is especially important to children with her type disability. They told everyone that we chose to leave, which we did not. We had been there for FOUR years. I took the time to write this review because my special needs daughter was affected and I don't want that to happen to anyone else.

The most important thing about a martial arts dojo is the learning environment. Drew and Chrissie…read moreare awesome owners/instructors who set an amazing family-like and welcoming vibe for everyone at Framework. Whether you are a beginner in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or a weathered veteran, Drew and Chrissie wrap you in a culture that welcomes you and brings the best out of you, at the same time. I have been at Framework for the past 2.5 years and have trained at a variety of schools in Seattle, out of state, and abroad over the past 6 years. Seeing what Drew and Chrissie offered at the dojo, I brought not only my kids but also my wife. Yes, my entire family trains at Framework because of the overall warmth. But don't get me wrong - Framework is not an easy training environment. The training partners here are top-notch. White Belts all the way up to Black Belts. There is an absolute murderers row of gals and guys. But they aren't "out to get you." Instead, they are out to bring the best out of you. If you are looking for a BJJ dojo in Seattle, look no further. Welcome to Framework BJJ!

This place is the best! Michelle and Bernardo are great with the kids! My almost 3 year old took…read moreclasses here and loved going! It was my son's first class that he took where a parent did not participate with him which was very beneficial for him to learn to be more independent and to listen to instruction from others. He has even been learning some jiu jitsu skills which is impressive for a nearly 3 year old! In the kids class, they incorporate jiu jitsu skills as well as add in fun games to keep the kids active and engaged. I would highly recommend bringing your toddlers here! My son is definitely developing a good foundation of discipline, respect, and defense skills.

He'll tell you its a month-by-month martial arts center so you think you can take a break anytime.

Nor are these "fees" posted for the public. Terrible businessman!
