Today is January 1, 2026 and I just cancelled my membership after 4 years . I loved it so why…read morecancel? I watched all the best coaches leave. Turnover at this gym is high. I also watched as the gym got dirtier. I mentioned it to the owner and he didn't care. The final straw was as a new, clean F45 opened right down the street. BTW, they gouge you with a "30-day cancellation" so even though I had paused my membership (which costs $15/month) I still have to pay for a full month I won't use. I loved the workouts and the gym in the beginning. But like most workouts (barre, CrossFit), this trend is over and a new one begins. I would never have left if the owner treated his people and his investment better.

I signed up for a free class, and was texted that they no longer can fit me in the window for that…read moreday, i then saw a $30 charge on my card (they tell you to put ur card info in order to join the free class) while emphasizing greatly it is free. I got like 8 emails from this place and none said anything about a fee? Will be disputing, but attended a Barre class and loved it somewhere else!

I had been looking for a martial arts school since I moved to Vancouver, WA from CA. I've trained…read morein martial arts prior and knew the type of school I wanted to be a part of. I visited a few jiu jitsu schools both in Portland and Vancouver, but struggled in finding the right school and instructor. I wanted a school where the instructor is knowledgeable, skilled, patient, humble, respectful and effectively communicates techniques. Justin Bendsneyder exemplifies all these characteristics. He is an excellent instructor that truly cares about his students and teaching them proper jiu jitsu skills and techniques. Equally important for me was the overall vibe of the school and the students training there. I wanted to train hard, but didn't want to join a place that had a "bro" mentality with people that have a chip on their shoulder. This isn't the case at Inertia - everyone was nice, friendly, and there to learn with no attitudes. It is a welcoming atmosphere for all; beginners as well as advanced practitioners. I was very happy to find Inertia Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Justin B and highly recommend it to anyone looking to both get in shape & learn jiu jitsu in a positive environment.

I normally don't post reviews yet felt compelled to write this one. Bottom line: Your coach can…read moremake all the difference in your development and passion for the sport and art of BJJ, and I can think of no better coach than Justin Bendsneyder and no better place than Inertia BJJ. When you sign up to join, you sign up for Justin to be your coach, so you learn directly from him. Perhaps what is most telling is that my original plan was to take up a different martial art. However, after observing how Justin taught his students, it became instantly clear to me that I had to seize the opportunity to become a student of Justin's. Truly gifted martial arts instructors can be hard to come by. I realized that this rare and special opportunity was right before me and so I approached Justin [he is very approachable!] and told him that I wanted to learn from him. That happened about a year ago and since then has been one of the best experiences of my life. Justin breaks down techniques and move sets in a way that make it clear and simple to apply, are mechanically sound, and reliable under pressure. The way he communicates that though is what initially caught my attention. Justin has the rare ability to distill down the complex into the simple -- yet in great detail. For me, great communication contains words and instruction yet goes far beyond that to also include patience, respect, the ability to understand things from the student's perspective, always being positive, being a good listener, encouraging questions, demonstrating moves from different angles until you get it, explaining not just the 'what' but the 'why' behind it; the list goes on. Humility, integrity, self-respect, respect for others... Justin leads by example. Always positive, downright friendly, and encouraging to make the learning and mat work fun! The way he carries himself is imprinted throughout Inertia BJJ and as a consequence there is a strong bond of trust, respect and camaraderie among all students. Again, this makes training fun and rewarding because everyone shares the same mindset of wanting to help your fellow training partner. Respect and friendship; you make others better and they in turn make you better. Justin continually strives to improve even though he is an advanced Black Belt with undeniable proficiency in the many facets of BJJ: Gi, No Gi, Self Defense, Sport/Competition. He constantly seeks out new techniques to test out to ensure that the techniques he teaches us are as refined and optimal as possible. In this way, he is constantly driven to make himself better and all of us -- his students -- better; session after session. That is the kind of integrity Justin brings to Inertia BJJ... tirelessly practices what he preaches. Simply the best BJJ coach and the best kind of person that you will find.

My step-son attends taekwondo classes here twice a week, partially to give him an additional place…read moreto burn off some of his energy, but also to ingrain the concepts of respect, discipline, personal achievement and focus. I'm happy with the improvements I've seen in his behavior after class, even if most of the lesson's impact fades away within a day or two. Thankfully, another class is right there on the horizon! Tuition is reasonable, and there are plenty of available time slots for the various programs. Attendance in any time slot is *not* mandatory, at least for the Tiny Tigers program: you're free to bring your student to any available class for their program, throughout the week, depending on your schedule and flexibility. That's a nice touch that's not always offered at other dojangs and dojos. The staff at World Class Martial Arts somehow manage to corral more than two dozen kids at the same time, hold their attention for a half hour, and even impart some lessons (both physical and mental), with a reasonable amount of success. Sure, sometimes a child (often mine! haha!) will require some individual attention to get them to follow instructions and get them back on track, but the "sabom" (instructors) here are quick to notice distracted kids and move to intercept them, often dividing the troublemakers into groups separate from the more attentive students, and giving them personalized instruction. It's a good system, and it works! Gam sa ham nida!

Teaching respect, patience and other life skills all through Taekwondo. We looked into other martial arts types in the area (jiu jitsu, mixed) but our son was not interested in them. World Class Martial Arts Taekwondo was the winner for us. Their space is pretty fixed in size, but I wish the changing area was organized better. There is always lots of congestion in this area making it hard to get into and out of uniform. Due to rain and cold we prefer to change there than to wear the uniform in the weather and in the car.

You all know me - American Small Business is the greatest engine of our economy…read more I am also a believer that children are our greatest resource and hope for the future. With that in mind...I cannot say enough good things about American Martial Arts. We're in town visiting family from the Washington DC area. My nephew (and his parents) are all enrolled in Matt Quinlan's (aka Mr. Matt's) classes. Headmastered under Robert Pearlswig, this school takes a holistic and age-defined approach to instruction. I was so pleased to see the positive, structured, and careful instruction. My nephew has really blossomed in this school and I expect one day he will be joined by his sister. The best compliment I can give is that if we lived in the area, 100% we would be taking classes here. If you or your children have interest in a positive and structured outlet for physical improvement and self-defense, please consider American Martial Arts in Vancouver. Shao-Lin Kempo well, my friends.

Mr Matt is an amazing instructor with patience and belief in his students. My child has thrived in…read morehis instruction and counsel over the past 2 years and I have seen such positive results in his overall physical and mental health. When we walked into the dojo to inquire about the program my son was withdrawn and kept his head down, didn't engage or look you in the eye when you spoke, today he holds himself with pride, head held high, and with a respect that was learned in this establishment. I've seen Mr Matt handle multiple altercations with people walking in off of the street with dignity and kindness. Rudeness met with grace, foul language met with I hope you have a nice day. Something for the students to look up to and learn from. We will continue to be a part of American Martial Arts for the foreseeable future and look forward to the advancement in my son's training and learning from an instructor we were so lucky to find in Mr Matt.

I have been to a lot of gyms and I can tell you first hand, the owner and staff are terrible…read more Owner knows absolutely nothing about customer service and hard to believe he can run a business. Ask for a tour of his office and I think you could understand my point. I don't think the floors have ever seen a mop and dusting isn't a thing. Okay equipment and there are always broken pieces with signs on them and some of them have duct tape or black tape on them. There are some awesome people that go there and work out but if you ask them if there was a new gym in the vicinity they would all go. It's only a convenient factor right now. The gym is Super overpriced for what you get. Can't wait for someone to build another gym right next door. Make it amazing please and then we could say bye to the old and hello to the new. Oh and please have an amazing owner who actually works out and is out on the floor with high energy and positive and not a smoker.
