From day one, I felt right at home. The staff were also **super responsive during sign-up** and helped me through some unusual payment hiccups without any hassle, which really showed how much they care about their members. I mostly attended the **11:30am classes**, which tend to be a bit smaller--perfect for getting more individual attention. The focus is very much on **technique**, which I really appreciate. Head Coach Tony deserves a special mention. He's **super friendly and approachable**, but don't let that fool you--he'll absolutely push you in training (in the best way possible). You leave every session tired but better, and the support from the whole gym makes it an awesome experience. Overall, it's a **supportive, technique-focused, and fun environment**--highly recommended for anyone looking to train Muay Thai, regardless of level.

New to the sport and just a hobbyist, but this gym is great for both beginners and people there to…read moreseriously train for fights. Muay Thai is a fantastic workout and a beautiful art. Inherent in the culture of the sport is mutual respect and sportsmanship, and Muay Thai Iyarin embodies that. Communication with your partner is emphasized, especially for more senior folks being paired with newer folks so that they feel comfortable with the light, play-style sparring used to practice the drills learned in class. Naturally, there is the option for heavier sparring for those in the intermediate and advanced classes--but even then, communication is emphasized...sometimes you've got an injury, sometimes you just don't want to go hard, etc. It's all about talking and getting on the same page. I absolutely love that, because it's so important to the sport, and to life in general! I love Muay Thai, and I really appreciate the culture and community that has formed around this gym. The folks here are great, and they work hard to make it a fun, safe place to learn the art.

My partner and I took a free trial course in Tsun Jo Kung Fu today. Everyone here, especially the…read moreinstructors, were very welcoming. Initially, we were asked to follow along with warm ups. Next, two different instructors worked with us as a pair. They reviewed proper stances, basic movements, punches, and a couple of blocks. We did some of this work with punching bags, the instructors and each other. They made it interesting, fun, and empowering. They were very encouraging. One was lighthearted and upbeat and the other more serious but patient and very nice. I enjoyed the intimate setting and small class size. In addition to classes they have a small gym that is available to students free as long as the dojo is open. I might have to finagle my work schedule to make this work but we felt good about this experience and plan on continuing with either the one month unlimited trial or five class pass. Based on my first impression, this is totally worth it!

Coming from northeast…read moreside of Seattle I would say the only tricky thing is pulling into their drive way where they have available parking. If that lot is filled you can also park up top where the recreational park is. As a jiu jitsu journey man I have found what I like and what I try to avoid when I visit a BJJ club. The culture and energy at frameworks is hands down one of the best vibes I've ever experienced. The best part about this school is there are a lot of high level practitioners so you are sure to gain a lot just from the rolls. As mentioned earlier, framework has one of the best welcoming all inclusive vibes that I look for when visiting. They don't have a bro-ey cult vibe that can be associated unfortunately with some schools. Overall, if you want to learn jiu jitsu, whether you've trained for years or have considered it but are hesitant because it can be intimidating, I can assure you that you will feel very welcomed if you visit and train at Framework. I've been doing jiu jitsu for a lil over a decade, visiting and training at many schools so I'm pretty confident with my take over at framework. Thanks for reading!

There's no politics. There's just good-natured, intense-as-you-need-to-be, technique-focused, wholesome training. The flexible class schedule throughout the week is also a HUGE plus. Early morning classes? Check. Midday classes? Got you covered. Evening Classes? Absolutely! Weekend classes and open mats? Oss! Gi and No-gi? Definitely - both available multiple times per week, I should add. And, we also have a Women's & Non-Binary class! And if you are a beginner, the Foundations program devised by the seasoned instructors is the best that I've seen throughout my 8+ years of training in the US and in Asia. The curriculum covers what you need to know so that you can learn to handle live sparring at your own pace. Regardless of whether you are a newbie or a grizzled mat monster (or something in between), Framework is a professionally-operated, technically-sound, members-oriented, welcoming BJJ dojo that is sure to have what you are looking for! Come get some!

Me being a smaller guy, I felt pretty intimidated at the start, but that feeling went away after I realized that everyone is there to improve each other. The only complaints I'll ever have for this gym is that it's expensive, ( If you're broke like me, coming here requires a bit of sacrifice ) but it's Seattle and I know the coaches gotta eat and cover their expenses for competing, which I'll gladly support. The mental and physical health benefits from training are absolutely worth it imo.
