If you're looking for a place to learn Jiu Jitsu with a fun and challenging environment, you gotta come check this place out!

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
This gym is absolutely fantastic. Some of the highest level coaches in the area choose to train at this gym, so you can expect top notch training 5 days a week. The atmosphere is very welcoming to people of all levels and backgrounds.

New to muay thai? 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at Short Fuse Martial Arts (Chess Lab- Vancouver,WA) Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.
