Adult Jiu Jitsu Schedule

Seattle - Uptown

Find a class that fits your starting point. We offer different levels of classes to study the application of Jiu Jitsu across all experience levels.

Our Introductory Classes, while scaled to the beginner level in both pace and pressure, contain all the basic self defense you typically find associated with BJJ.

Each class level beyond that increases in pace, pressure, and granularity of detail. Start with the class that matches your experience level — or reach out and we’ll help you find one that fits!

Intro

Intro is for brand new students who want a clear and welcoming first step.

You’ll learn the basic positions, how to move safely, how partner training works, and what to expect in class. The goal is not to overwhelm you. The goal is to give you enough understanding and confidence to keep going.

Fundamentals

The heart of training at Praxis. A structured, always-evolving curriculum that covers the fundamentals across every position — guard, mount, side control, back. Students at all belt levels attend this class because the basics are never finished. You will warm up, learn technique, practice with a partner, and train live. 1 hour. No experience required.

All - Levels

A 90-minute session open to all experience levels. Broader range of technique and more time for live training than Fundamentals. The extra 30 minutes gives you space to work through details and apply them against resistance. No experience required.

Intermediate

For students who have built a solid foundation. The focus shifts from surviving and escaping to initiating — setting up offense, controlling exchanges, and finishing from multiple positions. This course adds depth to the defensive base built in Fundamentals. Typically reached after 8-12 months of consistent training. 90 minutes. Invitation by instructor.

Advanced Jiu Jitsu

Advanced Jiu Jitsu is simply the basics done well. Timing and transitions are where most “advanced” technique is found. Get a good handle on the basics. Learn how to apply those under pressure. Then come to the advanced class. Not a starting place for beginners.

Open Mat

Live sparring following a proper warm up. Apply what you have been working on in class against resisting partners. All experience levels welcome — intensity is self-regulated. All non-intro classes have sparring. Open mat is just all rolling.
