Hillary and Brian aren't just excellent at teaching and grappling, but also at cultivating a truly inclusive environment. I used to live in Portland, and now own my own school elsewhere.

Brian was teaching when I went. Very informative while showing BJJ moves, clean space to "roll" (spar) and I can not express how welcoming this group is. They are part of a veteran's group, show no hesitation towards women and show nothing but love for the LBGTQ community. That's how sports and instruction is supposed to be. Try something new.

It has been like this for about three years. It is frustrating to see prices go up while nothing improves. It is also annoying that the trainers have a private room that only they and their clients can use, yet they still take up a lot of space in the open workout areas. To be fair, it is probably still the best gym in the area for the price, but the bar is pretty low on this side of town.
