I have had such amazing experiences here. I was in the Wednesday womens class and my toddler twins also had a class on Thursdays. They made a special time slot for my twins since they are so young (2 years old) that they couldnt participate with the older kids. Very accommodating and welcoming. The professor was very patient with my daughter, she was so shy when we first came she would run from him or just stand perfectly still and stare at him from a distance. But after 2 months my twins started to mimick what we were doing. It was such a beautiful sight to see my kids actually pick up the sport.i hope to return soon so my kids can get even more exposure to the mat. As for myself I loved the feeling and confidence it gave me when I attended. Its hard work but so very rewarding. I highly recommend and encourage this spot.

I have previously trained with Professor Bravo and was so happy to see what he has built in Seattle when I visited. The atmosphere here is welcoming and supportive, which makes learning Jiu Jitsu enjoyable and fosters a true team spirit of students helping each other learn. Professor has a very practical approach to Jiu Jitsu and incorporates traditional techniques with sports psychology to really sharpen your skills. The instruction even includes meditative, relaxing breathing. I was also offered a loaner kimono to make my training session seamless and easy. Professor Bravo is incredibly knowledgable and also a great teacher. Lotus is definitely the best place in the Seattle area to train and learn Jiu Jitsu.

This program has helped me heal from bodily injuries in a fun, challenging and most of all: safe. The instructor pays close attention to each student to bring out their best, always taking into consideration the main purpose of their learning. I highly recommend this to the our youth to become physically strong and mentally sharp. Thank you Lotus Jiu Jitsu

I’ve been bringing my family (of 5) here for quite some time now and the training we have received has been excellent. The professor and his family hold the highest respect for family and training and they have far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a place to better yourself, your body and your mind as well as learning how to defend yourself, look no further!

Ive been training here for about 4-5 months. Ive done Jui Jitsu for about 5 years.I Cant recommend them enough.Theyre very friendly and welcoming. They welcomed me and my 2 year old (!) In for training and we instantly felt at home. Weve been growing together and after a couple months of that i joined their group classes in the mornings.They do private and group lessons, and both are excellent. We typically work specific techniques for about half the class, and then spend the other half working on specific positional rolling.The professor is an awesome person, fun to talk to, gives great feedback while training, and spends time on you as an individual. He also helped me build my patio!Lotus has an active and fun community that talks through whats app, and as covid ends is planning multiple tournament trips.Overall a great place to train and make friends.

Our 4 yr old son and 6 yr old daughter have had such an amazing experience here. Teaches young children self-defense, resiliency, and work ethic. I feel so fortunate to have found Lotus Jiu Jitsu for them. Professor is patient and professional. Trust them completely to have a positive impact.

5/5 100% of the time. Professor Bravo is knowledgeable, fun, encouraging yet serious with training. His teaching style is absolutely transparent and philosophical. I have to say Lotus and Professor Bravo are high quality elements to learning your next martial art form. I love it.

We are so lucky to have found Lotus Jiu Jitsu. Professor teaches with a lot of sincerity and respect for the tradition while still making it fun for the kids!!! I like the family-oriented culture. Our kids love it and have gained new skills and new friendships since starting here.

Cant express in words how much I appreciate the professor and his classes. Started just a few months before the pandemic hit and we enjoyed the classes. He allows the students to go at the pace they are comfortable with. We joined as a family with my youngest in the kids class and then my teenage son and I in the adult class. When the pandemic hit we realized what quality people were working with. His professionalism and concern for safety is top notch but his care and concern for his people impressed me the most. He offered safe family classes. Sanitized the areas between classes. Masks are worn consistently and before entering the Matt hands and feet are Sanitized. He and his family are friendly, welcoming, encouraging. I appreciate the classes and the art of Jujitsu but it is the people that help me Love it.

El profe, Professor Enrique Bravo”, has over 25 years in Jiu Jitsu Business. Over the last year in particular, I have had the great distinction to learn, with and for Professor Bravo and his family of 4. Hint, hint... very family friendly environment. We have drilled, rolled and seen lil kiddos roll like KungFu Pandas on and off the mats on many occasions, I luv it! and so NOT I’m tough, I’m buff and hear me roar gym environment. We have mothers and their youngin’s here!!! We have FAMILIA where I learned things that I will take forward with me as a Jiu Jitsuka and a humble human being for the rest of my life. Thanks Profe... and for those still reading this, if you have ever had the audacity to check your intersectionality on issues on social justice, feminism, science and the application of Sun Tzus Art of War, then this would be the place to start that journey.Ps. He loves his tamales. Loves his cafecito. And loves his Beacon Hill. All in all a great community asset, and so honored to call him a friend.

One day, my son told me he wanted to learn how to fight. After researching many martial arts programs, our family came across Lotus Bjj. The core values/positive philosophy of this program along with the splendid experience and background of Professor Enrique aligned with what we were looking for in a dojo for our son.My son began classes earlier this summer and we have already noticed his confidence, agility and passion for health unfold. We really enjoy the camaraderie, exercise and positive influence in our son’s life; especially during the challenging pandemic.I highly recommend Lotus Bjj because of their focus on health and safety, personal growth, the stellar/experienced Professor and because it is so good for my son’s soul and wellbeing. Best of all, he loves it!Thank you Lotus Bjj!

I travel a lot for work and it can be hard for me to find places that are willing to take travelers as new students. Not Lotus, they welcomed me with open arms and were extremely accommodating, they asked me what I was training for instead of just folding me into a curriculum. Professor Bravo has one of the best teaching styles Ive ever had the fortune of learning under. Theres many things that Ive improved on and learned just from my short time training here and I look foreword to continuing my journey when I eventually make it back from working.Lotus isnt just a place to learn Jiu Jitsu. Its a community and a family, dedicated to the lifestyle and teachings of the gentle art.

Professor Bravo is a great jiujitsu practitioner and teacher. His teaching style is effective for everyone of all ages, skill level, and ethnic backgrounds. He ensures the academy has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where everyone can feel safe to train. Whether you’ve been training for 10+ years or never trained before, stop by for your free trial lessons you won’t regret it.

The instructions, care, and attention here are all top-notch. I could not recommend more highly!

Great teacher, my Bjj has really improved since Ive started training at Lotus.

I’m relatively new to jujitsu and I have had an awesome experience here. They are very accommodating and the people I’ve met are very welcoming.

Oss. Lotus BJJ has been the greatest experience. Professor is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and caring. Professor is able to communicate complex movements and make them easier to understand. Lotus BJJ has been soooooo welcoming. From when you first step on the mats you can’t help but feel like you belong. All people that Professor trains are stand up people. Incredibly respectful. Aside from all the things I have said above it’s also an amazing workout. You feel so invigorated after just a single session. Lotus BJJ has been absolutely the best thing for me and my family (both my daughter and myself train). If you’re looking to better yourself in confidence, strength, flexibility, conditioning or self defense you cannot find a better place than Lotus BJJ.

I lucked out when I found Lotus Jiu Jitsu. When I walked in for my first Jiu Jitsu class as a fresh white belt with zero formal training I was relieved to find out Professor Bravo has a teaching style that accommodates all levels of skill. The environment and other students there are very welcoming and make you feel part of the Lotus family. As a beginner, I would highly recommend this place!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE

Quality training from a dedicated teacher. Ive known Mr. Enrique for many years now, and have had the honor of getting private lessons from him when he was first starting out. The man is dedicated to his craft and has a real gift for getting you to understand not just how to do certain techniques, but why they work in that particular situation. Hes also just a good person in general. He says what he means, and means what he says. People like that are rare these days. Highly recommended.

It was a highly technical and intense rolling session. Professor Enrique was very down to earth. I’m a mid-level white belt and felt included while learning. The professor creates a family environment for us to train!

I have trained quite a few places on my BJJ journey but training at Lotus Club feels like a forever home. The small class size, Close knit family vibes, and incredible competition experience of professor Enrique has helped me improve leaps and bounds and meet great friends while doing it. The professor and his wife are on a mission to improve the community through BJJ and I can say personally I look forward to every class and wake up with a smile on days I get to train. Come train here you won’t regret it.

Great organization and talent. A great place to refine your skills and to learn self-defense. Excellent professionalism. The owners are committed to their business.

Great small family owned gym. Classes are small enough for you to interact with the professor. Best closest thing to private lesson.

Don’t hesitate to go and check out Lotus Seattle if you have a chance. Professor Enrique is very knowledgeable and a great teacher of the art. I have trained with him in the past and was able to learn very well with his direction. If you’re considering trying out BJJ, I have a 100% confidence that Professor Enrique will take care of you!

Professor Bravo is a great educator and can work with a variety of skill levels. His attention to detail and compulsiveness with cleanliness towards health protection is a very important facet to me beyond the training itself. I would definitely recommend him to beginners as well as advanced learners.

Absolutely love Lotus Jiu Jitsu. I was a bit afraid to try this at first but I completely fell in love with the practice and how supportive everyone was here. Whether you’ve practiced Jiu Jitsu before or if you’re new, I’d recommend giving this place a try.

The black belt professor here is an amazing leader, Ive had the honor of training with him for some time. He explains technique extremely well where its understandable to all levels. If youre beginning or continuing your BJJ path I would suggest training here.

This is a great place to train. It has a wonderful sense of community and professor Bravo really cares about your growth as an individual. I would recommend this dojo to anyone looking to starting BJJ. Also its family and kid friendly.

A great place to train. The workout was challenging and fun! A place where respect and family are a core principle.

I was a student of Professor Enrique at Lotus BJJ in NYC. He is an excellent instructor, highly technical but easy to understand, plus a seasoned competitor who has the real-world expertise to help you develop your game.More importantly, he treats each student with respect and intentionality, no matter who you are and what your abilities are starting out. This is not a place to smash or else get smashed. This is a place where competition-level BJJ skills are linked to a philosophy of uplifting and empowering those around us. Trust me when I say thats rare.

I highly recommend Professor Enrique. I started my Jiujitsu Journey with him back in NYC. He was very encouraging and passionate about helping me understand the fundamentals of the sport. He also introduced Jiujitsu to my 4 year old daughter and she loves it.

Incredible workout, high quality training, real family atmosphere. Love taking my 5yo and 2.5yo daughters to train as well.

Professor Bravo is a focused driven family oriented person and treats his work the same way. I trust that I will receive a full core body training, while also learning how to release my mind & stresses.

Professor Bravo is very knowledgeable and amazing instructor about jiu jitsu. He is very dedicated human being and nice guy. We been training together almost 10years at Lotus Bjj NYC. Now he started new journey at Seattle. Lucky to all who stay with bravo and train with him. Highly recommanded! Osss

Highly recommend the whole team, but special shout out to Profe Enrique! I hadnt done martial arts since I was a kid, but felt both challenged and welcomed.

Professor Enrique coached my nieces and I have seen the incredible impact it has made for them not just as competitors but as empowered, confident young womyn!!! They were given vital tools for increasing theirStrength. For Dealing with stress. And GREATLY enhanced the real life survival skills tested in the NY Jiu Jitsu scene. #proudaunt #proudtia #ColombianJiuJitsu #ColombianJiuJitsu #ColombianosEnSeattle#SeattleBJJ #Family #Womyn #Empowerment #SelfDefense
