Solarte BJJ in Sequim opened its doors at the end of August 2017. We are conveniently located between Port Angeles and Sequim at 1600 Carlsborg Road. Solarte’s mission is to make affordable, high quality jiu-jitsu instruction available to the community. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (also known as submission grappling) and kickboxing are very effective martial arts for self protection. These combat martial arts help students develop grit and resilience. All students—both children and adults—learn by playing training games and sparring (called “rolling” in BJJ). They have a fun time while also getting an amazing workout! At Solarte, we help students understand the “hows and whys” of the skills and concepts we teach. We encourage discussion, creativity and cooperative learning. Instruction is thoughtfully structured and tailored to suit the goals and pace of each student. For example, the concerns and needs of an older athlete looking for a fun hobby can differ greatly from those of a competition-focused student. We adjust accordingly.
Combat martial arts are truly great sports and provide a life changing past time that will reward you for years to come! Training at Solarte connects you to healthy living, lasting friendships and a community that spans the world. Solarte BJJ in Sequim has programs for adults and youth (ages 4+).






Sequim’s First Full-Fledged BJJ Program
Solarte BJJ is the first full-fledged Brazilian Jiu-jitsu program in Sequim, WA with a seven-day schedule offering training for little ones (age 3.5–7), BJJ kids (age 6–8), youth (age 8-15) and adults (age 15+). Solarte is also the premier U.S. affiliate of Island Top Team headed by Rob Biernacki, an innovator who has helped revolutionize the way martial arts are taught. At Solarte, we share the same methods here in Sequim, adjusting language to suit the student, sharing concepts to tie ideas together, and using games to turn concepts into physical skills. We offer a space in which children, men and women can train safely and where open communication is valued and respected!
