Straight up. Which school is the best?

If you want to train gi jiu jitsu, GB Seattle is very hard to beat, IMO. Very, very technical ... small, but with a great atmosphere ... some very tough black and brown belts to train with pretty much every other night ...

That said, there are other good schools in the area: Foster BJ and Brian Johnson's NW Jiu Jitsu a few minutes north of town are two that come to mind.

North works best for me since I'm up in Shoreline. Thanks for the advice!

If you're in Shoreline and looking for a pure BJJ place that's close by, go to NW JJ Academy. Brian is an awesome instructor and a super nice guy.

Thanks for the tip. It's still a little ways away as I'm way up by Ballinger Way in Shoreline, but so far I've heard nothing but good things about the place. Also, I don't think there is any place closer........Think I'll check it out.
