BJJ IS FOR EVERYONE. YES, EVEN YOU
Our mission is to provide world-class grappling instruction in an environment where safety and community come first.
At Siri BJJ SW Portland, we believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the ultimate tool for personal growth. Most of our members aren't pro fighters—they are teachers, engineers, parents, and students who wanted a way to get fit while learning a life-saving skill. You don't need to be in shape to start, you start to get in shape.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience to join the beginner class?
Absolutely not. Our Fundamentals Program is designed specifically for people with zero martial arts background. We focus on the basic movements and safety protocols before you ever engage in live training.
What should I bring to my first BJJ class?
Just bring a bottle of water and comfortable athletic clothes (like a t-shirt and shorts). If the class requires a Gi (the traditional uniform), we will provide a clean rental for your first session at no charge.
Is Jiu-Jitsu safe for older adults?
Yes! We have a thriving community of "Masters" athletes (ages 30–60+). Our instructors emphasize technique over athleticism, ensuring you can train hard and still go to work the next morning.
