What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Jiu-Jitsu comes from the Japanese words meaning "gentle art." It is a self-defense system that promotes dominating the opponent without aggression and with technique and leverage instead. In addition to learning how to defend yourself, the benefits of Jiu-Jitsu are numerous and include discipline, confidence, cardiovascular health and muscular strength.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be started and practiced regularly by all ages and body types as no athletic experience is required. Our mission is to guide each practice safely and teach classes that create opportunities for physical, mental, and emotional growth.

“I cannot recommend Street Sports Poulsbo enough. The gym is super clean, top notch classes and all of the students and instructors create a welcoming environment. It was important for me to find classes that have a community of women and this gym not only has that, and also has classes dedicated to teaching women self defense skills.”

"Jiu Jitsu has been life changing for our family. It’s become a part of our shared identity and has not only made us all more resilient, it’s brought us closer together. The staff at Street Sports is incredible, and the community feels more like family than acquaintances. If you’re considering giving it a try, you will not be disappointed!"
