What Our Members Say

"My child has been in their jiu-jitsu classes for over 5 years. She continues to train under the team of patient, compassionate and inspiring coaches. The life skills she has obtained from her training at Street Sports will carry her well into her adult life. She no longer is a victim of bullying, and knows how to stand up for herself. She has a whole new level of confidence. Jiu-jitsu has greatly impacted her ability to focus at school and get better grades. She also has made a whole new group of friends through jiu-jitsu who are a second family. It is an important life lesson for children to be okay with losing and learning how to grow and overcome that. She also is healthier, confident and strong. I could go on and on about how wonderful Street Sports is, but I highly recommend you check it out for yourself!"

Andrea Werren

Academy Parent

"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!"

Stephen Michels

Jiu-Jitsu Student

"What a great gym. Joao is a very welcoming and technical professor. This shows with his students as there are many tough rolls to be had at all belt levels and weight classes. I've trained all around the world and this is easily one of the cleanest and well put together gyms I've trained at. VERY few gyms have the small details that Street Sports has- bottle refill stations, multiple (clean) showers, warm water, good ventilation, kids hangout area.. I honestly was not expecting this in Poulsbo. Highly recommended. Thank you, Joao"

Daniel Trujillo

Black Belt

"I’ve been training at Street Sports for a year and I’d give more stars if I could. As someone who came to jujitsu later in life, I appreciate the owners’, Bonnie and Joao, emphasis on respect, safety, and hard work. It has created a supportive atmosphere where we strive to get stronger and more skilled while also being members of a great community. They are patient teachers with high levels of expertise and offer a range of classes. I can’t recommend them highly enough!"

Mary Sloat

Jiu-Jitsu Student

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. Both the yoga and BJJ classes leave you feeling great and challenged at the same time. 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. Bonnie and Joao have created a special community and I’m so grateful that I started my BJJ practice here!
