I have been going to the academy for 3 months now, and the experience has been great! I have been learning Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) there which is taught by experienced teachers. We are given instruction in the traditional Thai Boxing form and at the same time it is a fantastic workout for the body. Since it is part of the Elite Thai Boxing Association, the school follows a regulated curriculum which ensures that we learn the proper techniques and do that in a safe environment. Also, being a student here means I can go to any Elite Thai Boxing Academy for practice / lessons as per my convenience.

I started training BJJ here at age 49, after watching my daughter train forabout three months. Now, about 16 months later, at age 51, I'm still going strong and enjoying training (so is my 10 year old daughter!). Professor Ruff is an excellent instructor to train under and is awesome with the kids. That's one of the things that first impressed me about him. And he's probably forgotten more jiu-jitsu than I will ever learn. Coach Phi and Coach Michael also bring the same level of commitment to the gym and are very invested in everyone's success. Everyone at Ruffhouse Jiu-Jitsu is friendly and unassuming. All egos are checked at the door here and it is a very welcoming place to begin your jiu-jitsu journey and the training is topnotch.

I love this gym! I’ve been going here for about half a year, but my family’s known the owner for a while. I take classes in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Balintawak, and I love them all. The community here is great and fellow classmates are always so supportive, whether you’re brand new or you’re simply moving from another gym. The coaches/professors/teachers are also wonderful, very patient and well-versed in each of their styles. If you’re looking for a gym with a good atmosphere and guarantee of a good workout/ improvement, this is the place to be!

Great place to train and learn multiple martial arts. My kids attend and love the Muy Thai kids class and I attend the Muy Thai adult class and it’s a very great atmosphere. Friendly staff and instructors and would highly recommend this gym.

I am 69 years old. (young ). taking Balintawak. instructor: Raul Tabile he is highly skilled, patient, respectful, creative, honest and committed. when I leave, I am drenched in sweat. I highly recommend Ruff house gym. all of the instructors are highly skilled. honesty, respect, humor, patience, hard work, fun = integrity

Great for beginners and experienced fighters. Awesome coaches and fun environment. I’ve loved the Muay Thai and Balintawak programs here!

Not very welcoming by some of the “experienced” attendees. One instructor for a class of 25ish people and hardly any room to train.

Very welcoming academy. Husband and I are visiting Seattle and dropped into a class. Brandon was a great instructor. Lots of mat space, clean, friendly students. We'll definitely come back if we're in the area.

I dropped in at Ruffhouse to train jiu jitsu for a week while visiting from out of town. I was really impressed by this place- high quality instruction, clean facility, and a very welcoming community. Everyone remembered my name and greeted me warmly each day! It can be intimidating going to a new place as a woman, but I felt very safe with all my grappling partners. Both the noon and evening classes had a wide range of belts present. I can’t wait to go home and try out what I learned! Whether you’re visiting from out of town or looking to become a member, you’re in great hands at Ruffhouse!

Ruffhouse is the best. My daughter and I have been there for a year and we absolutely love it. Great instructors.

Best muay Thai and BJJ gym in the greater Seattle area. Sign up if you can!

Very welcoming academy and professional instruction from Brandon. The 12:00 class was perfect for the wife and I to drop in while visiting the area and meet some more jiujitsu family. I would definitely recommend this place to friends. You can sign your waiver online before class which saves everybody time. Thanks Ruffhouse noon crew for the rolls!

I met arthur through fransisco,he's a very kind, genuine courteous person. I like him alot

My 6yo simply LOVES the bjj classes. It only took one class and he could not wait to go back. Courtney, Brandon, and Arthur are awsome!

This is my favorite community and I'm so thankful for all who are a part of it. The level of respect, care, growth, and challenge here is unmatched! I wish I could give more than five stars!
