I have been training in mixed martial arts for over a decade now, and visited Mat Chess today for the first time. It offers excellent Brazilian Jiujitsu and wrestling instruction, with high percentage techniques taught with attention to detail. The instructors are skilled, friendly, and helpful. Also, their kick boxers were some of the best I've seen in the state thus far.
I try to visit Mat Chess when ever I'm in Seattle . They have great programs for BJJ, wrestling and Muay Thai. Andrew is a great instructor and I always pick up some valuable knowledge during his classes. What I really like about Mat Chess is the laid back, friendly environment. If I lived in Seattle, it would definitely be my second home. Thanks for the great training guys.
Great gym with a great staff. Andrew runs a tight ship at Mat Chess. Very supportive and involved coaching staff there. They have a great BJJ program and an amazing Muay Thai program as well. The atmosphere is very humble and focused. No major ego's in this gym. Everyone knows their place and it makes the learning experience that much more fruitful. All the coaches have a deep and very technical understanding of their craft and make no reservations on dispensing knowledge. Mat Chess is doing big things. Keep it up!
When people ask about Mat Chess as a gym, I always say the same thing; it's a tough gym that will train you to a competitive level, but with a very chill and respectful culture. Some of the best grapplers in the world train here. The level of detail and instruction is top notch by all three coaches and their specialties of BJJ, Muay Thai, and wrestling. Awesome place to train.
Great group of fighters that took the time to take in a Norwegian stray for a great session. Would come back any time, and recommend anyone in the area to stop by for some good martial arts workouts :)
Andrew and his team are true gentleman. Very classy place, with top-level level instruction. Thank you for the hospitality!
