BJJ in Bellevue

Bellevue is the Eastside's largest city and holds five BJJ academies, making it the second-densest market in Washington after Seattle. The headline name is **10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Seattle** — despite the Seattle branding, this location operates in Bellevue and is the primary Eddie Bravo affiliate for the Eastside. The remaining four are independents: T3MA of Bellevue, Warrior Strength Martial Arts, Nyam-Ochir Training Center, and Synapse Jiu Jitsu. Bellevue sits roughly 15 minutes east of Seattle across Lake Washington via I-90 or SR-520. The Eastside tech corridor (Amazon, Microsoft, Meta) drives enough membership demand that Bellevue can support a standalone scene rather than just overflow from Seattle. Kirkland, Redmond, and Issaquah each have Gracie Barra locations nearby, so students on the Eastside have both independent and chain options within a short drive. Dues run $140–$195/mo for adult unlimited at most Eastside academies.
