Andrew and his team were amazingly warm and welcoming! I am in town for the week and he let me borrow a gi and train at his wonderful facility. 2 showers!!!! Clean, polite people, would suggest to anyone! What a great group of humans.

I highly recommend Mat Chess MMA. I started training there over a year ago and have had a fantastic experience with all the Martial Arts they offer: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Wrestling. Great instructors and training partners.

Visited from out town. Welcomed me with open arms. Andrew and Shawn are great. Fundamentals and teaching methods were very helpful. Learned a lot in just one session.

I was traveling for work and my coach at home mentioned that his student, Andrew, teaches in Seattle. I dropped in to Mat Chess and found the environment to be incredibly welcoming. Andrew is a great teacher and his students are very skilled. Next time I am in Seattle I will be back! I highly recommend Mat Chess.

Andrew is a very knowledgeable jiu-jitsu instructor who explains the mechanics of the sport well, and my jiu-jitsu has gotten a lot better with his help. The Muay Thai classes are always a blast too, with a good focus on proper technique. Mat Chess has been very helpful in improving my martial arts skills, and I would highly recommend their classes!

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.

Amazing coaches that give special attention to each and every student regardless of how busy that classes are. Andrew is a phenomenal instructor with years of experience and actually engages one on one with his students. Andy and the Muay Thai program are just as awesome! Thanks MatChess

Got invited to workout by a friend while I was visiting from out of town. The instructor, Andrew, was a warm, welcoming and gracious host... as were all the students I met. Very chill atmosphere and the lesson was very clearly broken down so even a white belt (me!) from a different gym could slide in seamlessly. Sparing at the end of the lesson was great and I even got to roll with Andrew. Very knowledgeable and very good instructor.

What a great time I had there! This gym is awesome for numerous reason. First, the guys that are training there are good. They are friendly, smart, hard worker and really easy to meet. Then the instructors are great, for both wrestling and BJJ. One more time, they are really easy to meet and they give you their knowledge with pleasure. Finally, the gym is really clean, easy to find, easy to park and there is plenty of space to train. I wish I had more time with you guys!

Dropped in for 2 classes while I was visiting my brother in Seattle. I've been training jiu jitsu for a number of years and have been to several schools across the country having gone to school in different areas. The instructor, Andrew, was very welcoming and provided very technical instruction. Good class vibe and tough rolls. Thank you very much for having me! Based on my time here, I'd recommend training at Mat Chess if you looking for technical jiu jitsu and a really good work out.

This place is Awesomely. Everyone over is friendly and caring about others. The Owner Andrew is really a nice teacher. He is very understanding person. He is giving his students really very good training. Andi, the trainer for Muay thai is also a very good teacher. Thank you for everything!!

I personally wouldn't recommend this place to a friend. A fairly small, poorly ventilated room with a trainer that will give very little instruction. The entire class class just seemed void of any enjoyment.

The gi I was given to use smelled like he had given it to 20 other students before me without washing it a single time. I'd make sure you have one of your own.

Oh and no locker room.. Be prepared to change in a tiny bathroom, where piss gets on the floor and subsequently aborbed onto peoples feet as they change.
