Mission

Summit Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission wrestling club in the Central District of Seattle, Washington. Summit’s mission is to foster a Brotherhood/Sisterhood dedicated to training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the grappling arts for the purposes of physical fitness, mental perseverance, self defense, and competition.  The club is dedicated to helping each and every member attain their personal goals, whatever those may be.

History

Citizen Jiu-Jitsu was founded in 2007 by member Phil Anderson on the main floor of his house on Capitol Hill (photo). The name was eventually changed to Summit Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club in October 2008. The school has steadily grown and recently outgrew this location.

At the beginning of February 2011 the school moved to 954 E Union St, just a few blocks from Seattle University. The location was short-lived due to the rapid development of condominiums in Capitol Hill.

Fast forward to August 2011, the club relocated to the historic Washington Hall building located at 153 14th Ave. The building has undergone a number of renovation over the past few years and is a great space to train Jiu-Jitsu.
