About Us

My daughter and I began training at Sargent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy 25 April 2022, and have attended over 86 classes with Professor Eddie Sargent. At 41, I was worried about the physical demands of training after having been out of shape for so long, and working through physical limitations from military service. The environment that Professor Eddie and his team create, is warm and receptive to the whole family. My daughter started off attending both the kids class, and adult classes with me, so I’ve been able to observe how he and his team interact with all ages. Kids find strength and confidence through Professor Eddie’s world class instruction, while learning discipline through the physical and mental demands of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I’ve found a great personal joy in attending adult classes with my daughter, and witnessing the change in her skill, adaptability, and self-confidence both on the mat and in other aspects of her life. For myself, I’ve lost over 30lbs since April and went from barely being able to complete warm-ups, to being able to complete two classes in a day. Teammates at Sargent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy are a diverse family, who are quick to assist any new/trial member with settling in. Each class we push each other to excel, helping one another strengthen our abilities with each roll on the mat. I highly recommend Sargent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy to anyone interested in giving it a try.

Absolutely amazing place! My daughter loves coming to class! If I could I’d get everyone I know to do it! If I had more time on my hands I’d start in a heartbeat!!

Black belt instruction in every class, every day. A great group of people. An excellent kids program. Team Siri affiliation gets you access to Siri BJJ in Tri-Cities as well.

My 2 boys and I train here. We’ve been going almost a year now. The adults program is amazing. I’ve gotten stronger and lost about 20 pounds so far. It has been amazing for my kids. I’ve seen them grow physically and mentally. It’s amazing how much confidence and discipline it’s given my kids. Not to mention the friends we’ve all made. It feels like family.

I cannot explain how training at Sargent BJJ has benefited my family...besides the obvious self defense and technique stuff...but emotionally and physically and spiritually. My son and I both train and my son has a severe case of turrettes syndrome along with behavioral episodes. In the 7months of training he has had zero violent outbursts and his ticks associated with turrettes has reduced. I have found a beautiful way to connect with my son and professor Eddie is a blessing along with his coaching staff. Thank you Professor Eddie

I have been training at Sargent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since April of 2022 and at 1st I was a little anxious to get back into the sport after training for close to a year in SoCal but my experience here at Sargent BJJ has been nothing but amazing! Eddie, Patrick and all of my other teammates have been encouraging and kind. Everyone here actively helps each other to become better not only at Jiu-Jitsu but in building camaraderie, becoming a family and harboring an environment where people feel comfortable learning the art of Jiu-Jitsu. If you have ever been interested in learning Jiu-Jitsu and you live in Walla Walla or surrounding areas this is the place to train! Hope to see you on the mats!
