Of course, I'm a big fan of the school at which I train. Foster BJJ is about 20 minutes South of where you're at, in Kent, WA and if you're interested, I'd recommend sending James Foster, the school owner, a quick note. I'm sure you'd be welcome. That said, if you're in West Seattle, Gracie Barra Seattle is definitely the closest school to you that I'm aware of. They're right down in the SODO district, close to the connection of I-5 and the West Seattle Bridge. I've never trained there, but I can say that Rodrigo has a good reputation and they always have well trained, solid competitors at every event. Marcelo Alonso has a school that is in Seattle, but a bit North of downtown, and there's GB Ballard in NW Seattle. Both of these would be a bit further than the GB Seattle location. However you do it, I hope you have a good time in Seattle and get some training in. Ben, thanks for the comment! Of course, I’m a big fan of the school at which I train.

It's tough when the kids are sick, but the entire house grinds to a halt when my wife is sick. She's the glue in our household and things fall apart without her.

The youngest got the flu at my house and then it went through the family. I can count 4 co-workers that have had the same thing either before or just after Christmas. Of the four, two were swine flu. We were better long enough to enjoy Christmas but now all the kids have fevers and coughs now. What is it with the holidays and sickness? All I can say is I'm glad for good doctors, medicine, and the flu shot I got this year that spared me so I could help the rest of the family. Isn’t that the truth!

I am going to be up in Seattle the 12th-19th of January and wanted to know if you could recommend any gyms up in Seattle to train at? We are staying in the West Seattle area. All I have found around there is Gracie Barra. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Ben Steve…thanks for the great blog site.
