Combat Arts Academy

Combat Arts Academy has been part of the Delridge neighborhood in Seattle since 2012, starting as West Seattle Fight and Fitness before evolving into its current form. The gym is shaped by a diverse team, including head coach Sonia S. and a crew of dedicated instructors like Sarah Silan, Joseph Park, and Ryan Foley, each bringing their own experience to the mat. The academy’s roots are in building a supportive, inclusive environment, treating the gym as a second home where people from all backgrounds are welcomed. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Combat Arts Academy covers both gi and no-gi formats, with a clear structure for progression. Adult students can train fundamental and advanced techniques in gi classes, take on no-gi sessions, or join competition prep under instructors like Joseph Park and Sarah Silan. For women, there are dedicated intro and level 2 classes led by Sarah Silan, providing a focused space to train. Kids start in age-specific groups, with youth classes for ages 5–7 and juniors for 8 and up, overseen by coaches such as Ryan Foley and Sarah Silan. Regular open mats give everyone a chance to get more rounds in outside of structured class time. The schedule also includes Muay Thai, strength and conditioning, and seasonal offerings like summer camp, making the academy a hub for martial arts beyond just BJJ. Drop-ins are welcome, and the gym’s location on Delridge Way makes it accessible for students from Seattle and neighboring areas. The academy’s approach—balancing technical instruction, inclusivity, and a variety of training options—reflects its long-standing commitment to martial arts in Seattle.
