Inertia Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Inertia Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is led by Professor Justin Bendsneyder, who began training in the 1990s inspired by early Royce Gracie matches. After over a decade of full-time training and earning his black belt from Keisuke Andrew in 2017, Justin opened the academy in Vancouver, Washington, in 2018. His focus is on sharing a comprehensive BJJ skill set while encouraging students to realize their full potential both on and off the mats. Justin’s teaching style emphasizes detailed technique breakdowns and contextual understanding, making complex moves accessible for all levels. The academy’s curriculum blends gi and no-gi training, starting with beginner-friendly classes such as BJJ 101 and Fundamentals to build a solid foundation. Women’s classes provide a dedicated space for female practitioners, while advanced and competition team sessions cater to those preparing for tournaments or looking to refine their game. Open mat sessions are available regularly, giving students extra time for live rolling and drilling outside of scheduled classes. Additionally, the program includes MMA elements to support cross-training in takedowns and striking for students interested in broader combat sports. Inertia welcomes drop-in students and visitors, making it accessible for travelers or locals from nearby areas like Camas and Washougal. The academy operates from an ADA-compliant facility, ensuring wheelchair accessibility. By offering both gi and no-gi formats under one roof, Inertia provides a versatile training environment that accommodates a wide range of grappling interests without requiring students to choose between different gyms.
