Sargent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy | SIRI BJJ Walla Walla

Sargent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy | SIRI BJJ Walla Walla was founded by Professor Eddie Sargent, who earned his black belt under Gustavo “Siri” Pires—a top Gracie Barra competitor and respected coach. Eddie’s journey began at Siri BJJ Academy, where years of training and teaching inspired him to open his own school in April 2022. His mission is rooted in providing Walla Walla with a place where individuals and families can develop practical self-defense skills, confidence, and character through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Classes at Sargent BJJ are structured for a wide range of ages and needs. The kids’ program is divided into Junior (8–13) and Kids (4–7) groups, with a focus on discipline, confidence, and age-appropriate technique. Adults and teens (14+) have dedicated gi classes, and there’s a women’s-only class offered regularly, including a special session on the first Saturday of each month. The academy also hosts open mats monthly for teens and adults, welcoming drop-ins and cross-training from visitors. Eddie and his team emphasize safety, technical fundamentals, and personal growth in every class. The lineage from Carlos Gracie Sr. through Helio Gracie to Carlos Gracie Jr., Gustavo Pires, and Eddie Sargent is reflected in the teaching style—traditional, detail-oriented, and supportive. Sargent BJJ is wheelchair accessible and maintains a family-friendly environment, encouraging parents and children to train together and supporting students at every stage of their journey.
