The Base Longview

The Base Longview is led by Professors Ryan and Amy Hart, both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts who teach under the CheckMat affiliation. Located in Longview, Washington, the academy occupies over 2,000 square feet divided equally between matted training areas and strength and conditioning equipment. This setup supports a training environment where technical development and physical fitness go hand in hand. The Harts bring more than two decades of combined experience to the gym, emphasizing skill-building and personal growth in their instruction. Training at The Base Longview is structured to accommodate a broad range of ages and skill levels. The kids’ program starts as young as age three with “Tinys” classes focused on basic coordination and discipline through gi training. Progressing through the youth curriculum, students train in both gi and no-gi formats, with fundamentals and advanced classes available. Adults have access to gi and no-gi classes that cover all levels, including a Family FUNdamentals gi class designed to engage parents and children together. Open mat sessions provide additional time for students to drill or spar beyond structured classes. The academy also offers women’s self-defense classes and maintains a pricing structure that supports families and military members through discounts. The Base Longview’s approach centers on steady technical progression, physical conditioning, and fostering respect and humility on the mats. This philosophy is reflected in their careful class design and the dual black belt leadership, which aims to prepare students both for competition and practical application.
