My family has had a poor experience during our session and an extremely poor experience dealing with management.The review of the facility is for the 3-7 year old class:We signed our 3 y/o son up for the 3-7 year old class and did so without a trial session - during our visit of the facility and explanation of the class, we were resolved to have our son start and thought T3MA would be the perfect environment- We paid for the 1st month and GI upfront (+$400 in total fees)The front staff said that the instructor would introduce themselves to our son to soften nerves. Most of the students are closer to 7 than 3, and the class is definitely geared that way as well.Not only did the instructor not introduce themselves (any of them), within a couple minutes of the class starting, there was an immediate frustration that he would take some extra attention relative to the 6 and 7 year olds, and one of the instructors came over and said "If he doesn't start to participate on his own in the next couple minutes, we're going to ask him to sit on the side. We cannot give him special attention over the other students".Large contrast to what was explained. In hindsight we should have done the trial, but the explanation of this class for our 3 y/o son was much more considerate of his age. I'll forever have an image of my son sitting in a line prior to class and saying to me "dad, I'm so nervous", which is frustrating because they did nothing to alleviate that and made it worse as they were agitated that he needed extra attention.To gut check that experience, we then did a trial at a different national chain BJJ facility in Bellevue and had a night and day different experience. The instructor spent a couple minutes with my son prior to class introducing himself, making jokes with him and becoming familiar to each other. The class itself was geared for 3-4 year olds and not 5-7 - there was an expectation that 3 and 4 year olds have limited attention spans and it catered to it. Much better for what we were looking for.Now the management piece - I then asked T3MA if they could treat my 1 and only class as a "free trial" - as they do offer and refund the month we paid for and at least a partial refund of the GI we paid for, since it is specific to T3MA and cannot be used anywhere else. I was told in email essentially "we offer a free trial, you should have done that first" - followed by no response for 7 days upon protest, including not answering or returning phone calls and several email follow-ups, for again them to eventually reply via email and say "you had the option of a free class and didn’t take it, tough luck". I was surprised by the class experience because it didn’t match what was relayed, but I was very surprised by that response and unwillingness to refund any of the $400+ that I was out for my sons single class. Hope this helps families avoid a similar mistake - If you're considering T3MA, definitely do a trial, and more importantly, trial other facilities other than T3MA so you can benchmark the atmosphere and class prior to committing to T3MA.

There is a reason why I train here every time I am in the Redmond area. As a former college wrestler and current BJJ blue belt and high school wrestling coach, grappling has been a big part of my life for the last two decades. Amongst my experiences, the Jiu-Jitsu programs put on by Miriam and Joel at T3MA Redmond offer some of the safest and highest quality training in the area.Classes always start on time, techniques are taught with a level of detail only black belts can deliver, and while sparring can be competitive it never felt dangerous due to vigilant instructors and high amounts of mutual respect between training partners. The students are diverse in both gender as well as age and and it is not uncommon to see classes where the entire family (parents and children) attend. The lack of initiation and cancellation fees reflect their dedication to providing high quality BJJ training without all the other fees and antics typically associated with gym memberships. If I lived in Redmond, this is where I would bring myself and my family to train.

I had a really great trial session for adult Muay Thai at this location. Everyone was very friendly and patient while I learned. It's a little hard for those just starting out, especially with getting good form for punching and kicking technique (which is why I have 4 instead of 5 stars).You will not spar during your first trial session, but you will have an amazing workout, learn some pretty fundamental basics, and a great teacher. The head Muay Thai coach is phenomenal.The prices are extremely cheap for what you're getting (I might even sign up)Try the trial class before jumping into it for sure though!
