Great training facility with quality talent and welcoming environment. I travel a lot and really appreciated the hospitality of this great gym. The facility is well organized and well kept. The professors were welcoming and the students are of very high caliber. Highly recommend Gustavo and his team. Will definitely be coming here whenever in Portland.

If you’re looking to compete Gus is a general strategist, creating an army of jiu jitsu competitors. I’ve made some of my best friends and learned a lot. Great and welcoming atmosphere.

My kids joined BTT's kids program in January after spending a few months at a different gym and the difference for them has been night and day. We knew from the first class that there was a level of intentionality in the children's program that was unmatched by other local programs. Ours kids have grown leaps and bounds in both their technical abilities as well as in their confidence. All of the coaches and assistants (and admin!) have been phenomenal - from the moment they greet the kids at the beginning of class to the technical training and games, super thankful to have great coaches investing in our kids.

As an almost 50 year old, I had a bit of trepidation in trying Brazilian jiu-jitsu (or any martial arts). I’ve been attending about two classes a week as well as an occasional private class for a few months. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with Gus, his team, and my fellow students. Gus fosters an atmosphere of collaboration, mutual respect, safety, trust, and enjoyment. I always look forward to attending and highly recommend.

My son who is seven joined the Top Team Happy Valley gym about seven months ago. It’s the highlight of his week. I am amazed of how many skills that he learns in class benefits his everyday life outside of class. He’s puts forward more FOCUS and effort then I have ever seen. I am truly convinced this is the best thing for him. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring for each kids individual personality and needs. His confidence and determination have improved drastically. I can’t recommend it more.

This is where my family will grow roots. I have been doing jiu jitsu for 5 years. My kids have been doing jiu jitsu for almost a year. I used to have to pull them out of the house to go train but ALL that changed when I switched to BTT. My wife even started training and is loving it. The atmosphere is light hearted, and fun which is great for the kids. The kids programs provides the perfect amount of technique training and technical based games to keep the kids engaged for the entire class. It is very well thought out. Respect, focus and discipline are expected when you step on the mat. The professors are all experienced and successful competitors practicing what they preach and their is a TON of colored belts at all ranks ready to help you learn. It is refreshing to step into a program filled with so much passion for jiu jitsu.

My son started Jiu Jitsu a little over 6 months ago as a 4 year old so I was a bit nervous because he was definitely the youngest/smallest in the class. Turns out his size didn't really matter! He really enjoys learning the moves and playing with the class! My son's got a lot of energy and the coach does an amazing job keeping them active and moving! Love the discipline and respect aspect of the sport. PS. The coach and assistants couldn't be better with the kids!! :)

I moved to Oregon a little over a year ago and found this gym. My jujitsu has improved greatly and everyone is very supportive of each other. Gus cares very much about his students and their progression. Also we have a woman instructor (Maria) who is ranked number 1 in IBJFF and just recently took first place at both Brazilian ADCC trials, which makes my heart happy!

Came into this gym 100% a newbie for their free trial week. Loved the attention I was given by the main coach and he paired me up with an upper belt student to take me through the ropes from stretching all the way to the end. I had plenty of experience in a physical competitive sport(boxing) but was a fish out of water on the mat and at 33 years old you feel weird asking for help but the coaches made sure to take it from the very top and teach me the fundamentals which was so appreciated. Been there for 6 months now and super impressed by their commitment to their BJJ family.

This place has the whole package. aesthetically the gym is beautiful. And I just can’t say enough about this place.

BTT PNW & jiu jitsu has made such a positive impact on our family. My 7 year old son came for a 1 week trial a year ago and we've never looked back. The environment the coaches create attracts like-minded students/members so the vibe and energy is always great and feels like home. You can tell everyone at the gym is passionate about teaching and learning and so it never feels like a business. Flash forward to today and our entire family is training due to realizing the mental and physical benefits of this style of martial arts. They offer an affordable family pricing option to incentivize learning as a family.

I brought my son in after having to take him out of school during the pandemic. He lacked self confidence and didn’t have many friends. Flash forward almost 3 years and he has learned to be self confident and most of his best friends have come from BTT. All the the coaches truly love what they do and want to see everyone succeed. I cannot recommend BTT enough to anyone. It has been such a positive experience for my whole family.

Started here in Jan 22 The coaches here have created a very positive family friendly environment for their students to learn. They have a watchful eye especially when there are children or new people are on the mats. They have a lot of patience, empathy and great understanding of the Sport of Jiu Jitsu. You can tell these coaches love their job! The family membership allows me, my 2 sons and my niece to experience Jiu Jitsu together, and there’s not a lot of sports that you can do that. This is a great way to increase core strength and cardio stamina while learning a sport that teaches you self defense. Would definitely recommend trying a class. Paris Bakkum

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Brazilian Top Team Happy Valley and Oregon City! All kids and adults should learn Brazlian Jiu Jitsu (the gentle art). Coaching and comradery are two of the most important aspects in a gym. When you join Brazilian Top Team, you join a family. Gus and his Coaching Team are incredible. They foster a team environment, are well trained, understand all aspects of the sport, communicate well, are hands on, cater to the needs of their students and focus on safety. This translates from the top down through all their students. The kids program is TOP NOTCH! They make the program fun and exciting for the kids. They always have a ton of coaches on the mats working hands on with the kids to make sure they are learning the moves correctly, are safe and most importantly having fun. We looked at other BJJ academies and are so grateful we chose Brazilian Top Team Happy Valley and Oregon City. My kids LOVE coming here. I can't say enough positive things about Coach Gus and his academy.

I have trained at BTT Happy Valley (on and off) since 2016. For the duration, I paid $75 a month to get coaching from top level Jiu Jitsu coaches twice a week. Personally, I believe that is one heck of a deal! Every coach I worked with at BTT was awesome. They definitely know their stuff and are solid instructors. Plus, they have tons of experience competing in both MMA and grappling and really care about martial arts as a sport and a way to live a better life. You will see reviews about this atmosphere being like a family/family friendly and it is...those are not hyperbole. There really is an open and accepting feeling at the gym and it is full of humble hardworking folks. Starting Jiu Jitsu in my late 30's was not the easiest thing and I am really glad I did it at BTT. I recently had to cancel my membership due to life with young kids, and it was with a good amount of sadness that I did. If anything, I came away wishing I would have been more involved. I would highly recommend the gym and hope to be back some day to continue training.

I'm glad I found BTT Happy Valley. The people there are super cool (generally true of most BJJ folks) and it's a professionally run academy with a lot of knowledge among both students and professors. I looked at multiple different options for BJJ and Martial arts - BTT is right in the ballpark with everyone else in terms of price and membership options, there's plenty of flexibility there. And frankly if BTT was a few bucks more than everyone else, it wouldn't matter to me. I see what the product is, and it's quality. Everyone I've met there is extremely helpful and patient with a beginner like me. The classes are well structured, there is no wasted time. Classes begin on time and end on time. Techniques are demonstrated and explained with precision. The staff watches what goes on, nobody is being left to their own devices to just kind of figure it out. It is a safe environment, you're not going to get paired up with a training partner who's trying to prove something on the mats at your expense. You can come in not knowing anything, and you're going to learn something and get a great workout at the same time. One of the reviews posted asserts you "Have to buy their stuff." I guess I missed that part, as I spent the first several weeks wearing a Gi that isn't BTT branded and nobody had a problem with it. I'll say this on that topic - there's another very prominent national BJJ academy which has a location in the metro area - and they are the ones who insist you buy multiple pieces of equipment with their branding on it. BTT doesn't do that, you can buy their stuff if you want but there's no "up selling" that goes on here. And I have a couple BTT Gis now, they're quality and I'm proud to wear them. I can't say enough positive things about BTT Happy Valley, it's been a great fit for me.

This gym has changed my life in ways that I cannot describe. My mental health from being in such a positive up-lifting environment has never been better. My physical health is getting closer and closer everyday to where I dreamt it would be at when I started training at BTT. There are many opportunities every time you walk through those doors and get greeted by the friendly faces to challenge yourself and become better. Better physique, better attitude, better energy, and better relationships. BTT has given me the opportunity to become apart of a community that all has similar goals and ambitions. Be a better version of you. Lots of classes on the schedule if you can only do mornings or after noons they most definitely have something for you. Not to mention the diversity of the place, you have lawyers, doctors, firefighters, truck drivers, pizza makers, you name it! They all train under the same roof. The gym and environment is also very clean and has a huge open space with a wider variety of work out equipment that you always get one on one training with.

When I returned I was welcomed back with open arms, and I was impressed with the progress the gym and students had made during my absence. The gym has always been a good place to train, yet they keep striving to improve. Everyone from the coaches to students have a growth mindset. Making each other better and building each other up is a high priority for everyone at the gym. I would highly recommend BTT Happy Valley to anyone.

Super sad about our experience we just had at this place. I signed my 5 and 9 year old up for a trial class on line, and then tried 3 or 4 times to reach someone on the phone to talk about what to expect, what to bring, etc. Never had anyone answer the phone anytime I called, And even though the coach said he got my message, he didn't try to call me back. We showed up for the class and were told by coach Gus that it was not age appropriate for them, He said my son might get to do the next class in an hour, but my daughter would have to go to a Monday or Wednesday class, so he wanted my kids to sit and watch for an hour while the other kids had their class. When I told him I tried calling for a couple days to check about the class, he just shrugged his shoulders and said he was not that good with the phones. We sat on the sidelines watching for about 20 minutes, my 5 year old was in tears knowing she could not do any classes that night, and although my son was very interested in it and might have been able to do something in an hour in the next class, I couldn't keep my daughter another 45 minutes and wait for the other class to start, so we just ended up leaving.

I hesitate to write a review because we only had one experience here, but it was surprisingly negative. My son has never done martial arts before and came in for a free trial class. They said hello to him and directed him to the class. He was in a group of 30 kids with 2 adults, (I think there was a third adult that was supposed to be part of the group, but he just walked back and forth and never interacted or spoke to any kids.) My son followed along with the group for the warm ups, and then after demonstrating a hold to the group, they partnered everyone up to roll. He was quickly put in a choke hold where he couldn't talk, and since he didn't know about tapping, he just had to endure it as the kid tightened up on him. The kid kept choking him until my son's neck made such a loud cracking sound, he let go of him out of surprise. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but I was shocked they wouldn't explain basic concepts like tapping to a brand new student, and just let them roll with no instruction. We've since found and joined another gym, and the experience there was night and day. In the first class, the instructors introduced themselves and talked with my son, checked in with him multiple times during the lesson, and spent a good amount of time talking through basic skills like how to fall properly (AND tapping!) before allowing him to roll. EDIT: We attended the 5:00 GI class on March 13th at 5:00. We called ahead of time for the best class to try out, and your staff recommended we sign him up for that class because of his age, and told us the coaches could work with him even though he was a beginner. He was introduced to the coaches as a beginner, which also gave them an opportunity to modify their practice or decline to work with him if they thought the class was inappropriate. Also, as I said, I hesitate to tear down a business, but the way an owner deals with a negative review tells you a lot about the way they manage their business. You said in your response: "Makes me wonder if you signed him up for the wrong class. Since we don’t actually let new kids live roll at first so that seems a little strange. Normally that’s the first thing we do if we are working any submissions. There is no way your son made it through the drilling without being talked about it. Sounds like a fake comment from someone who never came in." I agree, it all sounds strange, which is why I wrote this review to let you know. You chose to discredit and attack me instead of investigating how you could do better in the future.
