Impact Jiu Jitsu was founded in 1998 in Beaverton, Oregon. Since that time, we have watched Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts grow exponentially in popularity and exposure. We are proud to say that Impact has kept up with the times.
Today, we are the home to more than 100 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belts. We are one of the best and largest academies of our kind in the Northwest. We have achieved this while continuing to maintain the core values that have made us who we are: excellent class content, outstanding coaching, strong ties to our communities, and a very close social network of trusted friends.

Upcoming Events
Knee cut fundamentals workshop. Covering various entries, proper positioning, finishing the pass and dealing with common defenses. Set your New Years Resolution now to compete at this Northwest favorite! Ground Warrior is a stand-alone Jiu Jitsu tournament that follows Sub League’s classic submission-focused rules and round-robin format. Save the dates and plan to sign up early. Registration will open November 2025. Accept no compromises. Between power and conditioning. Between strength and flexibility. Between being an athlete and looking like one. Enter the kettlebell—the only training tool able to deliver all aspects of extreme fitness with no compromises. No-one knows how to wield this tool better than StrongFirst, the kettlebell ground zero. Taking the Kettlebell 101 workshop is like walking into the pages of Pavel’s ground-breaking book Kettlebell Simple & Sinister. You will learn the kettlebell exercises that deliver great gains while having the steepest learning curve: The day after the workshop you will be able to hit the ground running towards your goals. Once you have reached the impressive yet realistic “Timeless Simple” standard, you have choices to make. Stay on a monastic diet of swings and get-ups, slowly chipping away at “Sinister.” Or try something “same but different”: the snatch plus the clean and military press, the classic Rite of Passage. The Snatch is “the Tsar of the kettlebell lifts.” Thanks to more muscles working and twice the distance travelled, it accomplishes even more than the esteemed swing. Achieve total body explosive power, ruthless conditioning, and a vice like grip. Burn fat like never before. All with a lighter kettlebell—save space in your home, car trunk, or deployment kit. Once we have taught you the skills with our usual attention to detail, we will send you off to succeed with a Strong Endurance™ snatch plan. The one-arm Clean-and-Press will rival any other pressing exercise when it comes to shoulder strength and muscular development. It is untouchable when it comes to shoulder health, thanks to its ergonomic perfection. The military press comes equipped with the “Rite of Passage” type programming—possibly the most reliable progression ever. Three versions of the ROP—“Jurassic,” “907 Hypertrophy,” and “Heavy”—will keep you gaining for a long time. Kettlebell 201 ROP sets high goals—and gives you the skills and the roadmap to reach them. Do you have what it takes? Sign up and power to you! Save the date! Impact Jiu Jitsu McMinnville’s 3rd Annual Adult Open Mat will take place on Saturday, April 18.
