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 95 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
Please join Impact Jiu Jitsu Hood River for a seminar with Impact Jiu Jitsu founder Michael Chapman. Michael, a 5th Degree Black Belt, began his Jiu Jitsu journey in 1991 while living in Japan. When Michael returned to Oregon in 1993, he brought with him a passion for ground fighting. At the time, there was little known locally about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Michael pulled together training partners and they began to learn what they could through books, videos, and seminars with Brazilian Black Belts such as Rickson Gracie and Rigan Machado. Michael met his coach, Chris Haueter, in 1997 and was presented with his purple belt. In 1998, he moved from the garage gym (Lost Park Society), into what became the first Impact Jiu Jitsu in Beaverton. Michael’s family joined in his passion over time, including his wife Tracy. Now a 2nd Degree Black Belt, Tracy will accompany him with the seminar. We hope to see you in beautiful Hood River on September 7!
