My kids have just started and they are loving class. The coaches take their time and do a wonderful job of making sure everyone is engaged.

Shielded Roots has quickly become like a second home to us. The owners, Jeff and Jenny have been nothing but amazing and have taught our son so much in only a couple of weeks. We are so thankful they opened a studio here in Snohomish and we look forward to a long future here!

Our boys attended their first class at Shielded Roots Jiu Jitsu and loved every minute of it! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. Everyone is incredibly family-friendly and supportive, which made the experience even better for the kids.The facility is very clean and well organized, and you can tell they take pride in creating a great environment for learning. The instruction was engaging, positive, and encouraging.We can’t wait for the next class. Excited to be part of the Shielded Roots family! 🥋

I’ve been training with Coach Jenny for about a year and a half, and she is an incredible instructor. She breaks down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, making even complex moves feel approachable. She’s patient, kind, and always encourages students to improve at their own pace. Coach Jenny creates a welcoming and supportive environment while still pushing you to grow and challenge yourself.I’ve also trained a few times with Coach Jeff, and he’s equally awesome — knowledgeable, clear, and encouraging. Both coaches make the classes fun, engaging, and safe, and I highly recommend training with either of them!

My husband, myself and our 18 year old son came into this gym and immediately felt at home. Jeff was so kind and explained everything that we would be doing. We had never done jujitsu before so we were as green as they come. He demonstrated everything and was super helpful throughout class. He made it fun and relaxed and I got a great workout. My partner Aaron was awesome too! It was such a fun experience. We will definitely be back!

I started Jiu Jitsu with coach Jeff and Jenny at 44 years old, 244lbs of if I’m honest with myself more fat than anything else. By doing Jiu Jitsu, I’ve cut down my weight over 50lbs, feel better and more confident. It wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the great people at this gym. If you are on the edge of trying it out, just do it! 100% worth it for my mental and physical health.

Brand new spot conviently located right off HWY9.I've been wanting to try jiu jitsu for quite some time but was intimidated by the atmosphere at the other gyms in the area and the schedule/location just didn't work against my work schedule and other family activities.Shielded roots has an expansive schedule and is the perfect family friended atmosphere. After my first session, I signed up my two kids (6 and 4.5) and they absolutely loved it.They have first responder discounts and we plan on signing up for the family membership!The teaching and instruction is perfectly tailored for all ages and you can have zero worry walking into this gym with 0 jiu jitsu experience (like I did two weeks ago)

Jeff and Jenny run an amazing kids’ (and adult) program, and they have a knack for getting shy (or new) children to come out of their shell on the mats! My 7yo son has completely fallen in love with BJJ, and watching him have so much fun has gotten me immersed in the world of Jiujitsu as well. I’m happy to say that my family has become a “Jiujitsu family,” and that wouldn’t have happened without the friendly atmosphere and years of experience that Jeff and Jenny bring to the table.
