Ketchikan Jiu-Jitsu
About Ketchikan Jiu-Jitsu
At Ketchikan Jiu-Jitsu, we bring the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Alaska's First City — a community that knows what it means to work hard, adapt, and support each other. Located at 601 Schoenbar Rd in Ketchikan, we are the home of BJJ in Southeast Alaska.
Ketchikan is one of Alaska's most remote and beautiful communities, accessible only by sea or air. That geography shapes the people who live and train here — and it shapes how we train. Our students come to the mat with the same resilience and grit that defines life in Southeast Alaska, and we channel that into every class.
We offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for adults and youth, emphasizing practical techniques, positional fundamentals, and the kind of training culture that creates real skill over time. Whether you're a fisherman staying sharp in the off-season, a military family stationed nearby, or a lifelong Ketchikan resident looking for a challenge, you have a place on our mats.
The Ketchikan Jiu-Jitsu community is tight-knit by necessity and proud of it. Come train with us and discover why so many Southeast Alaskans have made this their martial arts home.
