Impact Hood River

Great rolls and good people! Came for a drop in class and was welcomed with hospitality from Ryan. Everyone in the room had great energy and warm attitudes. Really nice mats and facilities, and the sauna is a game changer!
Come train here, this place is a great example of what the Jiu Jitsu community is all about.

I can’t say enough good things about Ryan. He’s a kind and patient teacher with an unbelievable amount of knowledge. This gym has created a culture of genuinely kind and friendly people who treat each other with respect and help each other learn. I highly recommend this gym.

Positive: Professionalism
Amazing place to train with incredibly knowledgeable coach’s. Great all around vibe with zero ego. Highly recommend head coach Ryan and Impact Jiu jitsu as your place to find your inner ninja and amazing like minded people.

Ryan's knowledge, expertise and passion are only surpassed by his ability. Great place to learn. Great place to grow. Come and join a solid community of practitioners that are welcoming and generally all around good people.

I was looking for a way to learn a new skill and exercise. Before joining, I asked around and heard stories that there's a great community there that is very supportive for all skill levels. Though, I had a concern about my health which lead me to procrastinate joining for some time. The owner of the gym, Ryan, spoke with me and encouraged me to give it a try for a few months.
I came to learn that many of the training partners I have today also deal with some health factor, some similar to mine. That through the art of Jiu Jitsu, we've been able to train in a way where we support each other and

Positive: Communication, Quality
I have been training here for years. It is a great place to train whether you have just started training or have many years under your belt (no pun intended). Ryan is a skilled practioner and teacher. Give him a call.

Positive: Quality
I have been training here for a few years and plan to do so for many years to come. The head coach, Ryan, has a wealth of technical knowledge and the ability to break things down in a very digestible way even for beginners. I am lucky to have a gym like this in such a small town.

I've trained at a few gyms, and this one stands out from the others in my mind.... not simply because of the expert instruction that is there, but the fact that its a very warm and welcoming community; Its a family really, and its whats been missing for me in my bjj journey when i first started. i feel lucky i found this place.
If your looking for somewhere to call home, get fit and get confident, and ultimately learn some self defense along the way, come check this place out. It might just change your life like it did mine.

Just started training as a complete beginner here a few months ago and am amazed at how welcoming and helpful everyone has been. The gym is always clean. There are classes or open mat sessions everyday of the week. The owner and head coach Ryan is the man. He is not only very skilled at Jiu Jitsu but also great at breaking down techniques and explaining them step by step. Highly recommend giving it a try even if you are hesitant because you'll probably have a great time.

I have been training with this club since 2016. The coaches always welcome new members and work to create an open atmosphere for learning.
For the advanced belts we have a good time getting after it and rolling hard. As a law enforcement officer this training has helped me multiple times on duty to control a subject and reduce the risk of injury to all parties involved.
The main point we remember each round is that the most important person on the mat is your partner; take care of your partner and don't hurt them!
