OCTOBER2024-06-18Awesome place, Awesome coach.
Justin Kujava2024-05-27I look forward to coming into Jon’s gym everyday he is a great guy and I have learned so much in the amount of time I’ve been there. This is definitely the place to go, Jon is an amazing teacher in both kickboxing and jiu jitsu
James Powers2024-05-16Coach Jon Cromer is an outstanding Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu trainer. As an older student, I feel fantastic thanks to the aerobic kickboxing workouts. These sessions have significantly improved my balance and flexibility, especially when twisting my body for kicks. I strongly suggest giving ThinkTANK a try if you're looking to invigorate your life. These workouts provide an unmatched experience compared to machine-based exercises. These workouts are fantastic for all age groups (Jon is a coach and trainer for competitive events), but they truly feel like the Fountain of Youth for us older individuals.
Moses Solis2024-03-20Great school with an even better structure! John is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and an overall great person. If you’re looking to start or continue your grappling journey, definitely give this place a try!
Alena Zrnova2024-01-31So far I tried an evening kickboxing class and it was awesome! I had the best sleep in days afterward! 😁 Thank you Jon
val schurpf2024-01-30I'll admit I was a bit intimidated walking into a gym full of guys and had no idea what I was getting myself into but it's a very relaxed atmosphere. John has made my friend and I feel comfortable, he makes sure we understand the moves and he let's us be our goofy selves haha. I recommend this gym to anyone who is interested in kickboxing or Jiu jitsu!
-Krodian-2024-01-19A great vibe: The instructor and students are patient and nice. It's a great environment to learn & enjoy.
Shelton Nielsen2024-01-13Coach John is an expert when it comes to striking and jujitsu. Definitely one of the best to learn from in the area.
Noah Blandford2024-01-11Honestly an amazing instructor with a lot of knowledge and skill. His kickboxing and bjj classes are some of the best I’ve ever taken. I can’t wait to return in spring to train with him again.
Smouve Couve2024-01-04I walked in with my son out of curiosity and i spoke to coach John . Coach John is a super chill laid back individual! Coach John broke down the gym to me and the way they go about in the gym and is a perfect fit for me and my son . My son loves it and the work outs and my son is only 12 and I was surprised he said he had a lot of fun and wants to go back so I will be attending this location as a regular. Keep up the good work coach John! God bless you!
Kickboxing
The absolute best kickboxing classes in Vancouver! With an unmatched value (a non-contract membership is only $110/month + tax!) Other gyms will force you into a contract to get the best rate or require you to buy a bunch of their branded gear. That's not us. Our classes are great for beginners but still can cater to experienced fighters. Whether you're looking for a better workout option that's more fun than cardio or lifting, or you want to compete at a high level, you'll dig what we do!
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Carlson Gracie Team is one of the longest standing and oldest fight teams in the world! Tracing its lineage back through Carlos Gracie, older brother of Heilo, who originally adapted the Judo techniques shown to them by Conde Koma ("Count Combat"), our team has been a pioneer in spreading Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to the masses as well as testing it to the fullest in NHB/No Holds Barred matches throughout the sport's history.
Self-defense is ultimately about awareness and persevering under pressure. We build your ability to become comfortable while being uncomfortable.
On the mats, everyone is accepted and celebrated. The Jiu Jitsu community we create is a place where everyone belongs and learns in a supportive environment.
Aside from the stress relief that comes from a great kickboxing class, I ensure students add footwork, head movement, and strategy to their arsenal of tricks.
"You are what you eat" isn't far off from the truth. When you eat better, you will immediately notice! Learn about easy to implement methods for eating healthier.
SCHEDULE
Our schedule is growing as we get settled into our new location. We are excited to open up inside of 24 Hour Fitness (Palms location) and offer Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, NoGi Grappling, Kickboxing, and Self-Defense to the entire Vancouver, WA area.
Not a 24 Hour Fitness member? Not a problem! You don't have to be to train here.
Join one of the largest teams in Southwest Washington.
With our family school out in Battleground, we have amassed quite the diverse team over all of our time on the mats.
One of the great things about that is the opportunity to train with more body types and belt ranks than if you were part of only one traditional school. When you're part of the family here, you're part of the ENTIRE family!

LINEAGE
PROFESSOR JON
Having spent over a decade and a half on the mats, it was time to put a Black Belt around my waist and stop allowing anyone to jokingly refer to me as a sandbagger.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is known as "The gentle art" and a highly skilled practitioner can give you the world's most gentle beating that you'll ever experience in your life. I like to refer to Jiu Jitsu as "Lazy-people Martial Art" because you can literally incapacitate someone while lying down on your back. This appealed to a couch-potato kid like me, and now I'm literally a Black Belt. Best part, you can be too!
