Steven Galvez spent 20 years in the Army, where he was introduced to jiu-jitsu, before opening Logic Jiu Jitsu Club in Tacoma in late 2019. It's a single, veteran-owned academy that teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu to adults and kids in a 4,500-square-foot facility, and it describes itself as “family-oriented” and open to everyone “from those who want a laid-back experience to ultra competitors.” Kids train in their own beginner, advanced and competition classes. Upbeat music plays through the gym during training.
The black belts trace back through one line. Galvez and Jon Taft are black belts under Professor Aaron Martin, a 3rd Degree Black Belt under Marcelo Alonso, and all three teach at the club.
Adult classes switch between gi and no-gi through the week. There's a 6 am class every weekday, a longer midday gi class on Monday and Wednesday, evening classes Monday to Friday and a Saturday morning gi class. A women's class meets on Thursday evenings. The club says adult jiu-jitsu is for “men and women of all shapes and sizes” and aims to teach self-defense while helping each student reach their own goal, whether that's losing weight, building self-confidence or competing. The open mats after the weekday evening classes are for members only.
New adults start with a free 3-day trial. The club doesn't say what to wear for it or whether a gi is needed from the first class, so a short call to the club before the first visit settles both. The club also offers military and law enforcement discounts; the amount comes up once you get in touch.
- Free 3-day trial for adults, a free week for kids classes

- Adult gi and no-gi classes at 6 am every weekday
Kids and juniors at Logic Jiu Jitsu Club
Children start in Beginner Kids Jiu-Jitsu, which the club sums up as “Fundamentals, Fundamentals, Fundamentals!” The teaching focuses on self-confidence, commitment, sportsmanship, leadership and self-defense. Beginner classes meet after school Monday to Friday and alternate between gi and no-gi, and two brown-belt coaches assist with the kids classes.
The advanced class is for students who have learned the movements and mixes traditional and sport jiu-jitsu. Most of its students make up the club's competition team, and the club also runs separate youth comp classes; competition is “not required but highly encouraged.” Kids get a free one-week trial. The club gives no age range for its youth classes, so the age a child can join is something to settle with the coaches during that trial week.
