Nobody from the gym runs this page yet, so details come from public sources and may be incomplete. Details last checked on 4 November 2026.

The Trench Jiu-Jitsu is a family-run Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy in northeast Tacoma, opened in late 2024 by Professor David Veloria, a third-degree black belt from the Gracie Barra NW lineage. The school teaches gi and no-gi for adults, a women-only class, "Little Sharks" for young children and "Junior Sharks" for older kids and teens. Beyond sport technique, it stresses self-defense, anti-bullying skills, fitness, discipline and confidence. It also runs very early-morning adult sessions and a weekly open mat. It is IBJJF-registered and draws students from across the South Sound, and newcomers can start with a free trial.
