Seattle Jujutsu Club
Hatake Dojo
"We value most, those things for which we have worked the hardest."
The Seattle Jujutsu Club, Hatake Dojo and Sea-Town Sombo, is a CO-OP club founded February of 1998 in Seattle. The club is known for its rigorous practices, the technical ability of the members, and the smiling faces of the participants. The club's goal is the practice of physical culture and all the benefits, which ensue.
The club is based around the practice of three closely related grappling methodologies; jujutsu, Russian sombo, and judo. All three activities are based around sound body mechanics, which are universal. All three sports spring from the same fountainhead of physiology and history; more than anything, modern rule-sets divide between three.
The club offers the opportunity to practice sport and freestyle Sombo, in addition to a ju-jutsu, and judo. Techniques and approaches from all of the above noted sources are incorporated into daily practice, but are always clearly delineated as to their source.
As a grass roots, blue-collar organization, we feel that it is important to be part of our community, in whatever small way we can. Along with several other local businesses, the club donates annually to a variety of grass roots charities. Nothing we do is for profit; our goals are simply to be better today than we were yesterday, as grapplers and as members of our community.
In addition, the club offers several scholarships for 16-18 year olds. The club itself allowing individuals with fiscal hardship the opportunity to practice donates the monthly costs of club membership and all equipment.
If you are interested in applying for a scholarship or have someone who you feel would be a good candidate, please contact us for more information.
