Started in 2021, EJJ is a nonprofit club of jiu jitsu practitioners dedicated to community, fellowship and improving their technical skills.
Members can train at other gyms and still be welcome. Our team prioritizes safety and fosters an inclusive learning environment.
EJJ is an affiliate of Salazar BJJ, under the guidance of professor Marcello "Salazar" Bergo.
As a nonprofit club, EJJ's instructors are unpaid volunteers. They value what it means to be a coach, actively supporting the individual member's technical growth and connection to our team.

Our members benefit from an environment that is safe, clean, fun and conducive to an individual's growth in jiu jitsu. We believe that to achieve this it is important that all members adhere to a code of conduct. Additionally, as a club within the Milwaukie Elks that is composed of Lodge members, it is important that EJJ members uphold the values and rules set out by the Lodge. https://www.elks.org/who/information.cfm
In 2025 EJJ members volunteered their time to lead the renovation of the Elks Lodge locker rooms, donating ~$30,000 in expertise and labor.
The EJJ team gets it done!
Each year, EJJ prioritizes a charitable cause, providing cash donations and volunteering.
