Welcome to Sleeper Athletics, our school focuses on building healthy, happy, and creative youth and adults through a variety of athletics including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, submission wrestling, boxing, kickboxing and wrestling.  We believe that everyone can benefit and grow through athletics and we strive to create an environment that is fun, friendly and accomodates all ages, skill levels and goals.  Sleeper Athletics offers a variety of classes, seminars, private/group lessons and events geared to spreading grappling and other athletics to our students and our communities.

Sleeper Athletics is the longtime dream of Gracie Barra 1st degree black belt and professional grappler and MMA fighter, Cindy Hales. With an extensive competition career including victories at the Pan-Americans, US Opens, Grappler Quest Pro Tournament, OTM Pac Sub Hawaii vs Mainland Superfights, Fatale Femmes Fighting, Princess of Pain USA vs. Australia/New Zealand, and appearances at ADCC 2007 and Smackgirl Remix in Tokyo, Japan.  Cindy not only has an established competition record but has also been teaching for over 8 years at schools such as Gracie Barra Seattle/Bellevue, Annie Wright School in Tacoma, Islamic Center of Redmond, Alpha Martial Arts and for several private clients. After years of teaching and competing, Cindy finally realized her dream of opening her own school that focusses on youth and adult athletes.

Sleeper Athletics students are well rounded athletes that acheive excellence in all areas of their life.  We have an active youth and adult competition team  and boast victories in  Kids BJJ and Submission Grappling World Championships, Revolution, Sub League, and ADCC Qualifiers.    We foster a strong team environment where everyone plays a role in the team’s success.
