A trusted space turned traumatic

This article was last updated by on

In a Facebook post, Washington parent Noah Miller publicly accused Lone Wolf Jiu-Jitsu of endangering children and covering up abuse.

Miller, who had enrolled his son in the gym’s youth program, shared a detailed account of physical harm inflicted by Coach Randy and the alleged dishonesty of the gym’s owner, Don.

He described the experience as “sickening,” claiming that Don failed to protect children.

Additionally, he stated that Don disseminated false narratives about Miller’s family to other gyms in an attempt to deflect blame.

Parents’ Facebook Post Sparks Outrage Over Alleged Child Abuse and Deception at Martial Arts Gym

According to Miller’s post, the incident occurred in August 2024 during a Saturday class attended by only four children at LONE WOLF JIU-JITSU.

His 12-year-old son John returned home in tears, describing how Coach Randy, who weighs around 200 pounds, mounted him during a live roll session, restricted his breathing, and applied a “punch choke” that left him bruised and terrified.

John reportedly suffered a bruised esophagus and spinal pain, and recounted multiple painful submissions used by Randy that felt intentionally cruel.

Miller and his wife confronted Don, who admitted Randy had a history of anger issues and similar incidents, but asked the family to stay under the condition that Randy would no longer teach or interact with their children.

Despite this agreement, Miller later discovered that Randy had resumed teaching the kids’ class.

When he requested a refund for the remaining months, Don initially agreed but later canceled, allegedly fabricating stories about the family and minimizing the abuse.

Miller claims that Don labeled them “problem parents” and continued to allow Randy to instruct the children, saying:

When the payments were due, Don openly lied about the terms, began to make up stories about our family and the abuse that happened and telling other gyms that we were the “problem parents” who would make a scene if our kids lost or had a rough roll etc…

This post has sparked concern among other parents and community members.

Additionally, Miller strongly advises families to avoid Lone Wolf Jiu-Jitsu.

He urges anyone who has experienced similar mistreatment at the gym to come forward and share their story with him directly via email.
