“I have been going to these classes for about 2 months now. One of the first things that stood out to me was that It is one of the MOST positive environments I have had the pleasure to be in. Everyone is very welcoming and willing to help out. Filipe is one of the best teachers Ive had! Straight to the point. Cant wait to keep learning!!”

“Where do I even start? I've been training with Filipe for over six years now and it has completely changed my life for the better. The quality of the instruction at this academy is top notch. Filipe has a TON of knowledge and experience in the sport that he brings to each and every training session. He is committed to making each of his students the best they can be both in the sport and personally. Training with Filipe has made me a better athlete, husband, co-worker, and overall better person. In addition to the top-tier training, the environment and culture that has been cultivated over the years is amazing. The gym is a welcoming and accepting environment where everyone is respected and valued. These people are more than just training partners to me, they're my friends and family. So whether you're looking for a fun way to get some exercise and try a new sport, or a serious competitor looking for quality instruction and dedicated training partners, this gym has it all. It is THE place to train in Sauk County. So come join us! We welcome newcomers with open arms!”

“Great Gym! I am new to Jiu-Jitsu and 40 years old. Was interested in the children's program for my Daughter and ended up joining myself! Children’s program is great for learning / teaching discipline. Not to mention they are getting great exercise and meeting new kids. Adult classes are physically demanding but great for staying in shape and of course starting or furthering your knowledge and technique in Jiu-Jitsu. Fillipe and the other instructors are extremely knowledgeable and have a passion for teaching. The other members of the adult class are also very welcoming and ready to help anyone new. Great for Men and Women… or come together! I bring my daughter to children’s class from 5-6 and then I stay for adults class from 6-7. Thank you for a continuous great experience!”

“If you want one hell of an instructor that knows their craft, Filipe is your person. He knows his gym, his students, and he’s a professional that teaches you how you need to be taught. He gets to the root and heart of his students so we learn at our own speeds. This is why I keep coming back to the best academy in the area. Filipe and my teammates are what define this place, pop in, bring your gear, and get after it. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Started training at Filipe's gym a few months ago as a complete beginner and I’m so glad I did! I was pretty nervous coming in not knowing anything but everyone at the gym is so welcoming and passionate enough to help teach! Filipe is a great hands on instructor and is always ready and prepared to answer questions and instills confidence in each student. As a 5 ft, 110lbs female this gym has made me feel stronger than ever! So excited to keep training and learning new skills that could help me outside of the gym. If you’re interested don’t be afraid to show up, you won’t regret it!”
