“Visiting from San Diego amd staying with family in the area for a few weeks and I found Sauk Valley Jiu-Jitsu through a local competition Instagram account featuring Stephen. Was welcomed with open arms and hospitality and made me feel like home and like I’ve known everyone for years. Super high level instruction and competition here, as well as the home of 2 ibjjf world champions! I highly recommend stopping in to Sauk Valley Jiu Jitsu if your traveling or in the area looking to learn from the best. Thanks to Stephen, Justin, Timmy, and Jamin for the hard rolls while I’ve been visiting.”
