StrongHold Jiu Jitsu

“I highly recommend Stronghold jiujitsu for kids and/or adults. Coach Wade’s classes are fun, mentally stimulating, and rigorous. Coach Wade is VERY technical, so his understanding and ability to convey how the technique should be performed will elevate one’s game. My 13 year old daughter and I frequent Stronghold when we are not training at our regular Stronghold affiliated jiujitsu school. The atmosphere is family friendly, the facility is clean, and there’s mutual respect amongst all jiujitsu practitioners, beginners and experienced.”

“We can’t say enough good things about Coach Wade and the StrongHold gym. All 3 of our children are students. We’ve watched the kids’ classes explode over the years as the secret has gotten out. We love that the focus is 100% on jiu jitsu versus an after school program packed with filler. Despite being strict and focused, there is an atmosphere of fun and a deep mutual respect shared between students and coach. As for the adult classes, the hardest thing about it is walking through that door the first time. After that, you’ll be addicted. It’s a great way to get in or stay in shape. The adult students are the best. There is no “tough guy” presence in the gym. Everyone is warm, genuine, and focused on making others and themselves better in the sport.”

“Our family loves this place, Stronghold is not your typical Jiu-Jitsu academy, at Stronghold I feel that my kids walk into a first class gym to train with their very knowledgeable big brother. It’s a family and I love the fact that Wade trains the kids hard while teaching them discipline and respect for one another and the sport. If you are looking for a welcoming, hard working place to train look no further.”

“First and foremost, Wade is an awesome human being. Very kind and understanding and I can't thank him enough for what he has been doing for our family. He is also an amazing coach and his classes are filled with respect and professionalism. When you watch his kids classes, you can tell right away that they are in good hands. Everyone develops at their own pace but there are many kids that you can tell right now that will be great one day.”

“Wade has developed a top notch crew out in DeForest. I always love training at gyms where there is an open and friendly environment that has been fostered by the leadership. This gym is associated with a larger affiliation in the midwest (Tac Team) that they cross train with and brings in top notch talent from Chicago, Milwauke, and Iowa.”
