"While traveling, I typically make it a point to visit a jiu jitsu school for a class. I had the pleasure of attending this dojo on two separate Tuesdays with instructor Scott. The facility boasts ample mat space, excellent instruction, changing rooms, and cubbies for storing personal belongings. If you are in Madison, WI, I highly recommend dropping into this gym; you will not be disappointed 😁."

The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the sport, making every class both technically challenging and enjoyable. The facility itself was clean, well-equipped, and had ample space for training. These aspects have kept me with the gym for 2 years now. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this gym offers top-notch instruction and a welcoming community that fosters growth and camaraderie. Overall, it's a fantastic place to hone your skills and immerse yourself in the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu."

Facility was abundant with all the necessities. Truly a great place to train! Thank you for having me y’all!"
