Nick Crawley
"FreeForm JiuJitsu is the best gym in Milwaukee, WI. The coaching is technically sound and the gym is filled with high level belts. You will get great technical rolls from White belt to to Black belt! I'm very thankful that my daughter is part of Team FreeForm. Thank you to the Coaching staff and team for pouring your knowledge into my daughter."

"Great atmosphere, great location, and best of all great people here at Free Form Jiu Jitsu. Clean and sanitary so that you can learn self defense and be in a great community! Looking forward to my return and learning opportunities! 🤘🏾"
Anthony Kurczewski
"Dropped in for the 6am class while visiting Milwaukee. Freeform has a very welcoming atmosphere. While I have a background in wrestling, I have no experience in Jiu Jitsu, but everyone was accommodating of this and made the experience fun and challenging. Matt’s technique instruction was extremely clear, and was paced in a cohesive manner. The Gym itself is gorgeous, and located right off the lakefront so you can catch a nice breeze after some intense bouts of live sparring."
William Sherman
"Free Form Jiu-Jitsu provides a top-tier experience for anyone serious about improving! Over the past two years, I’ve had the opportunity to train here, and the experience has been incredible. The technical training is top-notch, and the coaches ensure you’re competition-ready with practical, effective techniques. The community here is amazing too—I've formed lasting friendships with my training partners, and the camaraderie keeps me motivated. Earning my blue belt at Free Form has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my jiujitsu journey, and I owe so much to the coaches—Matt, Andy, TJ, and Ben. Their dedication, expertise, and support make all the difference. Whether you're looking to compete or just improve your skills, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!"
