What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Tim Otto
"As a newcomer to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I had a lot of apprehensions about going to Groundwork Grappling. In my first class, everyone (coaches and students) was very welcoming. They've been very patient with me. The culture here is one of welcoming, learning, and teaching. The first class is free and there's never any pressure or sales pitch associated with goods or services. And it's a great workout."
Kevin Scott
"Professor Jared Raths brings Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Northern Wisconsin. Under the leadership and guidance of 5th Degree Black Belt Master Cleber Luciano, Professor Jared shares the most effective self-defense martial art on the planet. Technique over Strength. Leverage, not Power. This is BJJ!"
Amanda Raths
"High quality, traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction, with a friendly, comfortable atmosphere. Great for building confidence, cardio, and defense skills."
Rob Arneson
"Had an absolutely great time here. Jeremy is a very knowledgeable guy and even though it was only for a day, walked out of there with something new to work on. Thanks for the detail!"
