"I have been a part of this community for the past 2 and 1/2 years of my life and in that time not only my skills in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai have improved but I was able to be build connections with so many parts of the distinct Madison's groups that truly represent the city. Team Curran is a place where discipline, hard work, and community become contagious aspects of life, because the people there understand that life demands of you a great deal and having strong, determined people backing you up whether it be on the mat or outside of it can be a life changing type of support, they will make you feel welcome and work with you to be as successful a martial artist you desire and are willing to be."
Jill Bier
"Joined fall of 2022 after needing a routine change. I’ve worked out in many forms over the past 30 years but never experienced anything like this. The workouts are challenging and fun. The coaching is top notch. The community is welcoming and supportive. The vibe is incredible. Extremely happy here!!"
Angela Traska
"My 4 year old daughter has been training at Team Curran Madison since she was 3 and absolutely LOVES it!! Owner/Coach Billie and his wife Coach Ashlynn, along with all the other teachers are absolutely fantastic at working with students of all ages. They are incredibly passionate about what they do- teaching not only the physical skills involved in martial arts, but life skills that help every student to be the best they can be on and off the mats. I'm thrilled that my daughter is learning to respect herself and others, while being active and having fun! I just can't recommend this school or its instructors highly enough!!"
Andre Cheong
"Team Curran Madison is a wonderful Jiu jitsu gym, owned by Billie and Ashlynn Buss, and they are part of Jeff Curran's affiliation. My Jiu jitsu journey started at one of Jeff's affiliated gym, Cedar Valley Jiu Jitsu in Waterloo, Iowa, and whenever I travel to work, Team Curran Madison would let me drop-in and train with them. I highly recommend anyone who wants to make an impact in their lives, whether it's a small step or a large leap, to begin their Jiu jitsu journey with Prof. Billie and coach Ashlynn."
