TBT! There's just something about hanging out and watching some Jiu Jitsu! Starting this weekend Professor Mike (@oftenmadehumble) is going to hang out after Saturday classes once a month and watch matches in our coffee shop seating area. In the past, we usually stream our teammates and watch them compete. We actually have a competitor going out to Nogi Pans this weekend and if the schedule works out, Mike will be up there watching him compete. They release the schedule for Nogi Pans later today, so we should know soon. If you want to hang out, talk Jiu Jitsu, ask questions, or anything like that, Mike said he'll hang out and do that with you guys and gals. #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #studythesport #watchmatches #nogipans #supportyourteam #whosgotpopcorn ...

Still getting caught up on posting promotions! Congratulations to Heydy on her well deserved promotion to Blue Belt! Heydy has been working with us for a while and during that time became a trusted member of the Madison Police department! We are thankful for her service to our community and we are definitely willing to back this blue! 😉 Congrats Heydy! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions ...

Who likes half guard? Everyone needs to understand some half guard. This is one of two guards you can force someone to play. Nobody can force you feet on their biceps for Spider guard. Nobody can wrap your leg around theirs to create De la Riva guard. They CAN try to pass and come up short. You CAN escape a dominant position and get caught in the middle. It's why we focus on the position both top and bottom, offensively and defensively. Make sure you understand the details of this position and if you're struggling, we're more than happy to help! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #halfguard #underhook #blockthecrossface #whatsacrossface #ohnowiunderstand #dontgetstuck ...

While the year winds down and we see the leaves changing colors, we keep grinding! Here's one of our comp sessions from this past week. Smiling faces, messed up hair, and good times. These things are not exclusive to the competitors. Turns out all of our classes usually end with smiles, a little sweat, and good vibes. An important thing to remember is that everyone is part of the team! From the newest white belt to the oldest black belt, we appreciate the willingness to get on the mats and train. Hopefully we see you on the mats soon. It's Monday and we're already looking forward to having fun and learning. Oss! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #letsstarttheweekoffright #whosaidyouhavetohatemondays #areyougoingtotakeadvicefromacat #yesweknowaboutthelasagna ...

We had a bunch of our ladies in training the other day and it's always cool to see their interest and numbers grow in the sport. We love having a team of very talented women training with us. It also turns out Professor Mark isn't the only one fluent in photobombing! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions ...

Throwback Thursday! Here's a bunch of our new blue belts. It's always great to see the level go up and smiles fill the room. #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions ...

Classes keep growing! We offer Fundamentals, Intermediate, Advanced and Competitors training. There's something here for everybody. Whether you're training for self defense, sport, health, or fun, we have a spot for you. You don't believe we have fun? Here's Professor Mark photobombing! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #photobomb #itwassupposedtobeanicepicture #ismiledlasttime ...

Hey everyone! This Saturday marks our 5 year anniversary of opening the Twisted Fitness facility.

Everyone is invited Boxers, Grapplers, gym members, friends and family!

Happy Birthday Master Jacare! Thank you for everything you have done for us and the rest of the Alliance family! #allianceeusou #madisonbjj #bjjmadison ...

The Guard is just that! Here we have Professor Mark and Professor Andy teaching the details of strike defense on the ground.#Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions We post a lot about competition and we are fortunate to have a lot of hard working individuals that have success in competition. BUT! We need to remember that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a self defense art too. Strategies change between the two, but we need to understand that difference. Our Fundamental program covers a lot of self defense situations that hopefully we never find ourselves in, but have an understanding of how to survive them. Losing competition sucks and we're all going to experience it at some point. We can not lose self defense! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #selfdefense #guard #getoffyourback ...

Big Congrats to Almoni "Moni" Chambers on his hard earned Blue belt! After several Dominating performances at White belt, Moni has moved on! Almoni is also a member of WI National Guard and we thank him for his service! His dedication to his team and his country inspire us all! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions ...

TBT to the last Fuji tournament we did! This weekend is the Fuji State Championship and we have a good number of competitors going. We have people looking at Nogi Pans and Nogi Worlds too. So please make sure you're in and training as much as you can to help people prepare. We're looking forward to this weekend!

Results from the weekend! Our very own David went out and competed in the IBJJF Cleveland open. David is came home with gold (Adult Blue Belt Featherweight) and silver (Adult Blue belt Open Weight class). Taking first in your weight class is always impressive and to follow it up with a silver in the open weight class? As a featherweight! Nicely done David! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #bluebelt #featherweightchamp ...

Hey ladies! We're proud to have a group of amazing women training with us. This is a picture from last Saturday's fundamental BJJ class and we're still missing quite a few women who train. It makes us proud that we can create a training environment where not only do women feel safe, but feel they can practice practical self defense skills. Our ladies actually own more BJJ medals and titles than the men (let's try to keep up guys!). From our 2x Juvenile Blue belt World champion to our 14x Master World's Black belt champion, we have a lot of talented women on the mats. Whether you compete or not doesn't matter, you are all valued on our team. If you're interested in trying out Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and want a supportive group who pushes each other to be the best they can be, stop in for a free trial lesson or class. We hope to see you on the mats soon! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #womensbjj #womensselfdefense #badasswomen #strongwomen #lionesses ...

Who wants a brat? That question sounds very different when you're not from the Midwest! Our very own Cruz is helping put on the VFW Brat Fry. If you any of you guys and gals like brats (or maybe you don't like brats but want to support a good cause) he'll be selling them this Saturday October 12th. Professor Mike says he plans on going after the Fundamental and Intermediate BJJ classes, if you'd like to join. Hopefully we'll see you there! #veterans #madisoncollege #freedom #brats #hotdogs #Madisonwi #madisonwisconsin #madisongym #powerlifting #strongman #fitness #gym #crossfit #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions ...

Still smiling! Please congratulate Alperen on earning his blue belt! Alp is an awesome training partner and you can find him upstairs on the mats and also downstairs with boxing gloves on.

Here we have professor Andy going over the details of the Elbow escape. It's something we learn early on, the third introductory lesson for those just starting. It's a very valuable technique with lots of details to master. Fortunately Professor Andy is happy to help and teaches our Wednesday 6pm Fundamentals class. You won't want to miss that one! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #womensbjj #womensselfdefense ...
