Class Schedule
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! Happy hunting everyone! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #fujibjj #fuji
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. So watch out. Joking! Alp is a super nice guy! We're happy to have you training buddy! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #bluebelt
We have another level up! Please congratulate Jon on earning his first stripe! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions
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
Did we mention we love Nogi, Just ask Hazel! We want well rounded grapplers and that requires training in both the gi and out of the gi. You may have your favorite, but being able to perform in both requires some practice. Fortunately we have a big mat space! It only looks small when everyone stands together to make groups and you center the picture on D'andre! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #bigclasses #nogi #bigmatspace
Results from the weekend! Aaron takes 1st in the Master 1 Blue belt Super heavyweight division and the Master 1 Blue belt open weight division! Aaron has been working on refining his technique with Professor Mike and it's really showing with multiple great performances. This time the gi came off but the Jiu Jitsu stayed! Good work Aaron and a good start to the Nogi season! We're all looking forward to more! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #bluebelt #nogi #openweightchamp #superheavychamp #champchamp
Throw back to Professor Sonya being awarded her certificate for 1st place in the black belt Women's Master 6 division and 3rd place in the black belt Women's Master 5 division. She is easily the most accomplished BJJ athlete in Wisconsin and has more Master World Championships than any other Master's athlete. We're very fortunate to have her and she's a very integral part of our team! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #womensbjj #womensselfdefense #quittersneverwin #winnersneverquit #hardworkbeatstalentwhentalentdoesntworkhard #shesabrickhouse
More smiles! Please congratulate Jonah on earning his blue belt! Jonah is one of the Olympic lifters in the gym and is always trying to bring the idea of efficiency into his training. He's always got a smile on when he's rolling and if you're not careful he can show you how good his Oly lifting is with some "frequent flyer" miles. #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #olympiclifting #olylifting #frequentflyermiles #throws
Again! Who said belt testing couldn't be fun? Ultimately when we find ourselves in the bottom position, we need focus defending and keeping ourselves safe. Once we're able to accomplish this goal, the next is to improve position and find our way to the top. Shouldn't be surprising sweeps are on the blue belt test! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #bluebelt #womensbjj #womensselfdefense #sweeps #twopoints
Oh snap! Please congratulate Charlie on earning his blue belt! I know we say a lot of people are always smiling, it seems to be a common trend over here. Charlie is always smiling and is quickly finding how to be technical and playful at the same time with his Jiu Jitsu. He seems to easily dial in his training in for his partner. He's a great training partner and we're happy to have him in. #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #bluebelt #smile
Results from the weekend! David takes 1st in the Adult Blue belt Featherweight division! This moves him to number 5 in the world in the blue belt featherweight division. David keeps racking up good performances in competition and hasn't been a blue belt for very long. The mat time he's accumulating is definitely starting to show. We're very proud! Good work! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #IBJJF #stlouisopen #featherweight #bluebelt
Who said belt testing can't be fun!?!? Here is Kim showing Professor Mark how to escape the back position. This is a very important concept that exists on all belt levels and is something we learn early on in our Fundamental program. As we get better, hopefully we don't find ourselves defending this position too often. BUT! It turns out we also learn back taking in Fundamentals as well. #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #seatbelt #backescapes #backtakes #4points #perfectlybalanced #asallthingshouldbe
We have another great addition! Please welcome Tom to the Alliance team! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions
Level up! Please congratulate Joss on earning his first stripe! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions
We're all smiles over here! Please congratulate Kim on earning her blue belt! Kim always comes in smiling and ready to learn more. We can tell she really focuses on understanding the techniques and she always asks great questions, looking for the best solution to solve a problem. We're certain these traits are going to move her forward on and off the mats! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #bluebelt #smile #smiles #womensbjj #womensselfdefense
