Please congratulate Danielle on earning her Blue belt! If you can`t tell by the picture, Danielle is always smiling and we love that. She always brings a positive vibe and can be heard giggling even in some spots where she`s getting squished. She also competed in the last Chicago Open and took 2nd in her division. We know she`ll keep learning and laughing as she trains as a new blue belt. Good work Danielle! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #womensbjj #womensselfdefense #bluebelt #newbelt #levelup

Our very own David (@david_blair.jj) took 3rd place for the Adult Male Blue Belt Feather weight division at the @IBJJF Chicago open! We`ve seen the talent pool for the blue belt divisions keep growing over the years and David certainly adds to that. He works hard and while this may not be the result he was aiming for, he regularly finds his way on to the podium and we`re certain he will work his way back to the top. Good work David! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #bluebelt ...

Please congratulate Rob on earning his blue belt! Rob is in pretty regularly training in both our gi and no gi classes and it shows in his training. While he has the athleticism, you can tell he is always searching for technical answer to the problem in front of him. It makes him a very fun training partner to work with and we`re sure is going to help him as he continues his path with his blue belt. Good work Rob! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #bluebelt #newbelt #levelup

Our very own Pete (@peterjanutolo) took 2nd in the Male Master 4 White belt Super heavy division at the @ibjjf Chicago Open! Pete put on a great performance, especially for his first tournament. Pete showed he is very coachable and barely missed 1st place by a couple points. It was awesome to watch and we know with a few fixes, we can easily see that medal changing colors. We`re certain we`ll see him on the podium again and hopefully soon. Good work Pete! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #whitebelt ...

Please congratulate Jon (@jontwotimegetdapaper) on earning his blue belt! Jon has been very active in our community; training Jiu Jitsu and coaching some of our group fitness classes. Jon works incredibly hard and has a great mindset, knowing any goal is accomplished if you`re willing to work hard enough for it. He even went down an age bracket to compete in the previous Chicago open and managed to win his division. We`re very excited to see where blue belt takes him. Good work Jon! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions

Our very own @milenamaroske took 3rd place in the Female Adult White Light weight division at the @IBJJF Chicago Open! This was Milena`s first tournament and it was awesome! She smiled the whole time and used a lot of good technique. As she walked to the podium she said "that was a lot of fun!" So we know, there will be more for her. Good work Milena! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #womensbjj #womenselfdefense #firstcomp ...

Big smiles! Please congratulate Bri (@bri_ramirez12) on earning her blue belt! Bri is not necessarily one of the larger members we have, but don`t let her size fool you.. She has plenty of fight. She`s been a great addition to the team and it has been very fun watching her develop her style, especially against people bigger than her. She doesn`t have any quit and that is something that is very difficult to find in person. We know the path for BJJ is bright for her and we`re excited to see where the journey takes her. Good work Bri! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #womensbjj #womenselfdefense #bluebelt #newbelt #levelup

Jon again? Our very own Jon (@jiujitsujc) won the Male Master 1 Purple Belt Open weight class, as well as, his weight division at the @IBJJF Chicago Open! We don`t take winning for granted. Jon has worked very hard over the years and we`re happy to see his hard work pay off. It`s only a few months until Master Worlds. Keep it up Jon! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #purplebelt #champchamp #hardworkpaysoff ...

Just a reminder! Tonight is our belt testing night at 6pm. That doesn`t mean it`s only those for those testing. We will still be having class tonight and our teammates will be testing as we train. We`d love to have as many people on the mats as possible to celebrate those leveling up to the next belt. Make sure to bring your good vibes, gis, and smiles! Oss! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #belttesting #letsgo ...

Our very own Jon (@jontwotimegetthatpaper) won the Master 2 Male White Belt Medium Heavyweight division at the @IBJJF Chicago Open! Not to out him, but Jon qualifies the Master 3 division (next year Master 4) went down to Master 2 to get some matches. While we`re always happy to see one of our students step on the top of the podium, another moment that made us happy was Jon shortly after the competition watching his videos at texting Professor Mike on how to improve is performance. That is such a great mindset for competition and we`re sure it will carry you far. Good work Jon! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #whitebelt #beatinguponthoseyoungguys ...
