Tomorrow is the @IBJJF Chicago Spring open! We want to wish everyone competing Happy Hunting! You have all been training, hard day in and day out, to get to this point. Tomorrow and Sunday are the same! Thank you to everyone who was in training and helping the competitors get ready. We often think of Jiu Jitsu is a solo sport, because we are the only one on the mat with our opponent. It`s may be true that we are the only one competing in that moment, but Jiu Jitsu is very much a team sport. It`s the countless hours we train with our teammates working and refining our techniques. We build each other up and chase dreams together. To those competing, you`ve put more time in training this week then you will have tomorrow or Sunday. Get some rest and remember once hand touches gi, it`s all the same! Happy Hunting! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #chicagoopen #competition #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #havefun #gettingcomfortableintheuncomfortable #itsallthesame ...

The @IBJJF Chicago Spring Open`s preschedule is up! We`re still waiting on the brackets, but it looks like all colored belts (Gi divisions) will be going Saturday and White belts will be on Sunday. We`ve been announcing it in class and it should come as no surprise that anyone competing needs an IBJJF approved gi. If you`re uncertain of whether or not your gi is legal PLEASE talk to one of the coaches ASAP! If you`re worried about the fit of your gi, we can check that too.

If you`re interested in watching the competition, we`d be happy to have you out there with us. We will still be running our normal classes this weekend for anyone who can`t make it. The training has been good and everyone looks sharp! Thank you to all the students helping the competitors get ready! We want everyone to know from the newest white belt to the highest rank black belt, everyone has a place and we appreciate you making our team and training environment great! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #thankyou #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #gratefulforourtrainingpartners ...

Good news! Professor Mike will be having a belt test prep day on Saturday (April 12th) after the morning classes. If you have four stripes on your belt and would like to be extra prepared for your belt test, talk to professor Mike. #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #belttestprep #studybuddy #nostress ...

We will be having our Belt Test day on Friday (April 18th) at 6pm! We`ve been giving the warnings in class for those who have four stripes on their belts. Even if you aren`t testing, it would be great to have as many people on the mats that day to celebrate our teammates who are. It will be a special day for them, so please mark down the day in your calendars. We`ll have a few things to celebrate that day! Oss! #Allianceeusou #Madisonbjj #Bjjmadison #Madisonwi #Madisonwisconsin #Bjj #alliancebjj #everydayporrada #championsmadebychampions #belttest #waittheresatest #youseethematerialeverdayyoutrain #dontstress ...
