Class Schedule
Another weekend of growth for Team Alliance Madison. 🥋
Every tournament gives us another opportunity to put our training to the test.
This past weekend, our team brought home 3 gold, 7 silver, and 3 bronze medals, but what we`re most proud of can`t be measured by a podium.
We saw teammates encouraging each other between matches, athletes trusting their training under pressure, and students stepping onto the competition mats with confidence earned through consistent training.
Whether it was a first tournament or another step in someone`s competition journey, every match was another opportunity to learn, improve, and represent our academy with class.
Thank you to everyone who competed, coached, and supported one another throughout the day. We couldn`t be more proud of this team.
See you back on the mats. The work continues.

We`re proud of the work Natalia continues to put in on and off the mats and excited to watch her keep growing.
Congratulations, Natalia! 🥉🥉

Progress isn`t always linear. 😂
Some techniques take longer to develop. Some goals take longer to reach.
The important thing is to keep showing up.

If you`ve trained with Professor Mark for any length of time, you`ve probably heard this question:
"What`s next?"
The sweep fails.
The guard gets passed.
The takedown happens.
At some point, the question stops being:
"How do I stop this?"
and becomes:
"How do I create the best outcome from here?"
The athletes who recover best aren`t the ones who never make mistakes.
They`re the ones who stop focusing on what just happened and start solving the next problem.
The fight isn`t over just because the plan is.

The older you get, the more “mobility work” starts feeling mandatory. 😂

Rogue Frank started training with us as a young kid, and it has been incredible watching him grow into the mature young man he is today.
Now a college student at UW–Madison and still training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with us, Rogue recently completed Field Training at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama through AFROTC, including an incentive flight in a T-27 Tucano.
He will continue into the Professional Officer Course at UW–Madison as he works toward commissioning as a Second Lieutenant after graduation.
We’re proud of the discipline, character, and work ethic Rogue continues to show both on and off the mats, and we’re grateful to have watched part of that journey over the years. 👏

We have Tino joining us! He has previous experience but decided he wanted to start over and give Jiu Jitsu another try. He`s already been in multiple classes smiling ear to ear. Hopefully he found his forever gym!

We have another smiling face! You maybe can`t tell by the picture, but Aric is not a small guy. That being said, he took the term "gentle art" very well. He`s learning leverage and trying to not rely on his attributes. That idea will take him very far in Jiu Jitsu and we`re excited to be part of it.

Congratulations to Charlie Kotula on earning his Purple Belt.
Charlie has consistently shown the work ethic, attitude, and commitment that make strong training partners and strong teammates. Promotions like this are built through years of mat time, consistency, growth, and helping raise the level of the room around you.
Very well deserved!👏

We have Michael joining us! Michael took to his lessons very well and does a good job of thinking through a problem. He has a great eye for detail, if you couldn`t tell by that belt knot. We`re certain he`ll find he fits in just right with us.
