Details Matter! Many times when a BJJ technique is not working correctly for you, there are maybe just some small details you are missing. We are lucky to have coaches who care and spend the time helping improve the little things, so that our students BJJ can grow! Thanks to all of our black belts for being so caring and consistent with our teammates. You guys Rock! #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin #bjj #alliancebjjmadison #artesuave #thegentleart ...

Professor Sonya receives her 3rd Degree on her Black belt from The General, Fabio Gurgel. What an awesome moment for all of us. Professor Sonya is one of the owners/ head instructors here at Alliance of Madison. This 14x World Masters Champion is renowned for not only her competition accolades, but her ability to teach people of all sizes, ages, and skill levels. She is an integral part of what makes us the best BJJ team in Madison and without a doubt the reason we have so many successful competitors, happy students, and such a fun atmosphere. #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin #bjj #alliancebjjmadison #artesuave #thegentleart ...

Learning to leverage your size, as a smaller person against a larger one.

Watching someone prevent being overpowered by muscle and force, using just body positioning.

Seeing someone use what they maybe once thought of as a weakness, as a strength.

Witnessing people overcome doubt, fear, and hesitation.

This is what makes BJJ such a beautiful art.

Gold Medals and Competitions are great, but they aren`t everything. The principles and ideas in BJJ run so much deeper than just getting a win.

If you allow it, this sport will change your life for the better, in more ways than you can imagine. #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin #bjj #alliancebjjmadison #artesuave #thegentleart ...

One of our Good Teammates, Shawn, had to deploy for a little while. We are definitely missing him on the mats. But even though he is maybe half way around the world, he is rocking his Alliance Gi and helping to spread Jiu Jitsu to those he is deployed with! So Awesome! Thank you Shawn (and the rest of you pictured) for serving our country and keeping us safe! Have a great 4th of July weekend and We hope you make it home safely and soon! #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin #4thofjuly #usarmedforces #america #landofthefree #supportthetroops #usa ...

Even the highest level people in the room learned so much from Professor Fabio. It`s so easy to see why he has been so successful at teaching the newest white bel to the top level competitors. His methods are clean and easy and he explains in a way everyone can understand! We are lucky to have him as a leader of our team and his kindness on and off the mats truly sets the example for all of us to follow! #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin ...

We are still getting caught up on all our news, so you might have seen this one already!

Hazel was promoted to purple belt one year ago, after winning World Championships in both Gi and NoGI at Blue belt! Hazel actually won all 4 majors at Blue belt, completing the Grand Slam.

She broke onto the purple belt scene with a Gold Medal at Atlanta Open, followed shortly thereafter by Taking Double Gold at Pans! We set our sights on Worlds and there was no other option in our head but double Gold! When we walked into the Arena that day, people from the BJJ media were grabbing Mark and asking what he thinks about Hazel being the favorite! The pressure was on.

It is hard to have a perfect day on the mats. Hazel was most definitely not perfect that day, but Champions find a way! And Hazel did exactly that, fighting through a lot of adversity to win Double Gold.

Her journey at Purple is over, there is not other accomplishment necessary at that belt. So with Professor Fabio in attendance, we promoted this rising BJJ Star to Brown belt. The Goal hasn`t changed, we will do it all over again this year at the next level!

Congrats Hazel, on everything up to this point and for what you are about to do next! Let`s Go get after it!!!! #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin ...
