Thanks so much to Matheus and Isaac @rossi_bros for helping Hazel on her final day of training before Crown. And thanks to @alliancebjjhb for all your hospitality! #ibjjf #ibjjfcrown2026 #madisonbjj #allianceeusou ...

The more Jiu Jitsu you learn, the more clearly you can see how much there is left to learn.

That is one of the gifts of a difficult craft.

Progress gives you confidence, but the depth of the game keeps asking for humility.

A new belt is not the end of learning. It is another beginning.

Winning the round is not your number-one job.

Being a great training partner is.

That means controlling your ego, training safely, giving useful resistance, staying on task, and understanding what your partner needs from the round.

Sometimes the right round is hard. Sometimes it is technical. Sometimes it is slower than you wanted.

Train in a way that makes both people better.

A title can make you responsible for people. It does not automatically make you good at it.

Jiu Jitsu has a way of keeping status in perspective.

On the mat, you still need to listen, learn, adapt, help the person beside you, and accept correction when your answer does not work.

Humility travels well outside the gym.

You can learn a lot about a Jiu Jitsu academy without taking anyone’s word for it.

Try a class.

See how coaches teach. See how experienced people treat beginners. See whether people train hard without acting reckless. See whether the room feels like somewhere you could learn.

Come see the reality before you decide.

This was a big one! Aaron was promoted to Brown belt this past week! Aaron was been on a hot streak at purple belt, winning two medals at IBJJF Pans, Taking Silver in NOGI World Championships...Losing the finals by only two advantages and not having a point scored on him all day! His purple belt season culminated with him winning his first World Championship at IBJJF Master Worlds in Las Vegas, also not having a point scored on him the whole tournament! It was truly exciting to watch. Well, it is on to the brown belt for Aaron and we know he will start off with a bang! Let`s Go!!! #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin #bjj #alliancebjjmadison #artesuave #thegentleart #ibjjf ...

Want to know whether a Jiu Jitsu room is healthy? Watch the experienced people train with beginners.

Do they use the beginner as a target, or as a training partner?

Do they explain things? Control themselves? Let the new person work? Give them enough resistance to learn without making the round pointless?

Experience should increase responsibility—not ego.

Come see how our room treats someone who is new.

John Brennan was promoted to Purple Belt after a stellar competition season. John won Chicago Open this year and also took third in the Open Class, then went on to have a stellar performance at Master Worlds, losing a tie match to the #1 ranked guy in the division. He has really turned a corner with his Jiu Jitsu. John will be testing his new purple belt at the Alliance Cup next weekend! Good Luck John!!! #madisonwi #allianceeusou #alliancebjj #madisonbjj #bjjmadison #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinbjj #bjjwisconsin #bjj #alliancebjjmadison #artesuave #thegentleart #ibjjf ...

Jacob received his Blue belt recently, and it was definitely well earned. Jacob had a great performance at Chicago Open this year and has been working very hard to refine his BJJ.
