Many Madison MMA gyms offer a "buffet" of martial arts like fitness kickboxing, self-defense, karate, etc. That's because we think Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is the most effective and complete self-defense system in the world. It's also the best full-body mma workout available, and just plain addictive to learn.

As an instructor with extensive experience teaching kids martial arts, there is nothing better than seeing them grow firsthand.

I just want to add one critical review since the others are so positive. The programs they offer are misleading. When doing the 6 week introductory program, I was told that I would be refunded my 600$ deposit after the 6 weeks. When I read the contract, I saw that it would be returned as a deposit, and not back into my bank account as was explained in person. Furthermore, when you sign the contract for the blue belt program, you surrender your rights to leave a negative review. I did not sign that contract, and want to leave this review as a result. The program itself deserves around 3 stars I

Journey BJJ Academy has been a fantastic place to learn jui jitsu. Both my 11yr old son and I have been taking classes for the last month and have found it to be a very welcoming community to grow and learn in this new skill for us. 10/10 would recommend.

I've been going to Journey BJJ for about 4 months now. I typically attend morning classes. The gym has a positive and safe atmosphere. I love the coaches - they genuinely care and offer great instruction, often staying after class to answer questions students may have, or to demonstrate some technical detail someone is asking about.

I've been attending Journey BJJ for about 3 months and am very glad I made the decision to give it a try. The coaches do a great job teaching someone with no experience and the members are friendly and helpful. I'd recommend it if you have ever wanted to try BJJ.

Love training with the other students and the excellent coaches at Journey. This is a very welcoming gym and incredibly inclusive to people new to the sport. There are some great upper belts that’s can really roll smooth and tough and also are willing to talk through situations or show additional skills after practice .

I have been training at Journey for approximately 5 months, best investment I’ve made in a long time. At 37 years old I weighed 205 lbs in January and I now weigh 170 lbs. This gym has an amazing and diverse group of people: younger, older, men, women, college athletes, middle aged parents (like me), and everything in between. DO NOT be intimidated if you do not have grappling experience, everyone there is focused on making each other better. If you were a wrestler and want to push yourself there are some great training partners that can assist you with that at Journey. It is an amazing little
