Red Schafer Mixed Martial Arts
Nick competed at Grappling Industries today and went 2-2 while challenging himself in the adult division despite being at masters age! He had a great showing in a stacked, 11-person division! Congrats to Nick!. The neighborhood lost power tonight, but we had 40+ people stay in very low light (one camping lantern) to train conditioning, Jiu-Jitsu & kickboxing!

Very proud of you animals for your dedication!. Congrats to the boys who made their boxing debuts tonight. They went 1-1. JT made a mistake after a questionable standing 8-count where he didn't focus on the referee, instead looking at his opponent, so the ref stopped it. He wasn't hurt, but just made a rookie mistake with a technical rule.

Red is kind, welcoming, and an EXCELLENT teacher. He has had professional MMA success, and is particularly impressive in communicating his extensive knowledge to others. The facility is safe and instruction is tailored to MMA practitioners of all ages, experience levels, athletic ability, and genders. It’s an affordable facility providing many workout options for someone wanting to try something new. Many capable MMA practitioners train here. Red’s is first BJJ training location I tried and I am so happy I did! Highly recommend!

Everyone there are so nice. The coaches and students were super nice to me as soon as I stepped into the gym. They also know what they’re doing, and they aren’t a joke. I look forward to going back to the gym in the summer, and meeting new people!

Excellent gym, my 10 year old goes twice a week for jiu jitsu and the instructors are awesome! He really enjoys it. He goes twice a week an hour each time and it's reasonable! Highly recommended

Red is a really cool and laid back guy. I was pumped to learn he has practices on Sunday. He knows his stuff.

Moved from California just so I could train Kickboxing at this gym. The striking coaches are on point, specially coach Solo. The sparring sessions are like going to war, no fighter in this gym will be easy to beat. If you're serious about fighting, this is the spot. The Jiu Jitsu is so practical as well. And the montly fee is one of the best reasons, to come to this gym. It's so affordable compared to the other gyms in Milwaukee, it's ridiculous.

Here is why I know Red Schafer Mixed Marital Arts (RSMMA) school is the BEST MMA school in Milwaukee County.
1) Eric "Red" Schafer himself. You may not recognize him in passing but his name is synonymous in the Midwest Region for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In addition, this 7x UFC competitor paved the way for future Milwaukee UFC fighters such as Anthony Pettis, Chico Camus and Danny Downes just to name a few. Highly respected for his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Red is best known for his moral integrity which he has embedded in the fabric of his school.
2) Red's Staff. Whether its Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing
