Alliance Jiu Jitsu of Madison

Whether you’re an experienced and accomplished competitor or a brand new white belt just trying out something new, you will be welcomed with open arms by the Alliance Madison team. The community at this gym is such a rare find, and to have that exist in a place with some of the best competitors in the world is exceptional. As a woman new to this environment I was nervous to give BJJ a try, but Mark and Sonya have created such an amazing team where I know I can train with anybody at Alliance and have a good experience. I truly can’t speak highly enough of my time with Alliance Madison.

This gym is exactly what I was looking for when trying to find a Jiujitsu gym in the Madison area! Everyone is respectful and fun to be around. The instruction is incredible and the training philosophy is very safe and team oriented. Everyone looks out for one another. A good fit for all intensity levels and classes that accommodate all skill levels.

Best BJJ school in Madison! The passion Mark and Sonya has for the art is infectious, and it creates a welcoming environment for anyone wanting to give it a try. I started with them 4 years ago and wouldn't ever consider going anywhere else. All of the instructors they have are world class (literally), and the other people attending classes are some of the nicest you'll ever meet. If you're on the fence about trying out BJJ, here's your reason to do so and make sure you do it at Alliance Madison!

This place is phenomenal!!! I've trained BJJ for years and have been to schools all over the country. Hands down some of the best instruction of seen. The instructors and owners are super cool. They treat everyone equally, whether they are a high level competitor (of which they have many, check their resume!) Or just a guy like me who loves to train. The level of respect the teammates have for each other is apparent from the first time you set foot on the mats. Facility is beautiful and clean!!! If you are a competitor, this is definitely your spot, but if you aren't, they still treat you like part of the team!

As someone who has trained jiu jitsu for over 10 years, I can safely say that the Alliance Madison school is the best overall facility I've seen. Mark and Sonya are both very experienced black belts with years of experience teaching top level competitors as well as beginners. The students are all super friendly and helpful. Aside from the great students and staff, they also have a brand new state of the art gym. I can't recommend this place enough!
