I stopped into a couple gyms to train at while I was in Milwaukee for work and let me tell you I’m so glad I went here. The coach is very welcoming and knowledgeable. The place was clean and everyone was very respectful and friendly felt like I was back home training with the boys. I left tired and happy! Definitely will be back every chance I get! Highly recommend!

Love this place. Everyone is so welcoming. I really enjoy the way the coach sets up his classes so that everyone can practice live with a partner. 10/10 would recommend. ❤️

The transformation we have seen our grandson go through is outstanding. Primal’s Instructors are experienced, polite and do not quit on students even if they quit on themselves. I am a Marine and experienced in Martial Arts for 30 years. I highly recommend Primal , especially kids.

PrimalMKE’s coaches are some of the kindest and most knowledgeable people I’ve met. They encourage everyone, no matter their experience level, to be creative and find moves and a style that works for them. They create a culture of trust and respect where it’s everyone’s responsibility to keep their training partner safe, and where everyone has something to teach someone else. Their coaches compete regularly themselves, including at ADCC trials, and they encourage members to put themselves out there in competitions frequently. Their jump-in-head-first approach may feel challenging at first, but it’s based in sports science and is proven to help athletes improve more quickly than traditional drill style classes. They just added a permanent cage and another huge extension for more classes and their workout area. I highly recommend Primal to anyone who’s interested in a fast-paced, playful learning environment with wonderful people!

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Primal MKE - MMA Gym & Fitness. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Primal MKE - MMA Gym & Fitness welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Primal MKE - MMA Gym & Fitness train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Primal MKE - MMA Gym & Fitness. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
