Through mixed martial arts your child will learn real anti-bullying skills in a safe, supportive environment while becoming stronger on and off the mats. "We teach a style of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu we studied under our Professor, Henry Matamoros - a Pedro Sauer 3rd degree black belt. Our system is a free flowing, open guard based system we apply specifically for MMA. We teach a simplified and fun ver

sion of our style in our children's program, where we teach our kids self defense, and more importantly, self confidence. At our Milwaukee Jiu Jitsu and MMA Gym, we teach a unique striking style catered to our MMA fighters. It is a blend of traditional Dutch style kickboxing, Muay Thai, and techniques and concepts we've learned and apply when we compete in MMA. We have students that really love the martial arts. We have students who join with their own fitness goals in mind. Some of our students really enjoy the competition side of our martial arts. We have a strong professional and amateur competitive fight team. We travel around the country participating in MMA events. We are active on the local level, including our own promotion, and on the national level on televised cards. Our gym name and gym motto is "Pura Vida." The direct translation is Pure Life, but the more accurate translation is "Good Life." We teach it, we live it, and we want to share it with you."
