Reviews

I'm from Brazil and had quick staying in Madison. Awesome guys and very well trained. Thank you all. Really enjoyed. Hope to come back and train with y'all again

Class act operation at this dojo. The coaches and instructors are Stellar. They know how to handle children and do it in an appropriate manner that shows discipline and respect. I take my grandson here and plan on going all the way through to his black belt which probably will be at 10-12 year commitment or more depending on dedication and effort put forward.

I've only been training BJJ for 9 months, and the skills that I have learned have not only given me confidence to defend myself in today's society, but training at Gracie South has also allowed me to do things physically that I could not do a year ago. I definitely plan on training with Gracie South for the rest of my life, and I look forward to getting my children involved in this amazing art.
