Prof Cristiano is an excellent instructor and mentor. Classes are well organised and regular. I cannot recommend this place more.

Outstanding training facility. Clean, great mats and friendly atmosphere. The instructor is a 5th degree blackbelt, and an unbelievable teacher! From young children to aspiring seniors, there is no one better than Cristiano to teach you the Gentle Art! If you have a chance to train here, don’t pass it up!

As an out of shape mid 30s year old dad, I finally took the plunge and started BJJ at the end of 2019. My best friend has been doing it for years at another local gym, and he spoke highly of Cristiano Ribeiro in general. Even speaking so highly, I feel he undersold professor Cristiano. Cristianos experience is world class, but its his ability to teach to any belt level, any age, any athletic background - that truly sets him apart.Now with Professor Campelo, a 2 stripe black belt and accomplished instructor, having joined a few months ago, I can say unequivocally there is not a better BJJ gym in the midwest for a guy like me.

Best Jujitsu Academy Ever!!!! Every Gracie Gym is a great place to learn top notch jujitsu. Bring your friends. You will have a great time and get really fit. Also, great community and we always do well at tournaments.

Professor Cristiano Ribeiro is a world class instructor, athlete and person. We are insanely lucky to have someone of his caliber instructing in our area!

The best place in Madison to learn Jiu Jitsu and self defense! No one makes you feel more ready for anything than the 5th Degree black belt, Cristiano!

Everyone needs to do BJJ. period.

Im visiting Madison and would have a better place to train Jiu-Jitsu. People very charismatic and welcoming, and a great lesson. I recommend. OSS!
