While looking for a gym to take my children, I decided to participate in Journey's 42 day challenge to experience the gym culture and instruction first hand, and now that I've completed the challenge, not only am I signing my children up I've begun the journey of becoming a blue belt. This gym has been welcoming, encouraging, and fun. Looking forward to learning Jiu-Jitsu with my kids at Journey Jiu-Jitsu, and our new extended family.

If you’re reading this review, then you’re considering training with Journey Academy; Do It! When I joined, I was simply looking for a form of exercise that introduced a social aspect, since activities like swimming or jogging are isolating at times. I never expected Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to have such a positive impact on my confidence and overall stress management in such short time. I’m not deep into the sport yet, just 2 months in as of writing this (completed the Warrior challenge recently), but I wanted to give a review and let people know that this Journey is worth embarking on. I personally feel that everyone should feel the impact that BJJ can have on one’s mind as well as their body, and Journey Academy is a great place to train it!

I was looking for a fitness plan that offered more than the standard lift, pull and push approach seen in most gyms. I found so much more at Journey! The instructions are clear, the staff is world class and the sense of community is second to none! With a variety of class schedules and the offering of traditional or No Gi styles I would be hard pressed to not find time to attend. It’s more than that though, with a nutrition plan and folks that hold you accountable, it feels like a family. I would recommend Journey anyone looking to improve themselves through hard work and dedication.

I've been coming here, along with my kids, for 7 months now. We all love it. The kids classes are fun for the kids, yet structured and disciplined enough to be a quality learning environment. Both of my kids are learning at an incredible rate and love playing/rolling with their friends. There is a good mix of experienced/older kids, and new/younger students of all sizes. The adult classes are also great. I started from almost zero BJJ experience as an older guy and enjoyed it from the first class. The pace is a perfect fit: I feel challenged every day, but I can still keep up and progress. The coaches have developed a solid curriculum and great culture of cool people. I look forward to practice days!

Overall, a great gym for new or experienced people. The gym offers classes 3-4 times a day, each class taught by a different coach. I had the opportunity and availability to attend classes taught by each coach throughout my time at the gym. All the coaches are very competent and engaging, and each has unique methods, preferences, and styles when approaching jiu jitsu and teaching. This gives you the opportunity to choose which coach’s style is best suited for you, even though each coach is more than happy to show you, individually, alternative approaches to movements when confusion and struggles arise. The coaches were also eager to show and teach alternatives to movements to best suit your innate skills, strengths, and anatomy. There are also open mat times after some classes to allow more time to roll; this is especially useful when it’s nearing competition time. The fellow members of the gyms are also amazing and helpful people! As a new member and someone new to jiu jitsu the tips given by experienced members while rolling we’re just as helpful as the coaches!

I can't recommend Journey enough for giving me an opportunity to try something totally out of my comfort zone. I've always been interested in fitness, but wanted to mix up my stale exercise routine. I'm a 5'2" woman, and had never pursued a high contact sport. I initially joined Journey for their six week introductory course because of the gym’s philosophy. They obviously put a lot of thought and care into how they structure their new students’ experiences in the gym. The introductory program requires new students to come for six weeks, three days a week. I believe the philosophy behind that approach is to a) help newcomers looking to get into or back into fitness develop some level of accountability and help them form a habit around fitness, and b) enable them to actually understand what Jiu Jitsu is all about. I myself quickly realized that I couldn’t have possibly judged Jiu Jitsu after a class or two. The regularity of my attendance also created a community of friends (something I’m trying to cultivate as a remote worker), since I saw the same people every week. My first day at the gym was amazing. Alex, my coach and also the owner of the studio, was very welcoming and immediately paired me with another student my size. At the end of class, he publicly congratulated me and the whole class cheered. What a supportive environment right off the bat. Over the course of the next few weeks, I started to appreciate Alex’s teaching style. Of course he taught us a variety of specific moves, but more importantly he tried to help us see patterns of movement. This quickly helped me transition away from trying to remember specific choreography (something I tend to do as a former ballet dancer), into being able to respond smoothly to opponents. By the end of my six weeks, I felt somewhat decent at defense and holding my guard. I also can’t emphasize how kind the rest of the students were. As I’m sure many people could imagine, Jiu Jitsu tends to be male-dominated. Any men I was paired with, despite size, height, or age differences, were always very kind and respectful. Whenever I asked a male student to roll with me, they never hesitated to say yes, something I’m not sure is always common. Finally, I was never the only woman in the room! NEVER! I attended 18-20 classes and there were always at least one or two other women there. So ladies, if you are interested in BJJ, you’ll have a female community immediately at Journey. For personal reasons, I decided to end my time at Journey after the six week introductory course, although I very seriously considered moving forward with the blue belt program. For anyone considering trying something totally new, I’d recommend Journey in a heartbeat.

Catch22

I joined Journey at the beginning of 2020 as a means of staying in shape with the side benefit of learning some self defense. I did not expect at the time BJJ was going to be so MUCH FUN. It taps into the same reward center that gets you addicted to video games and that's what keeps you coming back every week. On top of that, you meet new people every day. Some of these people become life-long friends, and it's very easy to make friends because you know there's at least one common interest you can talk about. All my friends are now people I've met through Jiu Jitsu and I would regularly hang out outside of class, whereas before Jiu Jitsu I had no social life. I watched them grow from a new gym with mostly white belts to a growing army of blue belts and purple belts. They are also likely the most female friendly BBJ gym in the area. Since there are already so many women attending, it's easy for them to find other female training partners. I earned my blue belt in September 2021. Sadly, I couldn't stay in Madison and had to say goodbye, but I will never forget them. Go Journey!

I have been training at Journey for approximately 5 months, best investment I’ve made in a long time. At 37 years old I weighed 205 lbs in January and I now weigh 170 lbs. This gym has an amazing and diverse group of people: younger, older, men, women, college athletes, middle aged parents (like me), and everything in between. DO NOT be intimidated if you do not have grappling experience, everyone there is focused on making each other better. If you were a wrestler and want to push yourself there are some great training partners that can assist you with that at Journey. It is an amazing little community, and I have made several new friends. Coach Alex & Bill are incredibly welcoming. Just stepping foot in the door is the hardest part, once you’re there it’s addicting. If health and confidence is a priority, you should consider it.

My 12 year old son and I joined Journey BJJ at the end of October, 2018 with the intent to help my son become physically active, learn to protect himself and teach him to be a more respectful and disciplined person. We were introduced to the art with the support of the superior instruction and friendship from both Prof. Cristiano and Coach Alex. Our learning adventure quickly became an addiction that my entire family is now a part of. Prof. Cristiano and Coach Alex have helped us all exceed even the greatest expectations we initially had set for ourselves and continue to push us to new levels of accomplishment and self confidence. Our little academy has quickly grown into a brother/sister hood and family where everyone is accepted and supported. This is a world class opportunity no one should miss!
