Neutral Ground is a great place to learn legit self defense techniques. If you feel intimidated to take a class like this, Neutral Ground is the place to go. Everyone is very welcoming and there is great sportsmanship, comaradary throughout. I've only taken 3 classes and I'm already hooked!
Great environment to learn! I was intimidated joining as a beginner, but everybody has been very welcoming and eager to learn and teach. Join now and save yourself the regret later!
This academy and its (team) members have affected my approach to training and life for the better. The training is patient, deliberate, and intentional. The rolling partners are respectful of varying skill levels. It's my home away from home!
I have been training at this location for about 8 years and for me the culture of the businesses makes jiujitsu easy to learn and reminds me to trust in your teammates. The instructors are approachable and will break down anything I need help understanding.
I got to say that the folks over at Neutral ground have been kind to old school striker wanting to learn jiujitsu . Solid instruction and Professor Friedland has be an excellent resource for the art and the staff are very helpful 😊. I give 414 Legit 🤙🏼salute Neutral ground for giving me a home 🏠.
Great people, terrific vibe. Learning a ton! I’m in town for a bit and everyone in the dojo is super friendly, and very competitive. Getting a great workout, and having a lot of fun.
Neutral Ground is the best place to train in Milwaukee! The vibe is unmatched and the community is great. If you are a female and want to learn how to grapple, this is the spot. It is a super safe, laid back atmosphere and a great place to start your jiu jitsu journey.
This place is great. I'm just a beginner (I am also almost 60) and everyone is nice to me and treats me great. I am bit of a shy guy but everyone helps me when I look lost. Adam is cool and great to work with. It's fun to spar with a black belt like him. I am having lots of fun and learning how to defend myself.
What a wonderful BJJ gym! I was visiting here for work and needed a place to train, and the people at Neutral Ground were wonderful and welcoming. I will continue to come by here whenever I"m in Milwaukee.
This is a fantastic dojo. Newcomers are always welcome and everyone is supportive of each other and there to help one another learn. My only regret is that I didn't check this place out sooner!
John is a great person and a wonderful instructor. I do not train at this gym, I train at another one, but would recommend this gym to anyone looking. If I did not live on the other side of town this would be the gym I would train at.
This place is great! The owner Jon is one of the nicest human beings i have ever met. I experienced such a welcoming and warm atmosphere since the very first time i stepped a foot into this gym. I would recommend it to everybody!
We were visiting from out of town and dropped in for a class. Very friendly atmosphere and great instruction. Everyone made us feel so welcomed and right at home. Can't wait to come back!
Great club with talented teachers and lots of good students. Everyone is helpful and focusses on improving and safety. Lots of free rolling. Many different training session times throughout the week. Plus there are 5 different gyms to go to
My husband and I were in Milwaukee summer 2015 and needed a jiu jitsu home away from home. After trying out a couple different places, we absolutely loved Neutral Ground. Jon Friedland is very friendly, hilarious, and extremely knowledgeable about jiu jitsu. If we are ever back in Milwaukee, this is the place to train. Instruction is great and there are a TON of people at all different levels to roll with. We highly recommend Neutral Ground.
Moved to Milwaukee for a summer, and immediately felt at home at NG... great group of people, drama-less attitude, and solid training. Jon is a great, experienced instructor and a lot of his tricks helped my game improve immensely. Highly recommended!
I love it at Neutral Ground! Great students, great instructors. You really learn a lot from everyone there. I went in with no grappling experience and within a few weeks I really felt like I was beginning to hold my own. That has a lot more to do with how welcoming everyone is then with any natural ability I have.
If you're completely new to Brazilian Jui Jitsu the best days to stop in are Monday and Tuesday at 6:30 pm. I also highly recommend the intro class on Sundays at 10:00 am. You can show up, learn some fundamentals, and see if it's for you before you become a member.
A fun, friendly atmosphere, and no one takes themselves to seriously. Combine that with top tier instruction in all classes and you've got one of the best Bjj and MMA schools around!
