Just took our 14 year old daughter here for class and she loved how welcoming everyone was. Will definitely be bringing her back! Great studio, teachers and community feel.
Posted 11 months agoThis gym has helped me to learn how to breathe and be calm during quick situations. Even if I'm still starting, everyone here has been supportive, kind, and patient as I learn. I think a lot of people imagine scary fighting, this gym has changed my perspective and helped me feel safe. 🙂
Posted 1 year agoOur daughter goes here and she has loved the experience. They keep the students moving the whole time, emphasize listening , respect for themselves and others , and working hard. They also are super active and having a great time .
Great place, great friends, great jiu jitsu!
Amazing professors, great atmosphere, and all around great people to train with.
Started with our 8 y/o a few months ago; coaches & kids have been supportive in teaching. He's grown a lot & loves his time here!
We bring our five year old here and he loves it! The coaches are all parents and patient with the kids as they learn. Very happy we found Neutral Ground.
Had a great experience training with this team while passing through Milwaukee. Coach Dustin showed us a knee bar move, that I wasn’t familiar with. Found the roles both challenging and controlled. Got to meet a great group of gals. Was honestly taken back by the hospitality and genuine helpfulness of the academy being a tourist, felt like a really great culture. Would definitely recommend! Thanks NGA 💗
A great martial arts gym for adults and children! My wife has been training at NG since 2012. Both of my daughters have trained at NG since they were 4 years old. The owner, Jon, has grown an amazing culture that gives the gym a sense of community and its members a sense of belonging. Nothing is intimidating about this place, because no matter who you are (big, small, new, experienced, etc) everyone who steps on these mats is on neutral ground.
Fantastic place to learn and train. A great and welcoming community.
Fantastic gym with very knowledgeable and patient instructors!
We have three kids (ages 5-11) that go to Neutral Ground and LOVE their time with the new friends they've made over the years and the confidence it has given them in their daily lives. The instructors are incredible with all the ages and make everyone feel like family.
What a GREAT group of people!!!

I have been coming to neutral ground for years and lived the environment. You get to grow at your own pace but be challenged at the same time. I even have my kids enrolled and love to see them grow in this environment as well. Bjj might not be for everyone but I would recommend it to anyone for the experience.
Jon has created not just a business but a home for practitioners of jiu jitsu! From the great instruction to the welcoming environment, Neutral Ground is a must stop for anyone interested in jiu jitsu. Whether a newcomer or a seasoned practitioner, make sure to put this place on your list!
Their kids classes build focus, teamwork and respect for others! Love this experience for my kids.
I had serious reservations on sending my thirteen-year-old to a full-contact training school, especially since he was too big for the kid classes, and still a bit small for the adult classes. But it's been six months now (he goes twice per week), and I couldn't be more pleased with Neutral Ground. I could tell from watching the first class that this was a safe place for him to train, and that they treat each other as a community. They take interest in helping each other improve, they treat each other as friends, and they make every effort to not injure each other. This is an absolutely fantastic school.
This place is amazing. The coaches are so nice and they work so well with the children my daughters always look forward to their classes.
Absolute best atmosphere. Beginner or veteran martial artist, your welcomed like family.
If you are trying to join a great community to try to improve yourself physically, mentally, and socially? This is the superb establishment to do so. With 3 different locations around the local Milwaukee area and many more around the state. You will always find some friendly neutral grounders to roll with. ~Zeus
This is a great gym that expanded into the Bayview area. John is a wonderful human being and he will teach you Jiu Jitsu as well as show you a great time.
