I went to Veneration BJJ while visiting family in Kenosha. I highly recommend this academy. Everyone was welcoming, helpful, and patient. We worked on a technique, applied it in situational, then worked on hitting the technique during live spar/roll. I will definitely be applying what I learned in my first BJJ competition. The academy was very mellow and I will be returning the next time we visit. Thank you for having me, Veneration!

This is an extremely welcoming gym with great instruction. I have visited a variety of gyms and this one stands out as a top place to visit. The training partners want to learn, not destroy you, and the updated flooring makes stand up drills seem like nothing. I would not hesitate to come back.

I am a frequent guest of this gym and I give it the highest rating. The atmosphere is great for learning, the facilities are nice and the coaching is excellent. If you live in the Kenosha/Racine area, I highly recommend you check it out. Whether you are brand new to the sport or an experienced black belt, you will learn so much and you will enjoy doing it.

Veneration has a great newly updated facility that is always clean. Everyone is very welcoming and the main coach Jameel understands Jiu Jitsu at a deep level. He is one of the most experienced coaches in the state. Check this gym out!

Great place to train. Top tier instructors, great training partners. Perfect whether you compete or just want to learn. Offer classes Monday through Saturday and sometimes Sunday too. Great seminar opportunities as well!

Veneration Jiu Jitsu (and the family and affiliates) has been a place that I’ve called home for 7 years. This academy is inclusive in that it accepts all. We have a number of adult and kid competitors at various levels. We also provide and welcome the hobbyists (those who may not want to compete), too. I’ve grown as a martial artist and person within the academy walls, and I plan to have my children do the same. My wife attends classes, too. Our female members are growing, allowing for more training partners for all. I highly recommend this academy. From our white belts to black belts, all are welcoming, knowledgeable, and willing to help whoever walks through the door.

As a parent, I couldn't be more happy with my teenage son's experience at Veneration BJJ. This academy has created a positive and nurturing environment. The instructors are not only skilled but also genuinely care about the well-being and growth of each student. They take the time to break down complex techniques in a way that is accessible to all skill levels. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained, providing a safe space for training. Seeing my son's passion for Brazilian jiu-jitsu grow and witnessing the sense of camaraderie within the academy's community has been rewarding. I highly recommend Veneration BJJ to any parent seeking a place where their teenager can learn valuable skills, build character, and be part of a positive and inclusive martial arts family.

I’ve enrolled my two children (6 and 8) and myself at Veneration. The environment for both the adults and the kids is welcoming. All of the instructors are patient and want to see you succeed. I’ve seen my kids’ confidence skyrocket since starting. If at all curious check it out, the staff put zero pressure on you to join

This place is top notch. I joined here just over 6 months ago with my twin 6 year olds. Having never done any martial arts the instruction and support from Professors Jameel and Doc has been second to none. 9 classes a week are available which makes this club exceptional value for money, the Veneration family are so welcoming. Regarding the kids section I have seen a huge increase in confidence in my twins and Coaches Gil and Kevin are brilliant with the kids while still holding them accountable. If you are looking for a high quality Brazilian Jiu jitsu gym look no further.

Our son has been going here for around 3 months. I have noticed his grades and demeanor have improved. The staff is outstanding. Have improved.

The overall feel of the gym is very welcoming and open. The teaching staff do an incredible job breaking down every move so that everyone, regardless of experience, can understand and do them. Highly recommended for someone just beginning or someone looking for some solid rolling! This gym has everything

It's my home town academy of choice. Great training partners, great instruction, and, for the not so feint of heart, wrastling.

If you think that waking up and having your body contorted and esophagus closed sounds fun, stop on by! Seriously, I love Doc's morning classes; he answers questions, and he goes into depth on concepts. Fun fact, if Doc says, "This is the last thing I'll say about this..." he's about to delve into the idea for about 5 minutes. Great community, great classes, great hobby. Honestly, for a group of guys who choke eachother, it's a real nice bunch. Please stop by for a free trial!!!

Great instruction in a safe environment. Something for everyone, from those looking to get in shape while learning self defense, to those who want to compete. Kids to 50 year old adults. Wouldn't train anywhere else.

Veneration BJJ is so much more than a Brazilian jiu jitsu gym. It's a family! The instructors and techniques are top notch. The atmosphere of the gym and attitudes of the people in it, allow you to bring out the best in yourself. Dave and Kelli are fantastic people running a GREAT family oriented facility. Look no further than Veneration BJJ!

I've been training for a year and four months . Humility , respect , and to be of service to others, is what sets this place apart from the rest and is also why I chose to have all 3 of my kids enrolled as well . A very positive family atmosphere surrounded by leadership that truly care .

Joined this gym to learn from a Naga Champion. Ended up getting charged for membership after being told I don’t fit the environment of the Gym. Asked for refund, was basically told “screw you”. Had to go through bank to try and get my money back, we will see.
