Wisconsin Martial Arts & Fitness Center offers 2-Day trials to all prospects so you can experience our Traditional Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs before enrolling.
Rates differ between ages, programs, etc. and can be discussed at the beginning or end of your trial, per the prospect's discretion.
We do offer some family and referral discounts, with specifics discussed upon enrollment.
We offer a one year contract. There is an early termination fee if a student decides to terminate before the full year has been completed. This policy is common in most gyms.
After the first year has been completed, enrollment is on-going on a voluntary monthly basis.

Classes are UNLIMITED within the program you are enrolled in.
There are martial arts classes available 5-6 days per week, and only a few are limited by age and rank.
There are boxing/circuit classes available 4 days a week.
Most classes take place on weekday evenings and weekends, but there are some weekday morning and afternoon classes for our adaptive and fitness programs.
For full details, please refer to our schedule where you will find a clear breakdown of the class schedule for all programs and practitioners.
Our traditional martial arts program has Tang Soo Do and Hwa Rang Do influences. Thus students will learn hard linear application, circular application, and the redirection of energy. Students will enjoy open hand and weapon forms, sparring/kickboxing, self defense including joint manipulation and takedowns, fundamentals, and lots of exercise!

We can make many accommodations for students to take part in mainstream training, and also have an adult adaptive program for non-ambulatory people.
Please see the schedule for details on the adaptive program, and feel free to talk to the head instructor about how your needs can be accommodated.
It depends. For fairness and consistency, most new students begin at white belt for both traditional martial arts and jiu-jitsu, unless upon evaluation the head instructor determines that an exception or modification to recognize priorly earned rank can be made. This will be on a case-by-case basis and ultimately comes down to the head instructor's discretion.
Some people with previous experience may learn curriculum and techniques at a faster pace and so test for new rank more frequently, but usually even students with experience find that there is a lot to learn and get better at and so are challenged enough moving at the typical pace.
Discussions about cross-training should take place directly with the head instructor.
No. Tournaments are encouraged but not mandatory.
No. All uniforms and equipment must be purchased through Wisconsin Martial Arts & Fitness Center.
