Our fees are straightforward and all inclusive. There are no contracts. There is no requirement to buy a Jiu Jitsu Gi/Kimono from our school. There are no testing fees or promotion fees. Promotions will be based on effort and results on the mat. We recognize that people choose to train martial arts for a variety of reasons, and support our students in whatever their goals may be, be they competitive, self-defense oriented, or simply the opportunity to train in a welcoming and challenging environment.

We encourage students to learn from everyone. As such, our open door policy welcomes visitors of any affiliation. Foundations tries very hard to make every class (outside of Friday evening's open mat, for which some experience is required) appropriate for every level, from those completely new to martial arts to seasoned Jiu Jitsu practitioners. In addition, Sunday night’s classes are focused on BJJ fundamentals.

Details: Many Madison MMA gyms offer a “buffet” of martial arts like fitness kickboxing, self-defense, karate, etc. Not us. Our focus is teaching authentic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. That’s because we think Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is the most effective and complete self-defense system in the world. It’s also the best full-body mma workout available, and just plain addictive to learn.
