We teach a simplified and fun version of our style in our children's program, where we teach our kids self defense, and more importantly, self confidence. At our Milwaukee Jiu Jitsu and MMA Gym, we teach a unique striking style catered to our MMA fighters. It is a blend of traditional Dutch style kickboxing, Muay Thai, and techniques and concepts we've learned and apply when we compete in MMA. We have students that train with us to learn self defense. We have students that really love the martial arts. We have students who join with their own fitness goals in mind. Some of our students really enjoy the competition side of our martial arts. We have a strong professional and amateur competitive fight team. We travel around the country participating in MMA events. We are active on the local level, including our own promotion, and on the national level on televised cards. Our gym name and gym motto is "Pura Vida." The direct translation is Pure Life, but the more accurate translation is "Good Life." We teach it, we live it, and we want to share it with you."

Sage Arts Studio Martial Arts & Fitness


Milwaukee, WI - 53219 | (414) 520-7243

Details: Sage Arts Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Anthony Sell and Steve Danbeck. We began this school with the intention of creating a forum in which students from various Martial Arts backgrounds and experience levels could train and share their insights and experiences. This was to be unlike any school we had experienced in Wisconsin, and was based largely on the influences of the Inosanto Academy and the Minnesota Kali Group. This school is based on the belief that information should be openly shared and preserved for future generations. It is our hope that this venture has contributed in some small way to the continuation of knowledge, training methods and experiences unique to the Martial Arts. We are continually expanding our curriculum to include rare and insightful areas of training. Our goal is to develop, in the space of several years, a well-rounded, responsible, fit Martial Artist, with an open-mind and a thorough understanding of the nature of training and physical confrontation.
