Alliance Jiu Jitsu of Madison

Alliance Jiu Jitsu of Madison is built on the foundation of the Alliance team's proven curriculum and structured approach to skill development. Classes are organized by experience level, with clear progression for both adults and kids. The adult program centers on gi-based Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, offering all-levels instruction as well as dedicated competition training led by Mark and Sonya Plavcan. The academy emphasizes learning at your own pace, focusing on incremental improvement and technical mastery—values reflected in its belt promotion system, which balances attendance, skill, and understanding of both technique and Alliance team history. The kids’ program follows a separate ranking system, guiding children step-by-step from white to green belt and preparing them for adult ranks when they turn sixteen. Instructors highlight goal-setting, perseverance, and respect as part of every class, aiming to build both physical ability and character. Safety and longevity are prioritized, with coaches attentive to teaching proper etiquette and injury prevention so students can enjoy a lifetime on the mats. Beyond jiu-jitsu, Alliance Madison offers applied strength and endurance classes for adults, supporting grapplers who want to round out their training. The facility is wheelchair accessible and welcomes visitors interested in dropping in for a class. Whether students are preparing for competition or simply looking to challenge themselves, the academy’s structure and Alliance team heritage provide a clear path for personal growth.
