Midwest Jiu Jitsu Academy Quincy, IL

Midwest Jiu Jitsu Academy Quincy, IL is led by Professor Scott Altgilbers, whose experience spans Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Modern Army Combatives. Scott’s diverse martial arts background shapes the academy’s approach, blending the precision of jiu-jitsu and the dynamic throws of judo with practical self-defense strategies. The academy was founded on the belief that purposeful training and mutual support are essential for real progress, and these values guide every class on the mats. The academy offers structured Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs for both adults and kids, rooted in the traditions of Brazilian and Japanese martial arts. Students work on developing practical skills and strategies, with an emphasis on technique, discipline, and continuous improvement. Judo is taught alongside BJJ, giving students the opportunity to learn effective takedowns and pins that complement their ground game. There is also a dedicated women’s BJJ program focused on building confidence and practical self-defense skills. Classes are available for a range of age groups, and the schedule includes open mat sessions where adults can roll and refine their techniques in a less formal setting. The Quincy location is wheelchair accessible, making it possible for more people to participate. Through a mix of structured instruction and open training, Midwest Jiu Jitsu Academy provides students with the tools to grow as martial artists and as individuals.
