To those who want to be ALWAYS Prepared, NEVER Intimidated:
My name’s Alex, and I’m the Owner of Journey Jiu Jitsu in Madison, WI. Our Self Defense Madison Classes have two goals:
- Teach you the most effective, TESTED self defense system you’ll EVER need to protect yourself and family
- To get you in peak fitness condition to be always battle-ready and confident in the streets.
- You’re sick of feeling out of shape, hesitant, or anxious. You want to be confident and ready for anything.
- You’ve tried working out and eating right, only to find frustration, and little to no results…
- Or maybe you realize that you need a lifestyle change, and you’re finally ready to start eating right, and starting a fitness routine you can manage. You’re ready for a healthy, lean, happy life.
Don’t be Fooled by FAKE
Self-Defense
While most schools claim to teach “Reality-Based” techniques, they only focus at most 5-10% of their curriculum around ground techniques. This is hazardous considering 9/10 fights end up on the ground and stay there.
Journey Self Defense Madison teaches classes with no illusions about this. You’ll learn the TESTED standing and the ground techniques that ACTUALLY prepare you for the reality and chaos of a real fight.
Supreme Confidence, Focus, and Discipline
When you know how to handle yourself in any situation, you develop the kind of confidence and body language that tells people: DON’T MESS WITH ME. Plus, you’ll feel great knowing you can stand up for yourself and your family no matter what happens. You’ll get exactly that with our self defense classes in Madison, WI
Burn Fat & Build Strength While Having FUN
Are you training hard but finding it impossible to build muscle and burn fat? Some people come to our Self-Defense Madison classes just for the fitness results.
Why? Because your entire body gets fit and athletic while burning hundreds of calories per session.
That’s because our combatives program leaves no muscle on your body behind. Your abs, arms, and legs all get stronger, leaner, and more sculpted – and the best part is… you’re having a blast the whole time!

Our drop in per class fee for self defense madison classes is $25, however, we often run an online-only special for our introductory program. If you decide to sign up after the intro program, you can decide if you want to jump into a longer-term program. We have several different programs and multiple ways to fit every budget, and we go over those in detail when we meet you for the orientation.
Krav Maga borrows techniques from other martial arts like Karate, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, and Kickboxing, but the problem with Krav Maga and any similar self defense system is that there is only a handful few ground techniques/escapes taught.
This is not realistic as 9/10 fights end up on the ground. Our combatives self-defense program based in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu without the uniform. We focus heavily on ground grappling and will make sure you can defend yourself both on your feet and on the ground.
- Our self defense classes are a full-body work out. The exercise involved may challenge you at first, but we’ll always encourage you to go at your own pace 🙂 So you may get a little bit sore at first, but the exercise should never cause injury or health issues.
Not at all! Many of our current combatives self defense students NEVER did any kind of sports or martial arts prior to joining. Now, they’re in better shape than most of their friends. So if you’re not in shape or athletic, don’t worry – we’ll get you there in no time.
Although any physical activity carries risk of injury…
We almost NEVER see any injuries in our self defense madison classes. We guide you through the perfect way to do each technique and provide special instruction to help students avoid injury.
Plus, you go at your own pace. That way you don’t force your body to do anything that promotes risk of injury.
- We’ve got a small staff and we like to stay organized 🙂 In order to insure that there’s someone to answer your questions when you show up, please let us know when you’re coming by calling 608-416-1140. Otherwise, we cannot ensure you’ll be helped and you may not be able to get into a class that day.
