Before I moved to Madison, I had trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for six years at three different academies in the Chicago area. The first thing I did when I decided to move to Madison was write a list of academies I wanted to try. There were several on the list and I visited Twisted Fitness first. After my first visit to Twisted Fitness, two years ago, I threw out the rest of my list. I instantly knew Twisted Fitness would be my new home and my training partners would become my new family. Mark and Sonya, owners and instructors, have dedicated themselves to their students and to jiu jitsu. Their passion for jiu jitsu and commitment to their students is overwhelming and they demonstrate it on the mat every night. All students, regardless if they are older or younger, men or women, athletic or want to be more athletic, will find a place (a home, rather) at Twisted Fitness.
