I’ve been a member for around 2 years and have absolutely loved it here. They take training seriously, and practices are designed very intentionally. The coaching, structure, and culture are all top-notch. Having experienced training this way, I don’t think I could ever go back to a more traditional approach to BJJ.

I just took a class this afternoon at Primal, and the gym, instruction, and community were amazing. I’ve become passionate about the ecological approach to training MMA after doing it for over a year back home in California. I found out about Scott from the various podcasts he’s been on, so I made the hour-plus trek up from Chicago while visiting family. Scott, Ben, and the whole community were incredibly welcoming. The Jiu Jitsu class was intense, the members are warriors, and everyone is deeply dedicated to the methodology. I even met two other people in class who also traveled nearly an hour just to train there. If I lived anywhere nearby, I would be here daily. Thanks again for the hospitality!

I stopped into a couple gyms to train at while I was in Milwaukee for work and let me tell you I’m so glad I went here. The coach is very welcoming and knowledgeable. The place was clean and everyone was very respectful and friendly felt like I was back home training with the boys. I left tired and happy! Definitely will be back every chance I get! Highly recommend!

PrimalMKE’s coaches are some of the kindest and most knowledgeable people I’ve met. They encourage everyone, no matter their experience level, to be creative and find moves and a style that works for them. They create a culture of trust and respect where it’s everyone’s responsibility to keep their training partner safe, and where everyone has something to teach someone else. Their coaches compete regularly themselves, including at ADCC trials, and they encourage members to put themselves out there in competitions frequently. Their jump-in-head-first approach may feel challenging at first, but it’s based in sports science and is proven to help athletes improve more quickly than traditional drill style classes. They just added a permanent cage and another huge extension for more classes and their workout area. I highly recommend Primal to anyone who’s interested in a fast-paced, playful learning environment with wonderful people!
