We can make many accommodations for students to take part in mainstream training, and also have an adult adaptive program for non-ambulatory people.
Please see the schedule for details on the adaptive program, and feel free to talk to the head instructor about how your needs can be accommodated.
It depends. For fairness and consistency, most new students begin at white belt for both traditional martial arts and jiu-jitsu, unless upon evaluation the head instructor determines that an exception or modification to recognize priorly earned rank can be made. This will be on a case-by-case basis and ultimately comes down to the head instructor's discretion.
Some people with previous experience may learn curriculum and techniques at a faster pace and so test for new rank more frequently, but usually even students with experience find that there is a lot to learn and get better at and so are challenged enough moving at the typical pace.
Discussions about cross-training should take place directly with the head instructor.
No. Tournaments are encouraged but not mandatory.
No. All uniforms and equipment must be purchased through Wisconsin Martial Arts & Fitness Center.
