Excellent training academy for MMA - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & kickboxing. The owner - Dave Strasser was in the UFC a few times making him one of the first pro MMA fighters from Kenosha. He fought Georges St Piere & it was very close. Many of the people he’s trained are now pros also. He’s a great guy with a big heart & always funny, friendly, and approachable. I always felt like Dave trained me within my experience level & worked myself up to sparring safely with other fighters that knew what they were doing to not injure myself. Dave’s freestyle academy is the oldest running MMA academy in the area and remains an icon for many years. Thanks for the great memories & excellent training.
