Pura Vida BJJ & MMA — Attraction in Milwaukee

I’m a Student at one of the universities schools that this gym feeds from, so this may sound like more personal problems. But I enrolled for a 5:30 MMA course I arrived late because the school doesn’t provide transportation to the place despite being a course you can take. After I arrive at 5:45 I am informed that the MMA course that I signed up for does not exist despite having MMA on my schedule and instead they have a 5:00 BJJ course or a 6:00 kickboxing course. I took the kickboxing course as I was late, and was given rental gloves because my MMA gloves were not designed for kickboxing and were told I have to pay for new gloves.

"Our family absolutely loves Pura Vida! As a parent, finding an activity that truly benefits both myself and my children has been amazing, and this gym delivers on all fronts.

From: Omaha Strangler (Facebook Account), From the moment I stepped into this gym, I knew that I was coming into a real mma gym, with real fighters. When I stepped on the mats I also noticed something that was rare to any other gym Ive been to for no gi bjj training - they made everyone do a minute excercise station between each roll.

Ive been training bjj for five years and this is the first time ive seen this implemented. I love it. My training partners were knowledgeable and also ego free which is rare to find in gyms nowadays. Please give them a try if you haven't already. They are also very...
