This past weekend, two of the top teams in the Wisconsin jiu jitsu community met head to head and the result was nothing less than entertaining. Hosted at Neutral Ground Milwaukee, the dual meet featured some great match-ups, heavy takedowns, and tight submissions. Check out the final results and a photo journal of the event.

Neutral Ground would like to thank Luiz Claudio for a great seminar last Friday. Then seminar started at 7:30 and went to 10:00. Participants learned everything including a variety of warm-ups, how to breath properly, butterfly passes and a ton of great chokes and arm bars! If anyone who was at the seminar forgot anything, ask Jon, Luke or Perry, they will be more than willing to help you out. Look forward to another Luiz Claudio seminar in the future.

Thank you for everyone who attended the 2010 NG North Arnolds Training Camp and Seminar. A special thanks goes to Jon Friedland and Scott Huston for teaching us some great techniques.

Congratulations on Neutral Ground Jiu Jitsu & MMA on their recent victory against Waukesha MMA in their national caged grappling championship dual meet. The night started off slow with NG having to forfeit the first two weight classes because no one on the team was that weight. So starting in the hole, team Neutral Ground fought back and managed to take the lead by the end to defeat Waukesha MMA.

It was a great night of caged grappling matches!

Neutral Ground North had a few competitors at the C3 BJJ Grapplefest in Indiana. This Jiu Jitsu tournament is comprised primarily of Chicago and Indiana schools and is featuring both GI and NOGI competition. Neutral Ground competitors Tyler, Jamie, Joe and Luke competed in the GI divisions and had a blast. Congradulations to all Jiu Jitsu competitors!

Neutral Ground was luckey enough to host a Luiz Claudio and Thiago Veiga seminar while they were in town from Brazil. These Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belts shared some really unique techniques with the group. Everyone had a blast at the Black Belt seminar and plan on coming next time Luiz and Thiago are in town.
