A vast majority of reviews praise Neutral Ground Training for its welcoming, friendly atmosphere and excellent instruction. The gym, particularly for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is hailed as a source of fun, learning, and community. People new to the sport or 'rolling' from out-of-towners felt at home quickly and were bowled over by the support and camaraderie regardless of experience level. Jon is a common thread in those reviews, with his instructing style harmonically synced to the vibe of the gym. Some former Greenfield residents chimed in, made it clear that the other dojos needed to bring their skills up to par. The sense of community contributes to their excitement to keep coming and to continue improving, even. The private feedback underscores the sentiment that Neutral Ground Training is the jiu-jitsu hub in Milwaukee. People speak openly about how nice it is to finally enjoy sparring and rolling and how much they have missed the gym. The only thing people complain about is the distance they have to travel to practice. But they still recommend the gym. The feedback is fantastic.
