Great facility and great instruction. Environment is relaxed and friendly, but the techniques are serious. If you are new to jiu-jitsu, or an experienced player from out of town, definitely check it out.

Not enough good can be said about the crew at CTA Madison. The instructors, the students, the vibe, all top notch. World class techniques and training, with an intimate setting where you’re not just another “number”

I had never taken a shower that made me feel both rich and beautiful at the same time before showering at Caio Terra Academy Madison. I plan on showering there again soon.

When I moved to the Madison area from Denver, I was looking for a gym that I could call home. The instruction by Jordan is top notch but even better is the sense of community among all the members. Moving here from out of state, I was very deliberative on choosing a gym, CTA has been amazing and I know I made the right decision.

I love training here. Our team is so welcoming and fun to train with. Our coach Jordan is so knowledgeable and patient. I have grown so much as a woman and as a student here. My life would not be the same without Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Everyone should come train here and take your BJJ to the next level. OSS!!!!
