About Midguard Academy, Port Edwards, WI One mat. Everyone on it.

Midguard Academy teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing to kids and adults in Port Edwards, Wisconsin, just outside Wisconsin Rapids.

You may know us by our former name, MidGuard Kickboxing Academy & Jiu-Jitsu.

Why Midguard

Three things we hold to.

  1. Expert instruction

    Highly trained, experienced instruction in sport karate, kickboxing and jiu-jitsu, dedicated to helping you reach your goals. Whether you’re brand new or already competing, we’ll work with you where you are to improve your technique and get the most out of your training.

  2. Train with champions

    Train alongside state and national champions, in a room that expects growth and determination from everyone in it. Learn from people who have done it, and become your best.

  3. Part of a team

    Beyond a team, we’re a family. The bonds made here hold on and off the mat. It’s more than a place to train. It’s where lifelong connections are made.

How we teach

Strategy, not size.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu isn’t about size or strength. It’s about strategy. Every roll is a puzzle to solve, every technique a move on the board.

We train technique first, so you don’t have to be the strongest or most athletic person in the room. Kickboxing gets the same treatment: range, timing and angles before power. If you like solving hard problems, you’ll like training here.
