Decided to add a little something to the place.

Add another blue! Hunter Mahner has a bright future in the combat sports realm. He’s already collected a fair share of gold in Jiu Jitsu, he’s got his eyes set on State this year in wrestling and he has future MMA goals as well!
His relentless, no fear style will take him as far as he wants to go!
Congrats, Hunter!

Good rolls. Good food. Good people. Good times!
Thanks to everyone who came to officially kick off the new spot and celebrate 5 YEARS OF JIU JITSU!
So grateful to the community we have built here in Manitowoc and beyond!

Added some more color with our newest BLUE BELT!
Pound for pound, Melodie is as tough as they come. She’s not the biggest, she’s not the strongest, but she’s got a steal trap for a brain and therefore lots of tools in her tool chest.
She’s also a talented children’s author! Ask her about one of her books the next time you are looking!
Congrats, Melodie!!!

This weekend not only marks another edition of Statewide Open Mat, but it’s also the Grand Opening of our new location AND our 5 Year Anniversary!!!
We’ll be rolling from 10-12 and then having a Potluck Lunch afterwards.
Hope to see you there!!

Added another purple tonight!!!
Clint Rusch always took to Jiu Jitsu naturally and has taken his athletic ability and added plenty of solid technique to make him one hell of a grappler!
Congrats, Clint!!!

FRESH PURPLE!!!
I don’t promote based on attendance, but it just so happens that Sam Busse has been here the most(and that’s including the 3 months he had to take off for Achilles surgery).
He’s a true believe in “show up whether you feel like it or not” and it shows. Stop in at Tapped On The Lakeshore and tell him congrats!

PS: Watch out for his patented choke!

You’ll never have to bow to these pictures, but it’s worth learning a little bit about each of them.
