Opening the door to martial arts! Providing FREE martial arts classes to youth in Milwaukee. We teach a mixture of self-defense, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and kickboxing all while helping kids build character, discipline, and confidence.

City Champs was started in 2017 By Jared Bell, a local business man and avid boxer/kickboxer. Through his hours at the gym, he noticed the transformation children would have when they started boxing or martial arts. They became more disciplined, respectful, and smiled more.

He realized that every child should have the opportunity to practice boxing or martial arts. 

Thus, City Champs was born. Soon after, as he was putting together a plan and developing partnerships he asked his friend and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Joshua Janis to help develop the programming. The children really took to the programs and more importantly the coaches. City champs trains their coaches to listen to children, have empathy for their challenges and to make the programs fun.


City champs has opened the door to martial arts for Hundreds of kids in the Milwaukee area and we are just getting started! We have partnered with White Lotus Jiu Jitsu and Combat Corner to have a permanent home for our programs and beyond!

Participants are able to train martial arts for free while building friendships and learning from our fantastic coaches and mentors. The training is a mixture of self-defense, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and kickboxing.
