The owner Erick rocks and often pushes me to the point where I say jokingly " kill yourself" meaning I love it but he's kicking my butt. Lol. Even in the pandemic , UEMM offered free zoom classes to help most people keep our sanity. I look forward to continuing my membership and getting back in the gym. However, in the meantime, they are killing it via zoom. Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself! Definitely money well spent. Kudos to United Elite, thank you for being the real MVP'

My experience was that I tried it. I decided its just not for me so I asked to have it cancelled. One of the owners said that they would cancel my membership and would not be charged. Though, every month I am still being billed for the membership. I got a new debit card just so I would stop being charged. I did contact them every month regarding this issue. Every month I would still be billed. so just a word of caution for those who may not want to commit to this membership. It was harder than ending a gym membership to be honest.

I've rolled at dozens of academies around the US, and abroad. This is one of, if not the best combination of friendly and competitive culture I've encountered.

Whether you're looking for a friendly roll, want to learn some beginning, intermediate or advanced tech, or roll with some killers, you can find it here at Dubuque BJJ. Almost forgot to mention that they had an awesome classic rock soundtrack during rolls. Thank you Willie!

Brian claimed that one of my sons got it from a tournament over 20 days prior to my son showing any signs of impentigo... impentigo takes 4-10 days to manifest after exposure... my other son has never competed in a tournament. This gym is the only place they both could have gotten it. I asked again about their cleaning procedures and he still will not answer. The place is visably dirty with caked on dust where the display apparel. It looks like they are using packing tape instead of mat tape and that tape is filthy. All red flags. Oh! They also have a ridiculous superstition about not washing belts... no wonder skin infections thrive in this biohazard. Please do not support a business that doesn't take simple standard cleaning steps to protect you and will not duscl9se those steps to patrons. They are now being investigated by the health department. Aside from that, I seriously question the value of their instruction. I have seen 5 year old soccer practices run by volunteer parent coaches that appeard to be more organized than their belting ceremony...a ceeremony that should be routine... the staff did not seem to know what they were doing and the students seem to be out of control.
