Tanner is one of the original members of Madison Judo, studying under our original teacher Anders Angur starting in 2009. He was promoted to Ikkyu in 2013 and left the club to begin his police career in La Crosse. While in La Crosse, Tanner was a judo coach for a local MMA/BJJ gym. Starting in 2019, he returned to Madison and was promoted to Shodan in 2023. He also has a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is a USA Judo certified coach, as well as the Madison Judo Secretary.
Parking is available in the front of the building but is limited. After 5pm and on weekends, the back parking lot of the building is open to the public. 2 MG&E lots within about a block that are also free after 6pm and on weekends. We recommend using these lots during the times they are available.
You will be able to enter from the back lot or the front lot, but for the security of those with whom we share the front hallway, its outer door will require a security code. We'll be propping that door open before and for the first several minutes of any given class. If you are visiting for the first time and don’t have that code, you’ll want to enter through the back lot. The back and MG&E parking areas are shaded red on this map. The rear entrance to Madison Judo will be marked with Foundations Jiujitsu and Madison Judo/USA Judo signage.
