About Us

I have attended Alliance for four months now. Recently I switched from beginner's level to an intermediate level. I like the structure of learning process with gradually growing intensity and difficulty, continuous repetition of material, and help from instructors and more experienced students. I really like presence of shower rooms in the facility. Flexibility of the schedule allows many choices of convenient days for training.

Very clean and professional gym with talented instructors. Got some good rolls in and learned a couple of cool techniques while visiting for a drop in. Very welcoming and communication was great from the reception staff. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

I moved to the Atlanta area with my wife on a whim. I didn't have a job, a house, or any real ties to the place. Joining Alliance has really given me a good sense of family. While it may be jarring to walk into a place full of strangers (especially with the kind of caliber these Juijitsu legends have), they certainly know how to welcome new students wherever they are on their journey. I had been training for 1 1/2 to 2 years and thought I had a some good basic knowledge of the sport. Alliance fundamentals showed me I had a lot to learn and it has been one of the best programs I've seen. Whatever you do... don't skip the fundamentals class. Watching these black belt instructors give specific detail on how to perform each move is amazing. I learn new things every time we go over techniques I've already seen. Whether you're wanting a good workouts, a new skill to learn, or even compete at the very best level - Alliance is the place to do all of it.

Very detailed and precise instruction. The instructors ensure all the students are doing every technique correctly. Awesome teaching and training. Oss.

My husband and I choose Alliance Martial Arts Center Headquarters for the incredible curriculum and authentic history which brought Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here in United States. If you wish to learn from the SOURCE, if you wish to compete, if you wish to understand, and not just memorize the moves, this place is for you! It has been 5 months since we joined this school, and I have to say that curriculum and professionalism with paying attention to every person and every detail makes this school an UNIVERSITY. This school puts standard on what Martial Art school should look like! Regardless, if you wish to compete or not, there is always something to learn here. All ages are welcome, from 5 years old to 100 years old! I am more than impressed! Jiu-Jitsu does not come easy for me. But I feel the support of my professors and teammates every step of the way. In the competitive World, Alliance is the number ONE school! So, what can be better than learning from CHAMPIONS?!

This is the 3rd gym I have trained at in Georgia. I came here because, in every single jiujitsu tournament, I always lost to Alliance athletes in the finals. These guys are now my best friends and training partners. This gym has a diverse crowd of instructors who are capable of catering to the student so their needs may be met from many angles of experience.

The best place to learn about Jiu Jitsu and respect.

I appreciate the honesty of the instructors who informed us of how to stay safe, and the importance of persistence and taking preventative measures. It was very beneficial to be able to practice the moves on the instructors. Most woman may feel intimidated to flip a grown man but the instructors are personable and encouraging.

The most elite Jiu-Jitsu team in the world. Grandmaster, Romero Jacare Cavalcanti, has trained countless World Champions, and he is 1 of only 6 people to have obtained a Black Belt from the legendary Rolls Gracie. The style of training appeals to competitors all around the world, and that is why they come to this gym to train. Although the training is intense, the Alliance founders and all instructors create an atmosphere of respect for all of our students. They offer classes for children as well as adults beginners, intermediate and advanced. This gym has changed many peoples lives including mine. Providing confidence and discipline to the adults and all little warriors.

For my personal interest, I'm searching to learn the ART of Jiujitsu, not just the sport side of it. I have visited quite a few schools  before deciding to switch academies, I found Alliance to be the best place for me because their style of training fits my belief "Self-Defense is first" and the vast amount of knowledge Professor Jacare has to offer is just amazing.

I've been fortunate enough to train all over the world and Alliance is hands down my favorite place. Tough training partners and multiple time world champion instructors that create a fun learning environment!

Trained with the Alliance Team for years at Joslin's MMA and Dragan's in Canada, and even got to train with Master Jacare down in Atlanta back in 2003. It's still the best martial arts training I ever got in my life. Talented, tough, intelligent and with big hearts that make you feel like family. The way Jiu-Jitsu was always meant to be trained. Alliance all the way.

Excellent place for your Kids, Great instructors!

I've been training for a few months now at Alliance, & as someone who has never trained in martial arts before, the experience has been amazing - the methodology of Alliance really works when it comes to training up students who are completely new. The instructors & leadership here are both highly skilled & good at teaching.

I've been here for almost a year now so I think it's appropriate for me to write a review. Aside from all of the accolades that the various trainers, athletes, and even hobbyist here possess, it is just an enjoyable place to train. I am big on cleanliness for any type of close quarters contact sport and this is easily the cleanest martial arts facility I have ever seen. Another thing that I really like about Alliance is the structure. Personally, as someone unfamiliar with grappling having a structured curriculum provides me with a means of processing everything effectively. Finally, I find that almost everyone is very helpful and willing to assist new students. I highly recommend Alliance Atlanta.
