World class place. I did a drop in class while visiting from our kids town. Intermediate class drilled three fundamental escapes from side control. Everyone felt safe... Read More and respectful to roll with.

Dropped in while in town. Welcoming group of guys. Super high level, lots of people at all levels to train with.

I’ve been training at Alliance HQ for the past 3 years since relocating from Colorado, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. With over... Read More 9 years of experience training at various schools, I can attest to the exceptional quality of instruction at Alliance HQ. Professor Leo is a true master of his craft. His attention to detail and dedication to his students’ progress are remarkable, as evidenced by the many world champions he has trained. The other instructors, including Rick, Yusuf, DJ, and Doc, are equally committed and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure everyone understands the techniques. One of the highlights of my week is the Saturday noon class. It’s rare to find such a large and skilled group, with up to 20 black belts on the mats at times, making for both tough and incredibly rewarding training sessions. If you’re looking for high-level jiu-jitsu instruction, Alliance HQ is the place to be!

Incredible instruction, culture, and community. If you are thinking about dropping in or checking out Jiu Jitsu, this is the place. Operated by world champions who are also world class... Read More people!

Its a lifestyle, an amazing community, you will have no regrets about joining!

Amazing atmosphere, amazing people great coaching !

Alliance Martial Arts Center has truly changed my life. As a woman in her 40s trying out a male-dominated sport, I was initially intimidated, but this center has completely reshaped... Read More my mindset. I used to think I could defend myself, but I quickly learned that self-defense, like any skill, requires dedication and practice. One class is not enough—it’s about consistent effort and following a structured curriculum. What I love most is that advancement here isn’t based on opinion; it’s based on mastering specific skills. If you’re looking for confidence, improved fitness, and a deeper understanding of your body’s capabilities, this is the place to be. Beyond that, I’ve found a community that feels like family, and friendships I never expected. If you’re ready for a life-changing experience, I highly recommend Alliance Martial Arts Center!

Excellent Jiu-Jitsu instruction and professors! My safe place.

Patient instructor and well paced. mix of all skill levels keeps the material accessible. Never felt left behind. Would definitely recommend

Amazing experience!!!!

I moved to Atlanta from Portugal for four months and was looking for a place to train. I found not just an academy, but a second home here in the... Read More US. The atmosphere is fantastic, the instructors are top-notch, and the teaching method is exceptional. My Jiu-Jitsu has grown immensely since I started training here. A big thank you to Alliance Atlanta

I have to start by saying that this review pertains only to membership maintenance and billing, not to the trainers at Alliance. In fact, I am extremely grateful for the... Read More introduction to Jiu Jitsu. I've learned a lot, especially from Doug, who is very patient with us beginners. It was a wonderful learning experience for both me and my husband. However, if the owner or manager is reading this, I implore you to hire someone specifically to manage membership and facilitate communication between your members and your billing company. When we signed the contracts, Corey, the main salesperson we spoke with, mentioned that we could pause the membership for a month if our schedule changed. When I needed to pause due to a medical procedure, I was informed that I had to notify him at least a week before the next billing cycle. This was inconvenient as I couldn't manage it myself online; everything had to go through him. I let that slide. A few months later, I had a follow-up procedure and made sure to text Corey early. I received no response or confirmation and was still billed that month. I dismissed it, thinking of it as a contribution to the trainers. The problem intensified after my contract ended. I continued to see charges. When I contacted Corey, he claimed the contract was extended by a month because I had paused it, even though he never confirmed the pause, and I had seen the charges anyway. He said he would look into it but never followed up. Now a few months after our contracts have ended, we've received calls from the billing company threatening to send our account to collections. I've texted Corey again and left voicemails with no response. Having moved out of Georgia, we can't visit the studio in person to locate the right person for escalation. At this point, I am so desperate that I am leaving a Google review in hopes of drawing some attention to this issue. Please apply the discipline you teach in class to other aspects of your business. This situation is ridiculous and nobody should have to endure such issues. I urge the management to immediately address these concerns and implement a more efficient system for handling membership management. Failing to resolve these billing discrepancies not only affects us but also reflects poorly on your otherwise reputable establishment. I am currently considering legal advice to protect our credit, and I hope it won’t be necessary with your prompt attention to this matter. I left a voice mail again just now, please call us back!

I can’t express enough how grateful I am to be a part of this Brazilian Jiu Jitsu family. From day one, the atmosphere has been welcoming, supportive, and inspiring. The... Read More instructors are not only incredibly skilled but also patient and passionate about teaching. They take the time to ensure everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners, feels seen and supported in their journey. The community here is like no other—there’s a true sense of camaraderie and respect that makes every class feel like a second home. Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, learn self-defense, or challenge yourself mentally and physically, this gym offers so much more than just technique—it fosters growth, discipline, and a deeper connection to yourself. I’m beyond thankful for the positive impact this gym has had on my life. Highly recommend!

Best BJJ gym in the Atlanta area! Always great people, rolls, and lots of sweat. I've been training here for about two and a half years, and even the visitors... Read More say the same thing. An eagle has no predators, like we have no competition.

Absolutely the best gym around! Don't pass up the the opportunity train at the mecca of Jiu-jitsu!!

In town for IBJJF with my daughter and her coach (both competing). Very fortunate to find Alliance Atlanta. Both kids and adults were great for training. Very large mat... Read More space and facilities were clean. Felt very welcome there and will come back anytime while in Atlanta. I've been to lots of gyms and this is absolutely one of the best. If you are ready for an amazing improvement in your life, come try Alliance Atlanta. You won't be disappointed.

Such an amazing project experience!! Everyone was super friendly! They had separate areas for newer people and more advanced people. The facility was spacious and beautiful! ... Read More 10/10! If you wanna be the best, you gotta train with the best!

I did a fundamentals class recently and I really enjoyed the professors intentional communication to help maneuver new moves and be safe. A great gym, I will keep training here.

I dropped in to visit noon No Gi with Professor Leo last week and it’s was such a great class! I’ve used the technique he taught several times in rolls... Read More the following days, with lots of success already. Also, Leo stated rules for mat etiquette/ submissions amongst different belt levels before regular training began, which I appreciate the clarity, as a visitor, and if I was their regular student, would also think is so great when we have visitors because everyone is on the same page with the goal to be safe. Plenty of mat space and the members, even the ones who worked standing, had extremely good mat awareness. I train at another gym closer to where I live, but we’re so lucky to have Alliance headquartered in Atlanta. I take strength and conditioning classes, in the area, with several local Alliance competitors, and their gym’s culture of healthy athletes, has positively impacted me and my teammates to also prepare our bodies for the demands of jiu jitsu competition in a sustainable way. Plenty of safe training partners here, lots of female training partners in the class I took even though it was the middle of the day, the mats, facility, and women’s bathroom are clean. They have two shower stalls in the women’s bathroom which is awesome if you have to go back to work after training. The front desk staff was friendly and organized. This is a great place to train if you’re looking for a home gym, definitely check them out!

Thank you, Alliance ATL, for the warm welcome! We truly enjoyed the 8 and up class great energy, instruction, and atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!
